The Spunker placed 4th out of 7 contenders for Battle of the Ad Blogs
2006 for best commercial ad blog category. Thanks for your votes. Had
we pushed a little more, we could've gotten 3rd, as that went to Fast Company,
who only beat us by 33 votes. There was rampant ballot stuffing,
especially by the agency blogs. Adrants, who won our category, also had about
80 votes discounted because either people submitted multiple votes from the
same ip or used ip anonymizer programs while voting. We'd chalk that up more to
overzealous fans as Adrants has more important things to do, like find pictures
of women in various stages of undress that peripherally relate to advertising.
Though we’re glad the silly thing is over, it was a cool way
to bring the community together and trade some traffic back and forth in a more
free-wheeling atmosphere than the usual client-patron hierarchical system of
story sourcing. Now we can get back to what really matters, posting ad porn.
