I want to thank everybody who supported my blog during the month of March whether it was by reading my posts and/or commenting and sharing these with your followers. I appreciate you all.
In particular I want to thank my top three commenting supporters: Ryan Biddulph, Ilka Flood and Jayne Kopp.
All three are accomplished industry leaders and I am deeply appreciative to all of them for their ongoing support.
Their blogs are all very different, but each is a treasure packed with value. Below I have highlighted a post from each that I particularly enjoyed reading during March. I’d like to urge you if you have not yet visited their blogs, to do so soon.

The Benefits of Being Featured Here
Besides the obvious link back to your blog post, it’s another place for you to be seen.
As attraction marketers we want to pop up wherever and whenever we can.
If you would like to be featured for April, all you have to do is visit and comment on posts published here more than anybody else during the month ahead.
Edify Your own Blog’s Supporters
Install a plug-in like the one I use, ‘Top Commentators Widget’, which will keep track of who is commenting on your posts.
Adjust the settings to reset at the end of every month and then don’t forget to check who your top supporters are before the new month rolls over so that you can honor them in a post like this.
Be Happy!

Welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy your visit. May I suggest you...
I’d love to get featured on your blog during the month of April. The only negative thing that may stop us from collaborating is that my blog is written in Swedish, and I suppose you wouldn’t understand the content of it — regardless of using Google Translate or not.

Oh dear Nabil…. yes my Swedish is very lacking I’m afraid but who knows I may have other readers here who may understand Swedish.
I appreciate your visit and regardless of which if you were a top commenter I would hightlight you as usual.

Hi Marcus!
Great post…Jayne is showing up everywhere! Usually a girl that gets around is not a positive thing, but in her case getting around to be top commentators on all these blogs is so impressive!
Wowie! Awesome of you to highlight everyone!!!

Marcus, aloha. So appreciate this idea of thanking your top commenters. You definitely have some great ones.
It seems that no matter where I am, on a blog, facebook or twitter, there is Ryan supporting, promoting or encouraging someone. He is a one person cheerleading squad. What a heart he has.
Interestingly enough, I just connected with Ilka this past weekend. Her insightful comments were on so many blogs that I read that I thought “I better get to know this lady.” When I went over to her blog, I knew I made the right decision. It will truly be a pleasure getting to know her through her blogs and reading her comments.
Now, Jayne, of course, I already knew was amazing. In fact, Marcus, I have 20 things I could tell you about Jayne that you probably don’t know. In fact, did you know . . .
Kudos to you and your top commenters. What wonderful reading material they enjoyed this past month. Take good care, Marcus. Aloha. Janet

Hi Janet,
You are right about Ryan. I sometimes wonder if he ever sleeps!
Ilka is just lovely and I am pleased that you have had a chance to visit her blog and get to know her better too now.
Ah so Jayne has some secrets other than being good at getting around?? Ha ha … Maybe she has been going to the same school as Ryan?
Jayne is a gem and isn’t it awesome that we have all found each other in the huge blogosphere. The law of attraction at work!
I appreciate you Janet as you are also truly one of the most genuine and generous people I have met online. Thanks for your ongoing support.

WOW Marcus… I am so honored and pleased to have been featured in this post. I didn’t realize I had dropped in on you so often, but when you really enjoy great content and like the person writing it, it is not work, in fact, it’s my pleasure to drop by and learn from my wonderful and precious cyber friends!
I had to laugh out loud at Heathers comment above. I’d never been referred to as “a girl who gets around” before… I guess it’s true what they say… there is a first time for everything!
Thanks so much Marcus. I always enjoy having a nosey and learning from your experiences!

Hey Marcus,
Congrats to all three! I know Ryan and Ilka well. Excellent individuals. I dont ‘really’ know Jayne but her name keeps popping up. Am I still online?
Must give her a surprise visit then.
I must up my game too in commenting, you know. Been a lit slow here, but I’ll catch up. Ha ha.
Take care and looking forward to April end!

Hi Marcus,
Thank you very much for highlighting me as one of your Top Commentators for March! I’m deeply honored! And I’m in such great company. Congratulations to all!
You are absolutely right, it’s not just about the backlink but also about being “seen” everywhere and I can prove it. I met a lovely lady named Janet last week because she had seen my name around the blogoshpere.
Again, thank you, Marcus! I appreciate you!

Hi Marcus, it’s great that you featured your top commenters in this post. I have also used the Top Commenters plugin because I believe in rewarding my commenters and for giving them more exposure. I have said many times before that blogging is about collaborating and I personally think the blogging community is full of givers!

Hi Marcus,
Some great peeps popping up at the top! This certainly seems like a good strategy to bring in a little ‘healthy competition’ to your blog commenting and stimulate more discussion.
With the added benefit of dofollow it’s really worth it for your visitors to share their thoughts and join the conversation.
All the best,
