Sebastian’s Pamphlets

Today Loren asked for selfish nominations, thus everybody posts a call for action.
So did I:

• Best search related pamphlets
I hereby selfishly submit my blog.

To no avail:

Sebastian, we’re not going to have a category for Best Pamphlets, but good try

There’s no such thing as a Best Crabby Search Pamphlets category just because my blog would be the sole candidate? Ok, I understand that. Really. I didn’t even swear. Yet.

So here’s my call for action. Nominate your favorite blog (that’s mine of course!) in any of the following categories that match:

• Best SEO Blog
  You’d expect more marketing stuff from an SEO blog.
• Best SEM Blog
  You’d expect even more marketing stuff, as well as PPC and whatnot. I suck on both.
• Best SEO Plugin for Wordpress
  I never wrote a WordPress plugin. Actually, this year I hate WordPress because they messed up the database structure in version 2.3 without providing any documentation or at least a reasonable migration procedure. Also their coding standards suck ass and make me puke whenever I see WordPress code.
• Best Search Agency Resource Blog
  My employers don’t blog.
• Best Link Building Blog
  Link building pamphlets are rare nowadays.
• Best Social Media Marketing or Optimization Blog
  I don’t game social media.
• Best Local Search Blog
  I’m happy when I find my shoes before I leave the house, hence I can’t give any advice on local search.
• Best Video Search Blog
  I watch x-rated videos only. Probably posting geeky clips doesn’t qualify me.
• Best Mobile Search Blog
  When I’m on the road I usually search until I give up and ask a cabby for an escort. Cheating this way makes sure I’m not always too late, but doesn’t qualify me for mobile search consultancy.
• Best Google Blog Not Owned by Google
  I’m not in Google news.
• Best Search Engine Corporate Blog (owned by the search engines)
  Although I’ve developed a tiny search engine years ago, I fear that smutty results don’t count.
• Best Contextual Advertising Blog
  My organic traffic is cheaper, and probably as reliable as PPC campaigns.
• Best Affiliate Marketing Blog
  I sold two Seobook subscriptions recently, does that count?
• Best Search Engine Community/Forum
  I visit Sphinn and the Google Webmaster forum and never will launch a new forum again.
• Best New Search Engine of 2007
  See above.
• Best Search Engine Research Blog
  I revealed that Microsoft plans to relaunch Live Search as porn affiliate program, why eBay and Wikipedia rule Google’s SERPs, and more SEO research like that.
• Best Search Linkbait of 2007
  When I try it, folks bury it.
• Breakout Blog of 2007
  I’m blogging since 2005 but moved my blog away from blogspot this year.
• Best Search Conference Coverage of 2007
  I don’t even attend conferences.
• Best Search Conference Coverage in Photos
  See above.
• Best Search Marketing Facebook Group
  Facebook killed my account for spamming or so.
• Most Giving Search Blogger
  I can’t give away a fraction of Bill Slawski’s great insights.
• Best Independent Search Blog (not owned by media company or marketing agency)
  What does that mean? Ok, I’m in.
• Best Search Blog Post of 2007
  I wrote a dull book on redirects, and more.

Oh well. Instead of nominating my stuff better convince Search Engine Journal that they really need a Crabby Pamphlets Category. Or try Category #16 at Performancing.
