Congrats Ian Cleary, well Done!

Thank you so much Mitch.

I have such enormous respect for Social Media Examiner, its readers and the expert judges on the panel. I am quite amazed and proud to be on this list for the first time. Thank you to those who nominated me and everyone who has noticed and appreciated my very hard work all these years. I have never put a "badge" on my site before but I think this will be the first one because of all the amazing people who were behind it. Thank you so very much!

Well done Mark, delighted to be on the same list as you! It's people like you, Jay, Mike and others that inspired me to start blogging.

It's a pleasure to have SocialBro on the list with you Mark. I've found some good stuff on {grow} over the past few months, keep it up.
Andy

Congratulations, Mark! It will be fun to see the badge on your site :)

Congrats Mark! Well deserved!

Congratulations Mark! You deserve it.

Delighted to be on the list with all these great blogs!

You too Ian!

Congratulations Ian! It's good to see your blog here!

Thanks Cindy!

Wow, glad to see nice list here, where you can follow all social trends what's going on on which platform, etc...! Thanks for sharing!

So happy to see SocialBro in there along with some other blogs that I truly admire, an honour for our blog to be among such great company. Huge thanks to SME and the judges :-) Well done to the other winners!

Well done Andy and team!

My congratulations to all the winners. I started blogging back in 2006. I know how hard--and often thankless--it is to blog. Each of these winners are leading in our industry and deserve examination.

I don't get to read as much as I used to, so the greatest part of judging this was to read the incredible content that's out there. Congrats to all - very well deserved. You're all helping businesses succeed online - truly changing people's lives. Keep up the great work!

Thanks so much Douglas, SocialBro have even more in the pipeline. Looking forward to the next 12 months :-)

Awesome! Man, just amazing being on this list. And I love sharing that space with Ian, Mark and everyone else. Congrats all!

So impressed by you and Ian Cleary and Jenn Herman for repeat wins on this list! Well done Jon (again!).

Congratulations to all of the winners! It was so awesome to have the opportunity to go through the list of nominees and it was truly a tough decision. It's very encouraging to see everyone putting out so much great content on the web! Honored to be a judge, and thank you again to all of the participants!

Thanks so much, Pat! Love what you do, making this honor even more special.

Thank you Pat, I'm a bid admirer to what you do. Ian

Thanks for putting SocialBro in there Pat, all the best :-)
Andy

Thank you so much Pat. I'm a huge fan and follower of SPI and truly appreciate this honor!

Thanks so much Pat - when I saw the Top 20 I was thinking, wow, the judges have a big job this year. It's a huge "honor" (enough for me to even use the American spelling hehe) to be listed here, as I have learned so much through your blog, podcast as well as from Social Media Examiner. Excited to be flying the flag for the Aussies (of which you are an honorary one by the way after last year!). Have a great weekend!

Congrats to all! Well done for all that great content.

Thanks so much to our managing editor, Jess Ostroff, our contributors like Jess Gioglio, our terrific cast of guest bloggers, and to all of the Convince & Convert readers who have supported the site for so long. Very gratifying to be almost 7 years into this blog, and still be recognized in this way. Humbling. Thanks to the judges, too, and to the others recognized on this list. I am happy to call many of them my friends.

I've been reading C&C a lot lately, always pushing with high quality content. It's an honour that SocialBro is on the list with you.
Cheers!
Andy

This announcement broke the website! Congrats to all the winners! <3

Fantastic line up - congrats to all!!! Love seeing my fave Buffer at #1 spot, hehee!! :)

Congratulations to all the winners! Specially my friends and favs: Jon Loomer, Ian Cleary and Donna Moritz. You guys deserve it!

Thanks Antonio

Wow, what a huge, huge honor and privilege it is to see Buffer Social listed here in such amazing company! Thanks so much; Kevan and I are beaming! :)

Well deserved Courtney.

Love it!! Awesome list. But where is quicksprout??!

Great company on this list. Excited and honored to see Simply Measured among em!

Wow, what an incredible group of blogs here! Congrats to all! Thank you so much, Cindy and team, for the amazing honor. Very happy to know that Buffer content has been helpful to so many, just as the content from SME & all the great blogs here have been so helpful and inspirational to us!

Kevan, your posts are legendary. I have followed Buffer since Leo was guest blogging like a champion and the posts get better and better. You are flying the flag exceptionally well. Honored to be on any list with you guys!

Thank you so much and congrats to all the top 10 winners - I am in exceptional company. I was more than humbled just being in the finals the past couple of years but this means a lot ...especially with the top 20 blogs this year - the judges had a tough task! And wowzers... to even sit anywhere near Mark W. Schaefer, Jay Baer and Buffer (from the days of Leo to now Kevan, their content is mindblowing) - 3 blogs I hugely respect. And Mr Ian Cleary ..that's a hat trick to you my friend - 3 in a row! So well deserved and LOVE seeing Rebekah's blog recognised. She has one of the best social media blogs out there.

Thank you Donna Moritz | Socially Sorted - you are an inspiration!

Thanks Donna!

Congratulations Rebekah!!

Thank you DebsSweet!

I loved Jenn's Trends blog! Thanks!

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy it :)

Some new ones here that I need to check out! Also a fan of PostPlanner, Simply Measured, and MyEmma :)

To say I'm excited about this would be an enormous understatement. Thank you to Cindy, the SME team, and the judges. It's an unbelievable honor to sit next to so many bloggers I have respected and admired for so long. My blog will be wearing that Top 10 badge with pride! Congratulations to everyone!

So well deserved Rebekah.

And for you as well Ian Cleary!
