We’ve Been Nominated For The SEMMYs!
Saturday 12 Jan 2008
Exciting News from inside the SEOigloo Blog!
Our friend, Matt McGee of Small Business SEM has just launched a wonderful new group of awards for the SEO/SEM industry, The SEMMYs. The goal of these awards is to honor the very best blog posts that have been written during the past year in 15 industry categories.
I am just thrilled to discover that 4 of my articles from the SEOigloo blog have been nominated in 3 different categories:
Category: Local Search
Article: Google Reviews Review
Category: Small Business
Articles: Small Businesses Skip Page Rank Rollercoaster Ride
Thinking of Leaving eBay and Getting a Professional Website? Look Before You Leap!
Category: Online Marketing/General
Article: Seeing with Web Designer Eyes – 9 Evident Errors
The articles of 127 different bloggers have been nominated and the public is welcome to vote on the articles they like best. This data will then be used to narrow each category down to a few finalists’ posts and, in the end, a winning post in each category.
I’ll be delighted if any of my readers take the time to vote for one of my articles, but better still, I hope you will take advantage of the astounding library of extremely illuminating posts Matt has aggregated. Every category includes must-read information, in my opinion, and I am so happy to see the work of so many of my friends and colleagues being honored in the SEMMYs.
Every morning, after answering priority emails in my inbox, I turn to my feedreader, eager to visit the blogs of all of my favorite authors and discover what they are writing about that day. For so many of us in the SEO/SEM industry, this communication with our peers is one of the key strong pillars of our professional education, and I have learned so much from so many of the SEMMY nominees. Congratulations and good luck to each and every one of you. It’s an honor to be in your company.
Update from Matt: Public Voting Will Be Open As Of the Week Of Jan 21-25

"Not just designers, but innovators,
"The site you created is a real reflection of what I have to say about my
business. I so enjoy working with you as a team...you make everything easy.
I really appreciate all your tips of how to ease into the blogosphere and the
pointers of how to maximize FriedmanRealtor.com. If I do half of what you
recommended, I'll be eons ahead of where I was."
"Working around the challenges, coming up with creative solutions
and using best in class and state of the art web design principles, Solas
gave us much more than expected. If you are in a situation where you would like
to stand out as an exceptional company, Solas Web Design should be your
first call."
"My work and my business is better for having had the opportunity to
work with these wonderful people. This level of intuitive customer service
combined with state of the art work is rare and precious. I feel
fortunate to have found them."
Congratulations, Miriam! You are absolutely deserving of this honor. I am delighted – not just because you are such a fantastic writer, but because I think you’re the best-kept blogging secret on the web, and I hope you get a ton more traffic because of this.
Since I’m from Chicago, I’ll vote early and vote often! =)
Hi Lori -
Ha ha, early and often. I love it!
Looks like voting may not be opening up until next week. I’m still trying to get a handle on that.
Thank you, so very much, for your wonderfully kind compliments!
Miriam
Great idea, Lori. I’m a Democrat originally from Chicago and grew up under Boss Mayor Daley, so I’ll vote early and often too.
Miriam, great job! I love reading what you have to say. I remember most of the posts you were nominated for. It’ll be difficult to pick my favorite, but as of this moment I’m going with “Seeing with Web Designer Eyes – 9 Evident Errors”. Yes, I think that one is my favorite.
