Blogs & Blogging – 2010 Winner

]]> 2010 SEMMY WinnerLet’s skip the corny, canned jokes and the awkward moments at the podium and just open the envelope, shall we? Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the 2010 SEMMY Award in the Blogs & Blogging category is … drum-roll, please …

Guest Blogging: The Ultimate Guide
Glen Allsopp, ViperChill | 12/21/09

Congratulations to our winner! Here’s a choice bit from the winning post:

Traffic and links are great, but they’re only second compared to the potential of getting new devoted blog readers. Devoted readers talk about you, they share your content, and they buy your products. If you want to make a living blogging, then you must realise your subscribers (the real people behind your site) matter a lot.

Runners-Up

The top two runners-up in public voting were:

  1. 10 Things to Do Before Launching Your Blog
    Lisa Barone, Small Business Trends | 10/27/09
  2. Practical Guide to 404 Error Pages: What WordPress is Missing
    Joost de Valk | 11/3/09

The winner and runners-up are welcome to grab the appropriate badge — we have a badge for both winners and runners-up.

WordPress SEO
Joost de Valk, Yoast | 6/10/08

Congratulations to our winner! Here’s a choice bit from the winning post:

In my opinion, auto generating descriptions is a load of bull, most plugins pick the first sentence, which might be an introductory sentence which has hardly anything to do with the subject, or another sentence with a keyword in it, which might be completely wrong to pick as description. Thus, the only well written description is a hand written one, and if you’re thinking of auto generating the meta description, you might as well not do anything and let the search engine control the snippet.

Runners-Up

The top two runners-up in public voting were:

  1. TheLisa: Bringing Your Voice To Your Blog
    Lisa Barone, Search Engine People | 11/12/08

The Blogger’s Guide to SEO
Aaron & Giovanna Wall, SEO Book | 11/25/07

Congratulations to our winner! Here’s a choice bit from the winning post:

If another blog links to you, how much should Google trust that link as a vote to help your site rank better? Do any popular and trustworthy blogs link to that site? How many people subscribe to their RSS feed?

While services like Bloglines or MyBlogLog are able to answer some of these questions, Google can answer them more precisely than any other company.

  1. Must-Read Search Marketing Blogs
    Lee Odden, Online Marketing Blog | 1/3/07
