The Webby Awards are they Worth It?
The Webby Awards keeps sending me emails asking me to submit our website again this year. “Hurry, the 2009 deadline is October 30th”! Yes, last year we submitted SpellSpace.com. We created a login for the Webby judge to evaluate our website. After months of waiting, we finally got notice that we didn’t win anything. Nothing, there goes $735 for submission under 2 categories. Not even a mention about SpellSpace on their website. Do a search on their website and you get nothing. But, what I find even more unbelievable is that the Webby Awards judges NEVER accessed our website. The last IP to access and log on to our website under the webby log in was our IP address, back in October 2008. There you have it. Want to waste your money, then submit your new up-and-coming website to the Webby awards. The only way you will get any recognition from the Webby awards is if you are already popular and known. That way it ensures they get the press they need to scam more Web entrepreneurs.
The Webby Awards Scams New Websites
In contrast the Web Marketing Awards even sent us information about what the judge considered in judging our site. The judge didn’t know anything about the category or subject but he tried and provided good feedback.
What a disappointing waste of money! If nothing else, use the Webby Awards for inspiration. http://terabuckley.wordpress.com/
