Don’t take our word for it. Photoshop guru Scott Kelby, Editor-in-Chief of Layers magazine, awarded T.O.P. his 2006 Scotty Award for "Most Interesting Photography Blog":

• We’re highly targeted: With more than three dozen expert contributors providing posts of wide-ranging interest to photographers, T.O.P. not only draws an enthusiastic and photographically knowledgeable audience, but a photographically influential one: the kind of people who others listen to.
• We generate constant traffic with daily content: Unlike many more static sites, T.O.P. adds content daily. There’s always something new for visitors to see. And whether they check in once a day or once a month, visitors keep coming back. Especially if your own site happens to be more static, an ad link on T.O.P. keeps your site in front of a large and active audience.
• We get much more traffic than the average blog: In our first year online, we published 846 posts, attracted 2,218,890 page views from all over the world, and set a 24-hour record for hits of 26,537. More than 150,000 people viewed our most-viewed page. We offer no guarantees, but you’ll agree: these are great numbers for such a specifically targeted site.
• We are a bargain! Try finding a newsstand photography magazine offering these kind of numbers for these kinds of prices. There aren’t any.
