The judges will once again review these and make a final determination as to just how rank they are. You may be able to unduly influence the outcome (although a good solid link might do the same :), see Matt’s take on this) and identify the people’s choice award by voting here.
And the Top 10 Finalists are:

[…] the judges saw fit to include one of my posts (The Internet Marketer’s Nightmare) as one of the Top 10 Finalists. While I certainly never expected that this laughable excursion into loose-lipped linguistics would […]
Votes cast, and no, I did not rank my own as 5. 🙂
Voting was a bit tough, all the entries were good. I honestly could not narrow down a single “best post”, but several did get high marks from me.
Now that my side is thoroughly hurting, I’ll eagerly await the results of this terrific brownie bait… erm, competition. 😀
Jim-
Thanks for playing in my sandbox!
You should have saved your I’m Not a Nobody, I’m a Weiner! for Jan 1 at 12:01 am so it would have been eligible for next year. It was a hoot. Thanks.
Mike
Awwww man! 😆
Oh well, I’m full of… um, it. I’m sure I’ll come up with something. After all, in our industry, there are so many opportunities to have a little fun at our own expense.
[…] truly excited. Two of my pamphlets made it in The Rubber Chicken Award’s Top 10! That’s 50% success (2/4 nominated pamphlets), so please help me to make that 100%: vote for […]
Wow! Two of my pamphlets made it in the top ten. Thank you! I’m truly excited and couldn’t resist to vote somewhat selfishly (at least I’m honest). By the way, I reread the rules but you didn’t mention standard tools like votebots, sinkbots and such stuff…
Hi Sebastien…
Being naive, I had to look up the meaning of sinkbots . I had never considered the question but am in the process of upgrading my survey software .:)
That being said I suppose that it comes down to your definintion of “People” as this part of the voting is the People’s choice awards.
Thanks for coming by.

[…] awesome power and enlightenment, this post has been nominated for and is a Top 10 finalist in The Columbo Award. Don’t forget to cast your vote for this post before the end of 2007! » Post […]
Mike,
No one’s hating on you over here, just having fun ok?
Well Mike, I have to say the concept of our little awards show being up for an award is kind of making my head ‘sphinn’ with all the redundancy. Thanks for the fun and I shall have to poke Jeff with a stick and have him drop by to shower you with more love and apreciation… weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…..
Good fun M…. thanks
Dave
Hi Dave
Yes, I agree….Looking in the mirror in the mirror can be a bit too much self reflection of reflection.
Mike
Awesome Mike … thanks for the recognition. Wow, there are some great posts there. It’ll be a difficult decision should the votes not be decisive enough.
Damn … I knew we should have included a photo of Matt Cutts in his Borat bathing suit. Surely this would have been enough.
Thanks again Mike! Go Sphinn Awards!
The algo developed should be able to discern even minute differences in standing 🙂
Mike
Thanks, Mike, I’m touched, honored and so looking forward to decorating my “Google Interiors” piece with the Rubber Chicken Award. I promise to treasure it and possibly transform it into a family heirloom.
Sandra
I would only suggest transforming this chicken into a family heirloom with the greatest of care…
Thanks for the submission. It was a fun read.

[…] In related good news, I, Google’s nightmare, have almost won the 2007 Rubber Chicken Award for the dullest most bizarre SEO blog post. […]
I would have loved to be in the running for the Rubber Chicken Award – I think I deserve at least a Golden Carrot for accidently ranking first on Google Web for the ‘most flatulent guy on the planet’.
Chris- I think to receive either the coolest guy or the most flatulent guy on the planet you would need to start your own award. Good luck!
Mike
Cheers Mike,
that’s not such a bad idea actually – I’ll think about it. Btw, your link back to me looks to be broken – just as well since it could really bang the nail in the coffin on my flatulent status, even with the rel nofollow. I may well have condemned myself by drawing attention to this daft accolade.
Hey Chris
Fixed the bad link (was testing the no no follow software I had installed) and I fixed the no follow as well…good luck!
