Site of the Week

Just a quick question: What criteria are used to select the Site of the Week?

We don't have any specific criteria. Usually I just look for a clean well-organized website

Actually, here are things we look for:

- clean, well-organized as Andy said
- almost always Wisconsin-based (occasionally a national non-profit)
- fits our weekly theme for the Water Cooler News
- clients of theBubbler parent company, OnYourMark, LLC, often get a preference because we know them, and believe they're very good
- seasonal timeliness sometimes a factor
- personal choice of the WCN editor and/or publisher

Regards,
Keith

Members of theBubbler.com often get a preference, too!

Occasionally we've been persuaded to highlight a site by one of our Members. For example, aje - Amber - has added hundreds upon hundreds of links to our link directory. Amber often added one or a few dozen for a single category and when we saw all of those additions, we'd honor one of them as our Site of the Week.

Regards,
Keith

p.s.: Thanks, Amber!

If all other criteria for selection fail, we can always resort to the "dartboard" method! Just kidding! But sometimes it's hard to make a selection when there are so many excellent choices that could be made.

Perhaps we should encourage suggestions. I just don't want to disappoint when someone's suggestion isn't taken for any reason.

I would think at least a post count of 10-20 or so before you select a site of the week.

It's easy for someone to add a link and then advertise a couple times in the forums then leave.

That's not fair to others.

There's my 2¢

Ken - your new site up yet? Let us know when it is!

Many new sites of mine going up, and new client sites to promote.

Should be no shortage!

Keith
