Affiliate
marketing agency bigmouthmedia announces Jason Dale and One Little
Duck as the winner of the B.A.B.E. Award.
The
bigmouthmedia affiliate blogging excellence award (the B.A.B.E.
award) was founded as a way to highlight the importance of the
affiliate community within the United Kingdom and to reward those
who contribute the most to it.
Affiliate
marketing is most productive and effective when affiliates
are empowered to contribute significantly and safely to merchant
sales. Successful affiliates are rewarded with commission on sales,
leads and actions but bigmouthmedia launched the blog competition
to extend the reward structure to those affiliates who help others.
Jason
Dale’s One Little
Duck blog was first nominated by the affiliate community –
receiving nominations through the affiliate agency’s voting
form and mentions on Twitter - and then selected as the final
winner by bigmouthmedia’s judges.
"One
Little Duck is a great blog," said Jen Brain, senior affiliate
manager at bigmouthmedia, "We thought Jason provided useful
reading for affiliates of every level. The blog is community focused
and integrates with Affiliates 4 U’s 'back me' voting system
for individual blog posts, MyBlogLog from Yahoo, the ShareThis
widget and sports a good collection of recommended Wordpress plugins."
On
winning the award, Jason Dale said: "I'm still in shock but
I am very pleased and truly honoured that One Little Duck has
been chosen as the B.A.B.E Award winner, especially as there are
many high quality UK affiliate bloggers. Thanks to the judges
and nominators, as well as to everyone who reads One Little Duck.
A big thanks also to bigmouthmedia for the awards initiative.
I hope it will become an annual event and that more affiliates
are encouraged to share their experiences with others via their
own blogs".
The
competition allowed affiliates to step up for nomination by talking
about the award on Twitter. Bigmouthmedia recorded several hundred
tweets and retweets about the competition as affiliates spread
the news.
