Dear folks, I’ve been thinking of a way to give back some of the appreciation you’ve shown me since day one, a way to compensate for the time you spend reading these blog posts and commenting upon them.

Initially, the famous “Top Commentators” plugin crossed my mind, but since it will be hard to keep out those who (unfortunately) try to “beat the system”, I’ve decided to choose another method.

Since I already go through every comment I receive and appreciate those comments that contribute to the amount of quality information of this blog, every month, I will pick one of my commentators to be awarded as “Reader of the Month”.

I will not base my decision on the number of comments you leave, but rather on how useful and on-topic they are. There will also be other factors that will affect my decision, but since I’m not trying to guide you on how you should react on and toward Blogsessive, I will not disclose them.

So, what does the “Reader of the Month” get, besides the title? Public recognition manifested in listing his/her name along with a do-follow link to their blog/website on the homepage of Blogsessive, between the promo boxes and the content.

Please note that reader blogs and websites used as pure product promotion tools or containing adult/illegal materials will never get nominated.

So, starting with February 1st, I’ll be watching the activity here a bit closer and on March we’ll have our first “Reader of the Month” nominee.
