Bec,

I used to care a lot about the awards...and was always very pleased to get nominated for things like Cybersockets Best Fetish Site, and GayVN's Specialty Video of the year...

However, at the AVN show in Vegas last year I was told point blank by a ad rep sitting behind a rather well known magazine table that I did't spend enough on ads to ever win...so now I don't give a shit one way or the other.

I can tell you though that being nominated did nothing that I could see for increased traffic or sales...but I can't tell you about winning...because I don't spend enough on ads to find out.

Sometimes I still put up my cybersocket button...but I haven't yet this year...and may not. I think I am bitter. (And for the record it was not Cybersocket that told me I did not spend enough to win...although I was once told that by my old Cybersocket ad rep that with a certain ad buy I could be promised a nomination...not sure if he was joking or not.)
