Of some awards, I am more proud of than others. This one falls in the second
category. Majon does not give a link back to my site: that usually costs $599,
but because of the award the fee was reduced to $99. Hm.
.
This was given to the webpage with the rules of chess.
These pages also made it to U.S. television - they were mentioned in a program called Cyberlife (I'm told.)
A number of reviews of the website have appeared, amongst others in:
| Date | Name | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
Fergus Duniho  | None | James Spratt complained about the Majon award on another page. Until just now, you couldn't add comments to this page, because it wasn't in the database. So I just added it to the database before adding my comment here. Majon offers two awards. One of these awards can be given by anyone to anyone. In fact, I could award it to my own site. It's basically a pseudo-award anyone can pin on his site when it hasn't actually been recognized by others. This so-called award is identified in some of the graphics for it as the 'Web Select Award'. That's what the Majon award on this page is called. The other award is called 'Majon's Most Prestigious Award'. We apparently don't have that one. It is the one they give out with some degree of discrimination. I did not see a single link to any site that had won either award. I suppose no one is stupid enough to pay mega-bucks for a link on this marketing website. |
