I was checking my web tracker logs and saw a few hits from this page. It looks like I’m nominated on this German website in the category “Most Valuable Business Website”. Although I’ve never heard of this website createordie.de before it’s an honor to be nominated :) I’m there along with some very popular websites.
I’m not sure what the prize is – or if there is a prize… but if you want I would appreciate it if you could cast a vote my way :) Just click here and select the radio button where it says “My Most Valuable Site” below my site (www.hannesjohnson.com), scroll down and click the button that says “Jetzt abstimmen”. You have until April 24th to vote – but please vote right now while it’s fresh on your mind.
OK, I was checking the site again a little better and it looks like this is a site for a conference in Germany and according to this page the first prize in the business category is 5.000 € and an advertisement in “brand eins” (which I believe is a magazine). 5,000 Euros is about 7,700 USD so that’s quite a lot of money – what are you waiting for: go vote for me! ;)
If I win I will most definitely have a very impressive contest with lots of prizes here on this blog :)
By the way, do you want more contests on this blog? Because a couple of days ago I got a proposition from a guy that wanted to sponsor a contest on this blog. What do you say? More contests? – Let me know in the comments, also let me know if there are any specific contests you are interested in (like, subscribe to the RSS feed to get an entry, solve a puzzle, etc…) and if there are any prizes you prefer (gift certificates, PayPal payment, magazine subscriptions, iPod or something physical, etc…) – also let me know if you voted for me in this contest and I’ll give you featured link here in the sidebar for a month – but only the first 10 (maybe more) to comment [just let me know in the comment what anchor text and URL you want me to use].

Had something similar happen for one of my sites awhile back. On some Finnish site one of our sites was voted Best Something. I say “Best Something” because we never did figure out what “Something” was in English. Google Translator and Babelfish were no help at all.
Anyways, went and voted for you :)
“Danke für Ihre Stimme, wollen Sie auch
am Gewinnspiel teil nehmen?”
I used to know German. But I have no idea if that means my vote was successfully counted, or what.

Thanks for the vote – I’ve added your link to the sidebar :)
I took some German in school and I believe “Danke für Ihre Stimme” means “Thanks for your vote” and the rest means something like “do you also want to participate in a contest?”.

@Ian: Thanks for voting – I’ve added your link to the sidebar. Now there are 6 spots left ;)
No, I haven’t asked them – I think I will. It would be interesting to know why I’m on that list :)
