		<description>Nothing wrong with asking for your friends and readers&#039; help.  Most of them are usually happy they can contribute something for their friends.  You need something, ask for it.  Your experience bears you out - you&#039;ve got a positive response.  If I were you, I&#039;d write a post and tweet about it/promote it.</description>

		<description>I think its a &quot;MUST&quot; for a blogger to let his readers know if he is nominated for any contest.... Not every reader is a twitter or Fb daily user ... 
The only way he might be able to know it... it through may be not even the RSS but the Email Newsletter he checks not even daily but Weekly....
His Vote is like his opinion thus just as valuable like other RSS or Fb, Tw Readers...

I never knew about Indibloggies.... I came to know about it from Labnol&#039;s latest post... Although I couldn&#039;t vote for him... but still the Post about the Vote Appeal counts.</description>

		<description>its is absolutely ethical, there is no harm in letting your readers know that a contest is running, just saw that techpp is also mentioned, however some other big guys are also on the list like labnol, so this competition is going to be tough, congrats for the nomination though :) hope you win,</description>

		<description>Its ethical. There is no wrong is sharing with the readers, if you are nominated for any contest. Doesn&#039;t that actually give an opportunity to do some thing for you? :)

Good Luck Harsh</description>

		<description>Hi Harsh,

from all the comments above, it seems it&#039;s very ethical and should be done to promote all blogs. This way, you could accomplish more in terms of awards and effort.</description>
