Well it’s certainly been a great run for the first ever Bennis Blogger Battle! As most of you following these past several weeks know, we’ve been running a friendly (but quite competitive) blogger battle where your guest blog posts have been featured one week at a time with the goal of trying to earn the most hits, likes, ratings and comments as possible in 7 days. Thanks to the wonders of WordPress analytics (and my obsession in checking blog hits), I’ve broken down the scores of each blogger to determine who earns this prestigious title and $25 Star Bucks gift card of course. With all interactions added together, the Official Bennis Blogger Battle Champion is…..
MARK MATHIA – Visit him here.

To everyone who competed in this blogger battle, I am truly grateful for the time and energy you put into creating such quality blog posts. I was proud to feature them on my blog and I hope they helped drive some traffic your way. For all of our fellow readers out there who were too timid to battle it out this round…there will be more! Until then, please take a moment to check out the competitors blogs and social media. They’re definitely a talented crew!
Looking to next week….
I’m back on my soap box again and boy have I missed the limelight! During these weeks off I’ve been working on a great line-up of blog posts to share with you. Stay tuned for posts from yours truly starting up again next Monday. Are you excited?!
