Best Marketing Web site of 2007 to be Named by Web Marketing Association

Posted on April 4, 2007 Written by Bill Hartzer

The Web Marketing Association has announced the call for entries for its 11th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at Web Award Web site. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including marketing web sites, based on the seven criteria of a successful Web site. The deadline for marketing web sites to enter to be judged is May 31, 2007.

“The marketing industry is very competitive when it comes to Web development and companies can benefit from the independent evaluation of their online efforts,” said William Rice, President of the Web Marketing Association. “In terms of marketing websites, judges are looking for sites that don’t just inform the visitor, but entertain them as well. According to the judges in years past, marketing websites can do this by increasing the level of interactivity with web visitors.”

Web sites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use.. Each WebAward entry is judged against other entries in its industry category and then against an overall standard of excellence.

All entrants benefit from receiving valuable feedback in terms of their specific scores compared against the average scores for their industry. They also may receive specific comments from the WebAward’s professional judging panel on their Web site development efforts.

Winners of a WebAward in the marketing category will also receive:

Image plaque or certificate of achievement
Increased visibility for their company
Marketing opportunity to promote the company website to the media
Links to your site from the highly ranked WebAward site to help SEO
Admiration of peers, friends and co-workers

Each year the Web Marketing Association names the Best Marketing Website based on the scores submitted by the competition judges. Recent winners of the Best Marketing Web site include:

2006 – Rare Method for Silvertip Resort
2005 – Nurun I Ant Farm Interactive for Nurun I Ant Farm Interactive Website
2004 – Verite, Inc. for Symantec Client Security 2.0 Channel Launch Kit
2003 – Zugara for The Getaway
2002 – Disc Marketing, Inc. for Disc Marketing Corporate Website

A complete list of past winners and the entry form for companies who wish to compete for 2007 honors can be found at the Best Marketing Web site page.

Using the quantifiable data collected from more than 15,000 Web site evaluations over the past decade, the WebAwards has defined and recognized industry-specific benchmarks for successful Web sites in each of the seven judging criteria and released an Internet Standards Assessment Report to detail the findings of the study. A copy of the 2008 Internet Standards Assessment Report, including details regarding the marketing industry, will be provided to all participants.

Judging for the 2007 WebAwards will take place in June through August, with winners announced in September. Judges will consist of a select group of Internet marketing professionals who have direct experience designing and managing Web sites with an in-depth understanding of the current state-of-the-art in Web site development and technology. Past judges have included top executives from leading organizations such as Organic, Inc., Ogilvy Interactive, Saatchi & Saatchi, Blattner Brunner, Comedy Central, Sun Microsystems, Refinery, Euro RSCG, EPB Interactive, New York Post Interactive, The Cincinnati Enquirer, J. Walter Thompson, Xerox, Art Institute of Pittsburgh, Modem Media, and Answerthink just to name a few.

The 2007 WebAwards are sponsored by the following leading organiztions: Burst Media, PRWeb, Misukanis & Odden, Small Army, SimpleFeed, ExactTarget, ad:tech conferences, NewsUSA, eComXpo, MediaPost’s OMMA conference, TopRank Online Marketing, Creative Chocolate Printing Company, OTOlabs, Internet World UK, Search Engine Strategies, Webmaster Radio, Rovion’s InPerson and eMarketer.

The Marketing Industry is sponsored by TopRank Online Marketing.
