2005 Search Engine Journal Blog Awards

Many thanks to the readers and responders who nominated our blog as one of the top search engine optimization related blogs of 2005. In the end, we did not win however, we feel honoured to have been nominated and are pretty much pleased with the results. The winner of the category we were competing in was Google engineer SEOBook.com . To say Aaron is a nice guy is like saying Google is a rather popular search appliance. Last year, after the devastating December 26 tsunami, Aaron donated six week's worth of proceeds from the sale of his most recent book to tsunami relief efforts. I have seen enough posts authored by Aaron extolling the virtues of charity, service and common sense to tell me he is the real deal when it comes to helping others. That, in my books, is enough to make any person a winner. I have also read enough of his posts on SEO and SEM to know that not only is Aaron one of the biggest hearts in our industry, he honestly knows his source-code. Coming in third was another of the rock-stars of search marketing, StepForth Search Engine Placement Inc. Based in Victoria, BC, Canada, StepForth is the result of the consolidation of BraveArt Website Management, Promotion Experts, and Phoenix Creative Works, and has provided professional search engine placement and management services since 1997. http://www.stepforth.com/ Tel - 250-385-1190 Toll Free - 877-385-5526 Fax - 250-385-1198
