I just noticed that MT was #3 on Podcast Alley under the business section!!!!

How embarrassing for this community when we have so many avid listeners.

Please join me in renewing our effort to vote every month to return to the #1 slot.

It really is the least we can do.

Thanks,

Mike

I have never been able to figure out how to vote for a podcast on the Podcast Alley site itself. I have been dependent on the podcasters putting vote buttons on their websites.
Do you know how? Please share! Thanks!

First off, congrats on the effort so far, it is back up to #1 for May!  Also, it is ranked #70 overall for the month.  Hopefully it keeps climbing.
Here are some detailed instructions:
First go to the site and search for Manager Tools in the box on the upper left.  I think this URL will accomplish the same thing:
http://www.podcastalley.com/search.php?searchterm=manager+tools#
Then click on the Link for Manager Tools link which will expand to show a description of the podcast and three options :
[Get Podcast] [vote] and [Details]
Click on vote and it will prompt you to login or enter an e-mail address.  If you choose to enter an e-mail address, their system will send you an e-mail with a link you have to click to complete the voting process. 
If you plan on doing this every month (hooray if the answer is yes) then go ahead and register with podcast alley.  Then you can just login and click vote.
Let me know if you have trouble and I will try and help.
Thanks,
Mike

And FYI, Podcast Alley is a monthly voting process. 
The podcast awards (http://www.podcastawards.com/) are annual and the voting is not until September.

Yes, I was thinking of the annual thing. I'm going to set an iCal reminder to do the monthly one too.

omigosh that is too easy. I guess I was looking for a special voting page. Sometimes my brain just does NOT work the same way as other people's.
Thanks!
