Ad & Marketing Blogs Multiply Like Rabbits

I must admit I’ve been slow to warm up to the Ad Age 150. Mainly because of where AdPulp was ranked.

But now that we’re climbing and will hopefully gain a footing in the top 50, I’m open to reconsidering the merits of such a system ;->
The fact is popular doesn’t necessarily mean good. But popular does lend itself to monetization, which we’re interested in.
So what do you think? Should we adorn this shiny new layout with a badge that brags?

About David Burn

I wrote my first ad for a local political candidate when I was 17. She went on to win her race, and I felt the power of persuasive copy for the first time. Starting in Portland in 1995, I worked my way across the country as a copywriter and eventually became a content director making media products for big packaged goods brands. I returned to Oregon in 2008, and now I focus on building brands for companies that matter, including this one.

    This is awesome.
    You deserve it.
    I submitted my blog for consideration yesterday. I’ll be lucky to break 500!
    Kudos.

    Thanks Gary and Steffan.
    We were #52 when I wrote this post yesterday, which was six spots up from #58. Today, we’re #45. Lots of fluidity to this thing. But it all seems to be going in the right direction for us, so I’m grateful for that.

    Sure, why not. I threw a basic one on the bottom of my sidebar links when I got on it.

    I say do it. If it feels too much like bragging, just balance it out with a badge for something more altruistic. That way, you get some recognition and a worthy cause might get a few more donations.
