Loren Baker’s Search Engine Journal has recently taken nominations for best search marketing blogs in a variety of categories. I am happy to say TopRank’s blog, aka “Online Marketing Blog” has been nominated in 4 of the 19 categories.
Thank you to friends and readers of Online Marketing Blog for nominating us! You can now vote for TopRank’s blog (5 for best!) in the following categories:
Best Search Conference Coverage – Category #16As an official media sponsor for blog coverage of: SES, ClickZ, SMX, Pubcon, SIS and eMetrics plus 14 search, PR and marketing conferences blogged in 2007, TopRank’s Online Marketing Blog is against exceptionally tough competition but we hope the work our team has put into providing coverage of sessions, photos, videos, after conference parties and interviews was helpful enough to rate a 5. Best Search Conference Coverage in Photos – Category #17
With over 1500+ conference photos in 2007, Online Marketing Blog has taken and promoted it’s share of conference photos. Here are a few links for your SEM conference viewing pleasure: SES San Jose, SES Chicago, SMX Social Media, SIS Utah, PRSA, DMA07, SIS Florida photos, SES New York Vintage Tub & Bath Party, General SES NYC photosBest Overall Search Marketing Blog – Category #3
This one was a big surprise with formidable competition for sure. We do certainly write about a variety of topics in the search marketing, social media and online PR categories. Don’t take my word for it though, they say links are like votes and there are at least 830,000 links that support this one. At least according to Yahoo Site Explorer. Most Giving Search Blogger – Category #19
I was very surprised to see “Lee Odden” in this list and really appreciate the nomination, but there are so many other super qualified people on this list. However, it’s Danny Sullivan and Barry Schwartz that stand out to me.
Be sure to visit Search Engine Journal and vote for TopRankBlog along with all your other favorite search marketing blogs. There are a variety of categories to choose from and I’ve listed the full survey below.
Voting began today and will run until January 4th, 2008 or so, after which Loren announces the winners.
