Best Advertising Websites to be Named by Web Marketing Association

The Web Marketing Association is looking for the best advertising Websites in the world as part of their 17th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at the WebAwardWeb site. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including advertising, design and marketing web sites, based on the seven criteria of a successful Web site. The deadline for advertising web sites to enter to be judged is May 31, 2013.

All Websites are judged on seven criteria including design, innovation, content, technology, interactivity, copy writing and ease of use. Each WebAward entry in the advertising category is judged against other advertising entries in its industry category and then against an overall standard of excellence.

All advertising entrants benefit from receiving valuable feedback in terms of their specific scores compared against the average scores for their industry. They also may receive specific comments from the WebAward’s professional judging panel on their Web site development efforts.

Each year the Web Marketing Association names the Best Advertising Website based on the scores submitted by the competition judges.
