Blogger Appreciation Day - Some Link Love For You
Written by George Manty · April 14, 2008
I just found out about something Darren Rowse started today that he is calling “Blogger Appreciation Day“. I found out because I was at the top of Chris Garrett’s list (from leaving the most comments on his blog since it began).
My list is not quite 100 people, because I had to remove a few that no longer exist and there were some duplicates with slightly different URLs. Here is my list of top commentators over the years:
Amanda
Garry Conn
Leroy Brown
Trent Brownrigg
Andrea Yager
Matt Tutt
Rob Stgeorge
Matthew
Wendy Piersall
cooliojones
Monika @ The Writers Manifesto
MamaDuck

Thank you so much for contributing and reading this blog over the years. I really appreciate you.
For those interested in creating a similar list, I used Chris Garrett’s method of creating this list:
If you want to see who your top 100 commenters are, run the following SQL on your database:
SELECT CONCAT('<a href=',`comment_author_url`,'>',`comment_author`,'</a>') as commenter
FROM `wp_comments`
GROUP BY `comment_author_email`
ORDER BY COUNT(`comment_author_email`) DESC
LIMIT 101
I do appreciate everyone who has commented on this blog, and I also appreciate those of you who haven’t. As Darren suggests, I will be sending out emails later today and probably tomorrow to let even more of you know that I appreciate you.
May God Bless You All!
I’m not a top commenter, but thank you for your sick blog!
Thanks for the appreciation George, appreciated :).
@GreekMooMan
Thanks for the kind words.
@Daniel
You are welcome. Hope all is well with you. It’s been a while since we have chatted… This post reminded me to get in touch with you and a few others…
I’m actually impressed by this list. Thank you George, what great idea.
If I only knew how to do this SQL run on my database.
@Monika,
Glad you liked the list. Back in the day there were a few people who are now quite popular that I became friends with and left comments on my blog regularly. The list didn’t include everyone though. I thought about making it spit out everyone who has ever commented. Maybe I will do that in the near future… it would be interesting to see the whole list…
> If I only knew how to do this SQL run on my database.
Maybe I should write a step by step guide for that when I get a chance… it’s not too complicated, but it helps if you know how to access your SQL database with whatever program your host provides.
I just realized something…
A lot of the people who are my top commentors over the years are also people I met in the same place. I might write about that later in the week. I am pretty busy tomorrow…
I am glad I have a day of honor. I am just trying to make money online. I thought to “make money online” would be easy but it take alot of hours hard work and education.
Thanks for the appreciation George, I appreciate it :p
thanks for the mention, i mentioned you on my latest post
