Welcome Me Back & Nuffnang APAC Blog Awards Update

It has been a whirlwind past few months… no, year! It has been so long since my last post while juggling the needs of Nuffnang Australia and our blogger community.

Latest update, since our Challenge 1000 campaign, we now have 1200+ Australian bloggers in our community with a 4 week network audience of over 1.6million visits.  We have garnered the full support of leading bloggers ranging from the influential Darren Rowse of Problogger, thought leaders like Laurel Papworth (who is just in another
stratosphere in social media thinking), and top bloggers such as the delightful Karen Cheng.

I’ve recently returned from our Nuffnang APAC blog awards where 60 category finalist (judged from 13,000 nominated bloggers) were featured and winners announced at the grand Pan Pacific ballroom. I’m proud to say Australia had 12 bloggers who made it to the finalist and of that, we manage to win 3 categories! Congratulations to Mr Gadget,
childhood101 and Lady Melbourne.  To even make it to the finalist was already an achievement in itself.

In addition to the blog awards, Pringles also ran a competition which Australian blogger Jimmy America came runners up.

The awards was followed by a full day tour of the city thanks to it’s tourism board Uniquely Singapore. Imagine 3 bus loads of visiting bloggers being driven to different tourist attractions.  The result. Google search brings 15,800 sites with the keyword “nuffnang uniquely Singapore”. We are still working on final blog post count and reach as the posts are still coming in.

If you are interested in coverage of the awards, please have a read of the post from our bloggers:
