Top Virtualization 2013 voting for 2013 just started. The event is organized every year by Eric Siebert from vSphere-land.com. My blog – ESX Virtualization is an Independent source of daily virtualization content. I'm writing mostly oriented for SMBs with my preference for VMware virtualization and vSphere.
I post how-to articles to help other admins, and also other news about other software products which I find valuable for small business and people starting with VMware virtualization. The website is up and running since over 5 years… Bellow some popular content from 2012…

ESX Virtualization updates frequently. Some 374 posts were published with also two guest posts from Paul McSharry and Jose-Luis. This experience can be renewed and I can offer a guest post spot in 2013 to any of my readers with enough IT and writing skills. If you're starting with a blog and want to get more traffic back to your blog from your profile, I can consider having you as a guest writer.
My blog remained highly visited during 2012 with 1 727 557 page views. Almost daily blog schedule has been maintained with many how-to and step-by-step articles and also my VMworld 2012 Barcelona coverage. If you feel that my blog should be listed at one of the Top positions at vSphere-Land, just vote for ESX virtualization, vote for vladan.fr !
I provide unique content with my own screenshots. If I quote part of other's article, there is always the source link. If I'm getting inspired by someone's work and you feel that I should give credit, don't hesitate to get in touch. Scrapers and copiers are people who I don't like. On a daily basis I fight people who steal my content (or even the whole site !) so that's why I'm Watermarking almost all my screenshots.
