Are You a SOB? Successful and Outstanding Blogger

I first came across this word SOB when I saw a logo on a blog titled “Official SOB” and then I saw another logo and another. I was tempted to visit successful-blog.com to find out what SOB is all about…

What is a SOB? Well SOB is an acronym for Successful & Outstanding Blogger and it is so popular that deserved mention in the giant blogging glossary too. The SOB headquarters are at successful-blog.com run by the talented blogger Liz Strauss.

“Every week I make copies of their logos and add them to the list of Successful and Outstanding bloggers who understand that the strength of the blogosphere comes from relationships, interconnectedness, and community. Not all of these folks have all of the links you might expect, but they will, because they show the key traits of a succesful blogger.

Soon enough it became apparent that having a blog didn’t need to be a criteria either. Some of the best ideas came from blog readers who added value to the dialogue, but had no blog to bring the conversation back to. I felt strongly they should be included as SOBs too.”

You will find tips there of how to become a SOB too. Check out the SOB Directory which “presents the official badge of achievement of SOB to all who earned the right to call themselves Successful and Outstanding Bloggers”. I am thankful to Liz to honour me with a SOB award too!
