It was an honor to first be nominated and then be a finalist for Pinnacle Awards Affiliate of the Year Award along with Mike Allen of Shopping-Bargains.com and Scott Aikin of Hawkee.com.  During Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas earlier this week (great time, btw), Mike won the respected title, and it couldn’t have gone to a better person.  I’m happy for him and privileged that I was acknowledged as his peer.

Congrats to all the winners of the Pinnacle Awards…

You can read the Shawn’s full article above, or read about it on Missy’s blog (as hers is better looking).  I was nominated as a Pinnacle Awards Finalist for Affiliate of the Year, along with Scott Aikin and Mike Allen.  The only thing I have on those guys is that I have more hair, ha.  They are both exceptional affiliates, and I am privileged to be considered among them.  In fact, every finalist is a respected authority in the affiliate community, and I’m glad to call them all my friends.  Congratulations! And see you all in Vegas!

I didn’t know that a hundred people in Nebraska actually used Twitter!  I even made the Top Ten. Are you following me yet?  And if you aren’t using Google Alerts yet, I highly suggest it to see who’s talking about you!
