Did you vote for the best China blogs? the 1st voting week summary

 

Chinalyst has been running the China Blog Awards 2007 for a week now. On 01.07 voting for the best China Blogs opened for all and will keep running till the 31.07.

Here's a short summary of the first voting week :

  • Since announcing the China Blog Awards 9 new China blogs have joined Chinalyst, and Chinalyst now registers 118 China related blogs. There are still many China blogs out there...
  • So far 1609 votes have been counted for the awards.
  • The purpose of the China Blog Awards is to drive traffic to the China blogosphere and promote link-love between the China blogs. I hope the China blog awards promoted a slight boost in traffic for the China blogs this past week. A few China bloggers have kindly taken this opportunity to recommend blogs they enjoy reading. Aside from promoting your own blog, write about the blogs you regularly read and link to them.
  • Some of the blogs have received an impressive amount of votes due to efficient blog promotion. I've been tracking the process and for those who emailed for details, here are the methods I saw used this weeks sorted by their efficiency:
    • Calling all forum members that the blogger is affiliated with to come in and vote. Some have even went as far as putting detailed explanations on how to vote for their blog on Chinalyst in their forum and email signatures.
    • Calling all blog readers to vote for the blog with a direct link.
    • Putting one of the China Blog Awards Nominee banners on the blog with a direct link to the blog on Chinalyst and a small text "Go vote for me".
    • Writing about the China Blog Awards in general and pointing to the categories.
  • As of today, here are the top blogs in each China blog category:

There are 3 more weeks till voting closes. Everything can change.

Good luck.
