Vote Now: Rubber Chicken Award 2007 for the dullest and most tedious search blog post
I’m truly excited. Two of my pamphlets made it in The Rubber Chicken Award’s Top 10! That’s 50% success (2/4 nominated pamphlets), so please help me to make that 100%: vote for #3 and #4!
Just in case you, dear reader, are not a hardcore SEM addict who reads search blogs even during the holiday season, let me explain why a Rubber Chicken Award Top 10 nomination is a honor.
The Rubber Chicken Award honors the year’s most serious SEO research. Extra brownie points are given to the dullest draft and the most tedious wording.
Rumors are swirling that Google’s search quality spam task force has developed the complex RCAFHITSI©™ algopatent pending® which compiles and ranks search blog posts presented to Mike Blumenthals’s Rubber Chicken Award Jury:
- Bill Slawski
- Greg Sterling
- Rand Fishkin
- Danny Sullivan
- Matt Cutts (suspected final arbiter and extremely busy, so we don’t know whether he’ll show up or not)
Here is the cream of the crop of the search world, the 2007 Top 10 search blog posts nominated in the Rubber Chicken Award for the dullest and most boring/serious SEO/SEM article:
- Want traffic? Rank for High Traffic Keywords…
- We Add Words to AdWords… Google Subtracts them
- Why eBay and Wikipedia rule Google’s SERPs
- SEOs home alone - Google’s nightmare
- 13 Things to Do When Your Loved One is Away at Conferences
- SEO High School Confidential - Premiere Edition!
- The Sphinn Awards - Part I & -Part II.
- Top 21 Signs You Need a Break From SEO (2007 version)
- 10 Signs That You May Be a Blog Addict
- The SEO’s Guide to Beginners
- The Internet Marketer’s Nightmare
- Mission Accomplished—Top Ranking in Google
- Google Interiors - the day my house became searchable
I’ve selfishly marked the two posts you want to vote for. Because all nominations are truly awesome, just vote for everything but make sure to check “5” for #3 and #4:
Thank You, Dear Reader!
Update: I can’t post another voting whore call to action today, but of course I’d very much appreciate your vote in the Best SEO Blog of 2007 category at SEJ’s 2007 Search Blog Awards.

Next year, we should have a contest for the most egocentric, self-serving, attention whoring post of the year. I think you and I would have a good run at it.
You got me though, I didn’t have a call to action. 1 for you.
James, you’re absolutely right. The Interweb desperately needs a voting whore contest set up in a way that we win it. In the sense of this idea I’ve linked your “I“. And yes, I know that’s a poor call for action because 97% of all surfers won’t click on a linked “I”, but I fear that’s all I can do for you since I do want to win the darn thing.
You got my vote.
Thank you John.
These end-of-the-year mentions and nominations do make my day. Thanks guys!
[…] I’ve been inundated with “Best of 2007” SEO, SEM, and Search blogs and sites lists. Amazingly the only mention Google got was for […]
Seb ol buddy, I couldn’t bring myself to pine for votes; seems like there is way too much of that going on lately (ad nausea). It is though, an honour to be up for the class clown award with you. It is some rarefied air we are breathing brother.
..and hey, how come there are 13 posts in the Top 10 anyway?
Dave
Yep Dave, it’s a honor, and best of luck.
As for the 13 posts in the Top 10, try the mouseover events. 
Luck? Not sure, I know a few of the judges, lol. Must have been having pity on me there. It it’s fun to see what people think one’s best work does as opposed to our own subjective views….
Been a fun year.. more to come I am sure - Happy New Years to ya :0)
L8TR - Dave
Dave, just post more utterly serious rants and we might get a Crabby SEO Rant Award next year, of course with a SE bashing and arguing category mounted to /dev/null. Happy new year to you too!
Dull, boring - did someone call me?
Sebastian you got my vote man. Well worth it with what you write about on this site. Keep it up for the new year man, I am sure we will be voting for you again next year for other blog awards.
Steve
Thank you Steve, and happy new year!
