I often wondered about those awards and why people have them plastered on their blogs. My best gift would be getting people to suscribe to my blog via linky followers, google or reader. I love getting comments. Comments are the best, because it means someone took the time to read what I wrote and thought enough to leave a comment. I wouldn't mind having my blog featured as a guest that would be kind of cool!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00234421029665169718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530912370451266175.post-55196922193047816362012-03-04T13:52:19.512+10:002012-03-04T13:52:19.512+10:00I just wanted to let you I added your button to my...I just wanted to let you I added your button to my blog and linked back to you.

I'm not big on passing them on either. And while I do think they have a little more merit than chain letters, I still choose to accept them gratefully and not pass them on. I have done so in the past, but I probably won't this time around. If I feel that a blogger "deserves" recognition, I will do so via email or in comments on their blog.Carahttp://www.thepickyapple.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530912370451266175.post-78053684724944954892010-07-14T09:11:29.313+10:002010-07-14T09:11:29.313+10:00I am totally with you on this, when I first starte...I am totally with you on this, when I first started blogging the awards were something on the lines of tell everyone something they don't know about you and pass on to 3 friends, which I can cope with but now you have to write out your whole life history and pass of to 74 others and say why you love them so much. So, I have gone award free too, nice as it is to get one, I much prefer a comment or two.jojoebi-designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17585345777385016260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530912370451266175.post-63414274295832118732010-07-14T08:21:03.171+10:002010-07-14T08:21:03.171+10:00I think I'll have to snag your button. :) I h...I think I'll have to snag your button. :) I have received 2-3 of these chain letter awards - and just smiled, and was thankful for the blog link. :) But this week - I got one from someone I REALLY admired - and somehow, the chain letter award had more merit. :) But - picking the people to pass it to . . . showed me how hard it is - this over that - so I passed it on to blogs that I wanted my readers to visit.<br />But then the flood gates were opened. & I got several more this week. They really do feel like chain letters. :) <br />Comments are my biggest reward - that an a button that actually comes with chocolate in the mail. :)Pebblekeeper ~ Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04792217890092486144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530912370451266175.post-38440295829335321802010-07-14T07:33:14.485+10:002010-07-14T07:33:14.485+10:00Thanks for the thoughts ladies. :)

While I do enjoy getting them, it feels sometimes like too much effort to put up a "thank you, let's pass the love" post. Essentially it's all marketing, and it's up to blog owners to decide whether you want to play this marketing game or not. I respect your opinion to opt out and a well thought out post.Natalie PlanetSmartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531558038661679151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530912370451266175.post-21808555872950275722010-07-14T02:11:46.614+10:002010-07-14T02:11:46.614+10:00I thought about that as well but didn't want t...I thought about that as well but didn't want to spoil the fun for those who love making up awards so I played along.

Whenever someone "gives" me one, I thank them politely for their kindness/thoughtfulness/etc. and thank them for reading my blog and that's it. I don't put them up or pass them along. It's the thought that counts. <br /><br />I think blog awards are kind of like receiving a gift you don't necessarily want, if you thank the person genuinely and appreciate that they took time to give it to you after the thank you note is written you are not under any obligation to keep it. : )pink and green mama MaryLeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961907935822653414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530912370451266175.post-16157041262930521942010-07-13T22:39:13.451+10:002010-07-13T22:39:13.451+10:00I agree that comments are the best awards a blogge...I agree that comments are the best awards a blogger can get!Deborah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992053244004086395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6530912370451266175.post-51598139787439953982010-07-13T22:28:12.916+10:002010-07-13T22:28:12.916+10:00I agree wholeheartedly, Kylie.
