2007 Bloggers Tournament Final

March 14th, 2007 - - Filled in: Blogging

The (dare I say) 1st Annual Bloggers Tournament has turned out to be a great success so far. I’m sure we’ll do it again next year…with more blogs. What I thought would turn out to be another Bloggers Face-Off between John Chow and Matt Coddington as featured on Daily Blog Tips has turned out to be a tournament of upsets. Imagine the odds-makers in Vegas right now who put 1,871,000:1 odds that propstm.net would appear in the Final game of the 2007 Bloggers Tournament. :D

Game 5 pitted #8 seed propstm.net against #4 NetBusinessBlog.com. Neither earned bonus points, but they did make early campaign runs on Day 1. propstm.net upset NBB, 12-8.

Game 6 featured the evil one himself, John Chow (#3) against the seemingly innocent #7 seed, CareerRambings.com. Both earned 5 bonus votes by linking to the Day 2 post, but John’s downfall may have come when he urged his readers to vote for Jane. And we thought he was evil…well, he’s still pretty evil. CareerRamblings.com edged JohnChow.com by 4 votes, 18-14. Nice.

So here’s where we stand

propstm.net vs. CareerRamblings.com

Now that it has come to this stage, I wonder if we have an obvious champion yet. *hrmm.. On second thoughts, not yet.

“how did careerrambling beat JohnChow…”

Because John Chow told everyone to vote for CR, he is the root of all evil you know!

How did we beat John Chow??? Well, all I can say is Chow’s readers are loyal and they listen. But I also would like to think that some people out there do like what we do at CR :-)

Absolutely, john anthony! I enjoy reading your blog very much. I’ve already got a job, and…stuff…but I often send y’alls (Texas) articles to people I know.
