This year, we’ve done things a little differently for the 2015 Indies Unlimited Excellence Awards. Through social media polling, we’ve come up with the finalists for each category. Voting to determine the winner for each category will commence at 1 PM US Pacific Time on February 1, 2016, and conclude at 5 PM US Pacific Time on February 19, 2016.
Winners will be determined by dividing the votes received (popularity) by the Alexa global traffic ranking (impartial industry statistics) as read on the morning of January 20, 2016. Alexa is the foremost internet traffic ranking service. A site’s Alexa ranking is an indication of the utility and presence of the site.
Winners for each category will be announced at 1 PM, US Pacific Time on February 22, 2016.
You may vote only once for one finalist in each category:

We are honored to be a finalist. Thank you!
Ugh this is so hard. 🙁
This was tricky in the promotions area as I use quite a number of sites, yet only a couple listed have worked for me. The others are, well, meh…
They wouldn’t have made the initial cut and certainly not the short list.
Also, some remarkable resource sites aren’t listed. Hmmm…
Guess I must have missed the memo for suggestions.
Still, it’s an interesting approach.
