10 Questions to Evaluate a Social Media ‘Expert’
Ian Lurie, Conversation Marketing | 7/21/09

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

4: What’s a social media campaign?

“Voting something to the front page of Digg using my proxy server and 35 computers”. Flee the scene, and get to a minimum safe distance as soon as possible. The Digg brigade may be on its way. Whatever you do, don’t hire them. While this is a valid tactic (I guess), it’s not a campaign. Nor does it generate long term results in most cases.

Runners-Up

The top two runners-up in public voting were:

  1. 5 Tips on Hiring and Getting the Most Value from SEO Consultants
    Lee Odden, Online Marketing Blog | 7/6/09
  2. Why 99%+ of Flat Rate SEO Services Are a Scam
    Aaron Wall, SEO Book | 8/4/09

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

Search Without SERPs: The Future of SEO?
Pete Meyers, User Effect | 9/9/08

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

As search marketers, it’s hard not to be a little worried by these recent changes – as a group, these advancements are undeniably game-changers and represent a significant learning curve. The important thing to remember, though, is that this evolution is not only good for users, it can be good for clients if we’re willing to adapt. SEO is a young field that is destined to break into niches and specialties, and how you best guide searchers to information will depend more and more on your clients and target industries.
