SEW Awards Finalists Named

The editorial team here at Search Engine Watch is proud to announce the finalists for the 2009 Search Engine Watch Awards. We had a great turnout this year, with nearly 100 entries for the 14 categories.

We’ve winnowed down the entries to three finalists in each category. Once our judging panel completes their deliberations, we’ll announce the winners in each category at Search Engine Strategies San Jose.

Look for my smiling face, along with several of our SEW Experts, in Booth 327 of the Expo Hall. We’ll be announcing the winners throughout the day on Tuesday and Wednesday, August 11 and 12.

And so, without further ado, let me congratulate the 2009 SEW Awards Finalists:
