Glad I found this. It’s not just the lawyers getting these awesome contacts. They’ve changed their tactics a bit (wasn’t offered an awesome badge or anything), now they’re letting you know it’s a big honor to be considered for inclusion on their site, an offer that won’t be repeated. Submit your info (and place their code on your site) for consideration as a listed resource on their site. After getting suspicious and turning them down the entire tone changed from superior, to please, to snide. Googled the IP address which led me to your post and others. Seems it’s happening to Teachers, counselors, and people like myself (My blog is about eating disorders).
Received another email today from another one of their sites. Replied simply, “No thank you.”
Very tempted to grab your awesome medal to soothe my disappointment.

This is great advice! 100-200 clicks on the Medal of Awesomeness is the best SEO trick out there. Plus, this also helps ensure your medal stays in mint condition. Brilliant!

Thank you so much! I have replaced my title, logo and half of my actual blog entries with your Medal of Awesomeness. Please be sure to click through to my blog to make sure I am displaying it properly. You may need to visit 100-200 times before you start seeing it… if you have any problems please have a friend check 200 or so times also.

I started reading this post, and then got my supplies together to throw a big Pity Party (Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, a spatula, brand new bag of Double-Stuff Oreos, a Cosmo (the martini, not the mag) and my phat Welsh Corgi Phoebe) ’cause paralegals are treated like the red-headed stepchildren of the blawgosphere and we never get included in Top 100 Law Blog scams – maybe ’cause we’re not lawyers but still – and then I saw your Medal of Awesomeness and thought that it makes all those hours of blogging into the wee hours mainly so my mama can tell her friends I’m an author totally worthwhile, so I put back all of the Pity Party supplies, except for the dog and the Cosmo.
