The Alternative Search Awards

Damn, NickW used his time zone to best advantage and beat me to it. I was thinking of doing the same. Honest.

In short, SEW have proposed having search awards. There is much mirth to be had in proposing what the awards will be. I liked "Most Blatantly Derivative SEO...Blog". Heh.

How about:

The Holier-Than-Thou Award for Best Grandstanding Effort By A White Hat (Self-Nomination Only)
The Dark Side of The Force Award For Best Use of a Cloaked Site Generator (highly unlikely that the winner will front for this one)
The Skanky Link Award for Owner of the Site With The Most "Skanky" Links (In a bizarre twist, Google found themselves nominated)
The Shak Khan Award for Most Costly Hand Edit
The Woke Up in a Hotel Room with Ammon Johns Award (Mike Grehan a hot favourite)
The Most Drunk on Girly Drinks at a Search Conference Award (Grehan again)
The Silliest Flight Route Between London, Seattle & New Zealand Award (that would be me)
The Best Automated Content That Doesn't Look Like Automated Content Award

One could go on forever....
