It's long overdue, but we're going to start thanking our valued sponsors on the blog. We'd love to link to everyone that bought a sponsored headline but we're getting around 200 different advertisers a week, so that'd get a bit unwieldy. We'll be highlighting the 20 highest scoring sponsored headlines each week, along with some of our other advertisers and partners. This is the first time we're doing this, so we look forward to improving this weekly sponsor roundup based upon your insightful suggestions, advice, criticism, rants, and MS Paint drawings.
Of course, we'd love to see some more big brands step up and sponsor reddit, but looking at this top 20 list, we're especially appreciative that so many smaller outstanding companies (many of which are run by actual redditors) have chosen to support this community. Here are your top 20 sponsored headlines for August 6, 2010.
