Pandia Awards 2004 Part 4

Best search engine discussion forum

Webmaster World rules supreme

Brett Tabke has managed to gather an impressive number of internet savvy search engine experts at Webmaster World, professionals as well as non-professionals.

This mix of highly competent people leads to a lot of interesting discussions with a wealth of interesting information. We gladly admit that some of the news messages found at Pandia has been triggered by messages found at WMW.

This is definitely the place to go to hear the latest rumors, fresh search engine news and detailed analysis of the latest trends.

For a while it seemed like some of the good discussions were in danger of being lost in endless discussions about the latest Google index update. We are glad to say that this does no longer seem to be the case.

The Webmaster World home page includes direct links to some of the most interesting news and discussions, making it easier to go directly to the best of the best.

The site's own search engine is not very efficient, though. We normally use Google to search the site, using the following syntax:

search keyword site:www.webmasterworld.com.

Highly recommended

There are actually quite a few search engine forums out there, so many in fact, that one might questions the need for all of them.

We have come to the conclusion that choosing the right forum is like finding a local pub or bar that appeals to you. These are after all places for friendship and networking.

Hence you may find a lot of useful information and advice at forums like High Rankings, I Help You, cre8asite and the mother of all search engine forums, previously named -- eh, well -- Search Engine Forums (now VP Forums.).

At all of these forums you will well respected experts contributing with insightful comments and recommendations.

Look out for...

When Search Engine Watch decided to establish a new discussion forum, search engine experts took notice. Would this become the forum that dethroned Webmaster World?

Well, that hasn't happened yet, but there is a lot going on under the various topics presented in this forum. The fact that Danny Sullivan, Chris Sherman and Gary Price take actively part does not hurt either.

Like webmaster world SEW Forums caters both to the need of researchers and marketers. The search engine marketing scene is dominating, though.
