If you haven’t heard about the SEMMYS before now, is that small business SEM guru, Matt McGee, just started the annual awards event honoring the great content produced across the search and online marketing industry. While reviewing the list of the best SEM blog posts from 2007, I remembered a few blog posts surrounding reputation management that I made sure where tagged in my del.icio.us account and would like to remind you to tag them as well. Be sure to look for Reputation-Watch on next year’s list!

Good luck to the finalists! We’ll be voting!
