Seit 2008 werden jedes Jahr in verschiedenen Kategorien die besten internationalen (also englischsprachigen) Artikel und Blog-Posts des Vorjahres im Bereich Suchmaschinen-Marketing ausgezeichnet. Abgeleitet aus dem Begriff “Search Engine Marketing” nennen sich die begehrten Preise “SEMMYS”. Sie sind eine Art “Oscar” für Autoren, die sich mit der Suchmaschinen-Marketing-Industrie befassen.
Jetzt wurden die Nominierungen für die SEMMYS 2010 auf www.semmys.org bekannt gegeben. Die Nominierungen in den interessantesten Kategorien möchte ich Euch hier vorstellen. Genug Lesestoff für ein paar lange Winterabende.
