Awards for the best website

[AMERICAR]

I am thinking of setting up an awards website for the
best sites on the net .. has that been done before.

Is it a good idea or is that not such a bright idea.

Any input would be appreciated.

Sounds like a good idea, keep updating it

Just show me 1, 2, 3, or any of the sites
that you consider to be the best.

On what parameters would you judge the sites?
Content
Usability
Design (multiple parameters here)
Navigation structure

People have strong preferences sometimes, how would you reconcile that?

It might turn out to be good idea if you can come out with something interesting.

btw...whats the revnue model gonna be?

Presentation is everything ....

Judge it ... i dunno looking for ideas on that.

Revenue ... Thats not the priority ..

Let the viewers decide on the top 10 sites by submitting them
and voting maybe.

Any input is welcome at this stage.

Voting sounds like a good idea..

I like the idea - and will do it myself sooner or later.

www.SelfPromotion.com has over 50 awards, and shows how to get more or create your own. It's not that easy but highly rewarding.

My problem with awards is that most webmasters that Really deserve them don't even try - so second rate sites sometimes win. My nomination for tons of awards and a case in point:

It's been done before.

The grandaddy of "best-of-the-web" awards are the webbys, considered the "Oscars" of the internet. They have a webcast awards show and the works.

Go to Yahoo and do a search on "web awards" (but DO NOT use the quotation marks). You'll see the dozens of sites that exist for this sort of thing.

All this doesn't mean you shouldn't go ahead with your plan, just that it's already a well-developed field, so if you decide to compete, you've got your work cut out for you.

Tnx.net.

Thx.net ... Namethink.

webbyawards.com ... has it covered by the look of it.

I dont agree with their winners list though.

The main reason awards are so popular is not due to a site being worth anything or even being able to get traffic from the awarder, but to get more and more places linked to your domain increasing link popularity.
