Marketing Sherpa is running their third annual blog awards this week with voting ending next Monday. Categories range from general marketing to PR to search marketing. They’ve added podcasts as a category this year but their nomination process was a bit under the radar unless you subscribe to one of Marketing Sherpa’s newsletters.

Check out the voting form to see if any of your favorite blogs are listed. You can rate any or all blogs as “Excellent”, “not bad”, or “blah”.

Since I work with search engine optimization and marketing, I’ve listed below all the blogs in the “blogs on search marketing” category. You can rate all or some of the blogs rather than just picking one blog in each category:

* Top Rank - Please vote for our blog!
* SEO Book
* Search Views
* Search Engine Roundtable
* Search Engine Lowdown
* iBlogMarketing
* SEO Speedwagon
* Kieden Blog
* Kelvin Hui
* Make Easy Money with Google and Adsense

There are several blogs here that I had not heard of before, which is the nice thing about these sorts of “contests”. With the survey mixup earlier this week and changeover to a new system, the voting has been extended until next Monday.

If you haven’t voted already or if you had difficulties earlier please take a moment to rate your favorite blogs.
