Are u nuts
We get it award to apple who has brought 500 million connected devices and has 400 million credit cards on file for new prospects for us that didn’t exist a year ago
We get it to Goldman Sachs who had the foresight in 2000 to register gs.com This wipes out all the domain flipper babble about vales of ll based on ll, and says that earning respect as a brand leader requires looking the part– you can do that with ten years and five billion in advertising or achieve the result overnight with a calling card and return email address that is distinctively smart on a .com mark
We get it to gate58 eating googles lunch on a prime spot
LinkedIn is the sleeper social network that has come very far and has 1000s of ricks boards and many other features
A place for mom Christian mingle shoe dazzle just a new twist on everyone else’s same thing- a memorable call to action offering a benefit to the reader and mark direct response tv ads with a simple hook and a personal story
Developer of the year Colin Pape guy gets little attention or credit but look at them now
About me launch rock sites up in seconds for dummies
Same for live bait turnkey sales pages
Also shout out to Andrew Warner who after mining the brains of top performers, as we did on domain success you have on tapes from traffic and Sherpa is doing on their site- turning guest generated content into courseware
Tia Wood
Thank you for the nomination. I definitely feel others were more qualified than me to be there. There are a lot of people I admire and respect on that list.
Danny Pryor
I am very humbled by this nomination. Thank you so much, and good luck to everyone.

@Rick,
Donuts deserves the”we DON’T get it” award! And a large one at that! Their large investment into the shark infested gtld waters was, in my opinion, sheer foolishness and I believe that a lot of investors are about to lose a lot of money as a result.
As Donald Trump said of Bradford Cohen when he screwed up on The Apprentice,”stupid stupid stupid!”.
One doesn’t need to be a psychic to see that the gtlds are going to all fall flat on their expensive faces. Kinda obvious, eh? What scintilla of evidence would make one feel otherwise?
If you do establish a”Clueless Award”, I nominate Donuts, but until then, they are not worthy of any honors in any domainer circles, let alone one from an established organization such as TRAFFIC.
Steve C
FYI.. MediaGuys.com is a team. No one person does the development and ideas are contributions from the team.
Thank you from Susan Foster, David Cheatham and Steve Cheatham, with all our partners.
