My thoughts on web site awards |
|
The Five Star AwardsThese are the awards that all serious web page writers want to win. If one of the sites you have created earns a Starting Point Hot Site award then you could and should boast about it! The Four Star AwardsThis type of award exists in greater numbers so not surprisingly each award gets far fewer entries and hence is easier to win. However most of awards have high standards and if no site is of the required quality then no award is made. The Three Star AwardsBy now we are getting to the awards that are primarily set up by people wanting to attract visitors to their own site by including a hyperlink in the awards graphic. Nevertheless some of these awards can be surprisingly difficult to win - unlike The Two Star AwardsThese are given out by webmasters who have little or no interest in the award other than as a means to attract visitors to their own site. Virtually everybody who applies will win! The One Star AwardsThe largest group - by far - these awards will impress the unwary or the novice. Winning should be regarded as fun rather than as a measure of your genius. Rather like the so called degrees from diploma mills these awards can be obtained with minimal effort. SummaryThere are simply far too many sites offering awards for various combinations of content, design, functionality, looks or quality. As a result I have just listed the sites that identify what is available rather than the individual sites themselves. Focus Associates WebSpecialty Virtual Promote Awards |
