Nominate a red crab in the 2007 Search Blog Awards!
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.
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.
Update December/28/2007: YAY! Thank you all! Now you can vote for my pamphlets in the “Best SEO Blog of 2007″ category at the SEJ Search Blog Award 2007 contest. Here are the candidates:
It truly is an honor just to be nominated together with these great SEO bloggers.

I nominate you for best Sui Generis Search blog. That’s a fancy legal term I learned that means ‘one-of-a-kind’ and I think it encompasses the whole crab/pamphlet/coding thing well. I mean, I just referred a prospective client to you for info on 301ing an old forum to their new one ;). If not, then best Technical search blog.
Gab, thank you for the kind nomination and the referral.
