Thanks Michele, but I don’t know about a third… I think someone named Deb may take issue with that.

Thanks Deb. :)

Congrats Brian. Your blog has helped me immensely in copywriting.

I check your site many times a day and you are definitely #1 on my list of blogs, and I don’t see that changing. Good luck this upcoming year and keep up the amazing articles.

I also want to say thanks to those who write guest articles on Copyblogger.

As Cookie Monster would say, Me Love Copyblogger!

11 Wendy Piersall December 11, 2007 at 6:29 pm

I’m SO PROUD of Lorna & Tamara, as their blog is not even three months old – they even sent me an email that said something like “we’re on a list with Brian Clark”!!

Congrats on your #1 spot – a no-brainer. :D

12 Alex December 11, 2007 at 7:50 pm

Congratulations Brian,

A well deserved spot I must add – your content is not only unique but also inspiring. I think it is specifically useful not for the writers, who already know how to do it :) but for the technical type bloggers. We straggle the most and need biggest help :)

13 Janice C Cartier December 11, 2007 at 8:45 pm

congrats Brian!!!

14 Sonia Simone December 11, 2007 at 10:40 pm

Congratulations Brian! Even before I started blogging, I knew of you and your blog. I am utterly humbled to be on the same list with you. :)

23 Tom Chandler/Copywriter Underground December 12, 2007 at 6:09 pm

Congrats Brian! This is a consistently great blog — no easy feat.

24 lornadoone December 14, 2007 at 4:07 pm

Winning this award was so gratifying for us at Freelance Parent, that I just smile every time I think about it. Only slightly less exciting was when my husband brought home a copy of the list. He had printed it out to show all the other IT geeks at work that his wife’s blog made it on the same list as Copyblogger.

Congratulations!

25 Marie June 10, 2008 at 9:59 am

Congratulations Brian! I really enjoy your site. I have a great book I would like you to look at. It is a favorite of mine and since you are all writers I thought you might like to treat yourselves for a change and enjoy something truly inspirational. You won’t want to put it down!
