It has been a while since there have been a reputable place offering "Awards" in the search community. Now, we have the US Search Awards backed by PubCon, Majestic SEO, SEMPO, and some other companies.

There is a long list of winners in several categories, but I am proud to be part of the Search Engine Land team that won for best search blog.
