Awards? Where are the award?
Well, this section was used to be fully of awards, hundreds of then. But I
decided to remove all.
What were these awards?
Internet awards are something easy to explain. You apply for the awards,
the award's judges visit your site (most of the time, some don't), and,
if they think your site is good enough to get their award following
their criteria, they will send the award graphic to you. To know more
about the awards community and it expressions, check the Glossed Over Glossary
So,
why did I removed the awards?
Before answer this, I have to tell why I decided to apply for awards in
the first place. There are some reasons: many awards graphics are
beautiful, I get links, awards increase the search engines ranking, etc.
But the main reason is to have the quality of this site recognized by
honored award programs. The problem is, after know better the awards
community, I realized that 95% of the award programs aren't honored.
Most of then are quite amateurs and give awards for copyright violators
and bandwidth stealers. Even worse, many of the Award Programs are
copyright violators themselves and stole things from each other. And the worst thing is that the
Award Organizations, don't give a damn for
copyrights. So, at the end, it wasn't a honor to get the same award that
copyright violators and bandwidth stealers also get.
How
did I know so well the awards
community?
I ran myself an Award Program for 18 months and, during this time, I had
the opportunity to know the awards community very well inside. You can
