My blogger friend Kirk over at Just Thinkin’ gave me a break out blogger award. I am honored and flattered. Kirk always supports and encourages my site. When blogging sometimes a little comment or link is all it takes to give us the encouragement to keep on working. Now that I have the award I can give it to 3 other people of my choosing.
I did some research on this BOB and it comes from a site called bobbarama the award comes with code that links back to this site. But there was no mention of this code in Kirks site or in the site that gave him the award. I’ve discovered other sites that also offer award badges and say its optional whether you link back or not. So this may be the case with the BOB as well.
It looks like creating an award with code that links back to your site would be a good way to get some links. But why would someone want to link to your site? At the very least, maybe getting a mention on some kind of blogroll. Of course this could get out of hand very fast. Maybe a java script blogroll that doesn’t count as a link but lists blogs so others can find you.
If anyone has some more information on these awards and the pros and cons, I’d love to hear about it. What is your opinion on all of this?

Nope, I didn’t know about the link back or the source but I’m glad you mentioned it. I’ll have to check it out. You still deserve it though.
