It's “The Most Interesting Photography Blog”
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: Currently we have received more than 16.4 million visits (June 2007 through the end of 2009). To be counted, visits must be to the main blog page, of more than 30 seconds duration, and with a two-hour reset (that is, two page views from the same visitor are not counted twice unless they are more than 2 hours apart). Our current daily average is more than 20,000 direct visitors and 16,000 people (give or take a few hundred) reading through full feeds. That counts weekends, when traffic is lower; the average of direct visitors for weekdays is 22–24k.
• We are a bargain! There just aren't any comparable newsstand photography magazine offering these kind of numbers for these kinds of prices.
