PPC Interview questions - SEO Tips and Tricks
2013, By: Seo MasterPPC Interview Questions
1 What is the difference between search engine marketing and Internet marketing?
Search Engine Marketing is specific to marketing your brand/service/products through search engines. It can be in the form of organic search results where landing pages are aimed for higher ranking, or in paid search results, where ads are aimed to display at maximum exposure for targeted keywords at minimal cost possible.
Internet marketing covers a broader range of channels. It includes search engine marketing, email marketing / EDM, social media, and so on.
2 What is Quality Score and how does it affect your work as paid search specialist?
State the definition of Quality Score without being too bookish. It’s important to understand what it is, rather than remembering what it literally means.
Quality Score’s a part of Google’s way of determining ranking of AdWords ads. This can be achieved by, among others, improving relevance between ad copies and keywords, improving quality of landing pages. By obtaining high quality score for my keywords, I can reduce expenses for my PPC campaigns.
Reducing operating costs is what clients have in mind, right?
3 If we rank high on our brand terms in organic results, do we need to rank well on paid search?
Yes, you may need to rank well on paid search even if you have high rankings within your organic search keywords. That’s because ranking high on organic search, even for your selected terms does not mean automatic success in achieving your business goals. If the ROI for paid search campaign is better than the organic search campaign, it makes more sense to do so. Also, paid search ads on top reinforce the presence of top organic search results. They make your brands/products/services look more credible.
4 How do you manage large set of keywords (hundred thousand to millions)?
It is prerequisite to mention automatic bid tools to manage this huge paid search campaign. But merely saying so does not mean you’re off the hook. It helps to explain classification of keywords, grouping them according to priorities, business objectives and target audience so that if business strategies change, campaigns can easily be modified.
Can also mention classification of keywords according to importance such as “high”, “medium” or “low” and those that are of secondary importance, low performance, and those keywords that are candidates for removal.
Explaining clearly how the number of keywords grew tremendously by stating methodologies for keyword research, usage of match types, negative keywords and describing timing phases helps, too.
5 How do I reduce costs of my paid search campaigns?
Don’t immediately answer open-ended questions that lead to answers based on multiple assumptions. Costs of acquisition? Cost per click? You can’t answer accurately a question that isn’t accurate itself. When in doubt, you should also have the freedom to ask question before you release your thoughts.
Some interviewers are fond of tricky questions.
6 How do you respond if your client’s competitor bought the same trademarked keyword?
Perhaps you did contact that offending party, stated the violation terms, but it still refuses to budge to your polite request.
Answers may vary according to where a campaign is going to take place. In certain markets such as the UK (update: now more), Google allows bidding for trademarked keywords. But if you’re sure that you’re not covered by this policy and feel that a violation has been committed, lodging a complaint to Google is the next logical option.
7 Describe the structure of a Google AdWords paid search campaign
Google AdWords PPC advertising structure is composed of one or multiple accounts (if necessary). An account can handle up to 25 campaigns. Each campaign can handle up to 100 ad groups. Yahoo Search Marketing campaigns can have up to 1,000 keywords and 20 ads within an ad group.
Of course, we don’t have to know these max keyword numbers as we don’t need to fill each ad groups to the max. We only need to fill our ad groups with the most targeted keywords available.
8 How do you differentiate paid search programs of Google, MSN and Yahoo?
One way to differentiate these three are through presentation of strengths and weaknesses of each.
Google AdWords
Advantage: Most robust and corners majority of all paid search traffic
Disadvantage: Due to its big number of advertisers, cost per click is generally more expensive
Yahoo! Search Marketing
Advantage: Lower pay per click cost compared to Google AdWords
Disadvantage: Way behind Google AdWords in terms of reporting features
MSN adCenter
Advantage: Studies show that users of adCenter are more likely result to conversions
Disadvantage: Weakest PPC interface compared to Google AdWords and Yahoo! Search Marketing
9 How do you describe building your keyword list?
Building a list of keywords used for any organic or paid search campaign should be systematic:
Identify your audience
Who are the target audience of this campaign? What would they probably be using to look for my products and services? Knowing your audience is the first sign of a successful paid search campaign.
Review your existing offerings
Based on what search terms people are using, do I have these terms? What are the possible landing pages? Does my website have content voids?
Look at your competitors
Look at competitors and analyze how they position themselves. Are they using the same terms as I do? Broader or more specific?
Check web analytics results
History will be recorded on web analytics tools: keywords used, their effectiveness in driving sales or leads and other useful information. Such data should give us idea on which keywords yielded better ROI.
Expand keywords using various tools
Based on keywords gathered so far, expansion is made possible through various tools available: Google AdWords keyword tool, WordTracker, KeywordDiscovery, and so on. From this big list, we can sort, prioritize and group these keywords according to importance, timing or other segmentation methods.
10. What’s your methodology in creating ad copies?
This question wants to find out how you would come up with ad copies. Are they compelling and paint an accurate picture of the intended message? You may answer it based on the following guidelines:
Find out why your ad copy should be more effective than others
Your ad’s ability to answer basic questions
Testing the ad copy; we’ll never know how effective it is until we put it to the test
What’s your take on bidding for competitor’s trademark keywords?
This is a tricky question that should be addressed properly. PPC Hero has good guidance on this: citing the issue of legality and best-practice because it’s either you can or you can’t bid on a competitor’s trademark terms. Recent development in Google AdWords paid search has paved way for non-trademark owners to bid for previously exclusive trademark keywords. By being active on what’s going on in the industry, this means you’ll always be on top of things as they happen. And that’s a good thing for prospect employers.
11. What is your strategy on geo-targeting ads?
The question will seek answer on how you’d approach ads that are displayed for specific locations. Is it just based on IP filter or should you extend it? For example, if I want to advertise for “seo hong kong” keyword only to users who are located in Hong Kong, an IP targeting methodology will only display the ads if their location (IP address) is associated with Hong Kong.
But what if someone from UK wants to find a Hong Kong SEO agency to optimize its Traditional Chinese content? An extension of this IP targeting should also be based on the keyword itself so that if someone else outside of Hong Kong uses the exact match of the phrase, the ad should still be displayed.
I hope these PPC interview questions and answers list are fairly helpful and assists you in formulating possible answers on questions that relate to the ones I highlighted in this post.
(Q) Based on which Google places ads in first place?
(A) Google decides to give rank 1 in ads depending upon CTR(quality score) x CPC bid.

seo 7 Questions To Expect From Your New PPC Manager 2013
Seo Master present to you: 2013, By: Seo Master
7 Questions To Expect From Your New PPC Manager
So, you’ve taken the plunge and hired a new PPCmanager. Maybe you’ve decided to hire a PPC agency, or maybe you’re keeping PPC in-house but want someone to manage your program full time. Either way, congratulations on the new hire!
You’ll no doubt expect your new PPC manager to dokeyword research, set up ad copy tests, manage bids, and track conversions. But PPC management goes way beyond keywords & ad copy. Here are seven questions to expect from your new PPC manager.
What are Your Goals for PPC?
The first thing your PPC manager should do, before he or she even logs into AdWords, is talk to you about your goals. A PPC campaign without goals is like traveling to a new city without a map. How will you find your way if you don’t know where you’re going?
Expect your new manager to ask specific questions about sales goals, cost per conversion targets, and overall business goals.
What are Your Key Products and Services?
If you’ve hired someone from within, they probably already know the answer to this question. Everyone else needs to ask it.
Even if your goal is just to use PPC to increase overall sales, it’s invaluable to know which products or services are your “must-haves.” This info is critical for prioritization, especially if you run low on budget and your PPC manager has to dial back your spend.
Who is Your Primary Target Audience?
Even your from-within hire should ask this question. Not only is it important for overall marketing strategy, it can also drive PPC tactics such as engine placement, geotargeting, and ad messaging.
For example, if your goal is to generate awareness of a new product targeted to women age 35-54, you might want to focus on Facebook ads. You’ll get zillions of impressions, and they’ll all be delivered to your target audience. If your goal is to reach business decision makers, you should try Bing – it works very well for B2B at a fraction of the cost of Google.
Are There any Specific Offers You’d Like to Promote?
Not all PPC is offer/promotion-based. But it’s still good to know what promotions and offers are out there so you can test them in PPC.
PPC is a great way to vet marketing messaging and get immediate response data without spending a lot of money on creative and traditional media.
You can use PPC to test offers and concepts before rolling it out to display and print. It’s an efficient way to see what resonates with the audience and avoid sinking money into messaging that doesn’t get attention.
What is Your Desired Cost per Conversion?
While this question is related to the goals question, it needs to be asked on its own. I’ve lost count of how many clients I’ve worked with over the years who have no idea how much they’re willing to pay to acquire a customer.
Sure, it’s possible to run PPC campaigns without a target CPA in mind – we’ll just try to get the lowest possible cost per conversion. But if you have even a ballpark number in mind, share it with your PPC manager!
I once had a client in a competitive vertical with CPCs upwards of $5/click. We were getting CPAs of around $15, and I was pretty happy with that. Turns out the client didn’t want to pay more than $5 per lead! We would have had to convert every visitor in that situation.
Get these thoughts out in the open before your campaign launches – you’ll both sleep better at night.
What Conversions are you Measuring, and How are You Measuring Them?
This is another question that a surprising number of advertisers answer with “I don’t know” and “we’re not.” If those are your responses, that’s OK. Your PPC manager can help you. But identifying key website conversion actions and setting up a way to track them will be their first order of business, before they even log in to AdWords.
If you're tracking conversions, that’s great! If you have more than one conversion you’re tracking, take things one step further and make sure your PPC manager knows the priority of each conversion.
If you’re in ecommerce, online sales will probably be your number one conversion; but you might also be interested in email signups, contact form submissions, phone calls, and other actions. Knowing the importance of each conversion will help your PPC manager optimize campaigns accordingly.
What’s a Good Time to Hold a Recurring Meeting?
Nobody wants more meetings. But regular communication with your PPC manager is crucial, whether the manager is in-house or at an agency.
Meetings don’t have to be in-person; I have 30-minute monthly calls with several of my clients, and we rarely cancel. That’s because the clients know that we’ll discuss progress toward their business goals, how well we’re reaching their target audience, promotional offer results, cost per conversion, and conversions by type.
Sound familiar? It should! We discuss all the questions I’ve outlined here. And we talk about other things too; but the primary agenda is usually the first six questions in this post.
Even if your PPC manager isn’t new, it’s a good idea to revisit these questions with them. You’ll be glad you did.

Top Digital Marketing Interview Questions
Digital marketing is making waves these days as many companies that once used the traditional style of marketing are now going digital. This is due to the benefits digital marketing offers.
Let us say, you are interviewing a digital marketing professional. In this scenario what are the top digital marketing interview questions that you could ask your potential hire. These questions will also help you if you are looking to be hired in a digital marketing role.
First, know what it takes to do the job.
Asking the right digital marketing interview questions is not that difficult.
As in any other interview, you need to align your questions to – what needs to be done in a job and then gauge the applicant’s ability to do the job.
Let us see what a digital marketing professional does.
She uses digital media (Facebook. Twitter, Pinterest, mobile etc.) to promote a brand, and to engage potential customers.
This is done by creating campaigns. So a digital marketing professional needs good understanding of the media (social/digital in this case) – have the planning and execution ability like any other marketing professional and – also should know her way around essential tools.
What is different here – is that a digital marketing professional – essentially does not need a lot of theoretical knowledge. You should be willing to hire somebody who is young and has good experience using social media and tools that engage and measure. It is OK to hire someone who is 21 – if she started using social media around 13 years of age. So that is around 8 years of experience.
Also taking a stock of your business goals helps – you can then align which part of your business goals – you want to achieve through your company’s digital marketing efforts.
With this, you should have the right mindset to plan your digital marketing interview questions.
Know what level you are hiring (being hired) for.
Questions will differ depending on the role you are hiring for.
If you are interviewing (or being interviewed) for role of Head – Digital Marketing then questions will differ than that for a digital marketing manager.
Head of Digital obviously should have a very good understanding of the digital marketing landscape – the media, tools for engagement, tools for creation, and also how to measure effectiveness of various campaigns and impact of all these things on traffic (visitor to brand’s destination that can be a website, Facebook page or places like that. For web analytics this person needs to know more than Google Analytics.
Also it helps to be good at striking partnership to scale campaigns effective when the need comes.
A digital marketing manager needs to be good at finishing assigned tasks quickly. Create proposals to be approved by the Head of Digital – being shown to CEO or Head of Marketing. Depending on reporting structure. She also needs to be good to work with a team of digital marketing executives and interns. This person should be a good executor – a plus if she can strategize too.
Now time to dig into some real life questions.
Sample Digital Marketing Interview Questions
These are the questions you should be ready to ask (or be asked) depending on whether you are the interviewee or interviewer.
- How long you have been working online?
- What companies you have worked with?
- What are some of the highlights of your career?
- Which social network you are most active on?
- What is your plan for growing our business using digital marketing?
- Are you are team worker or work better independently?
- What are your thoughts about content marketing?
- Do you think SEO is a part of digital marketing?
- What tools do you use to create, manage and measure digital campaigns?
- Do you blog?
- Given a chance what will be your digital marketing plan for our brand – immediately after you join.
- Which traffic is better – paid or organic?
- Is it OK if we focus only on organic traffic, and do not invest in paid media?
- If we go for paid media – where should be invest our money.
- How much money do we need for an ideal digital marketing plan in a year?
- What do you see as your goals during first 6 months of working with our company?
- Any questions you want to ask?
Prepare around these questions, keep something handy to show – a report (printed will work good, people still love paper), and you should be able to handle a digital marketing interview well.
Other things that matter.
I do not need to tell you, that when you interview for a digital marketing role – you should be a heavy user of at least 1-2 of social network. Also have some understanding of importance of focusing on mobile (with some solid data points to discuss during interview).
Know about the person you are meeting with – and company you are interviewing for. if you are interviewing to hire someone – now about the companies/brands this person has worked for earlier.
Now go and do it 
And do not hesitate to ask any questions that come to your mind. Email me.
Consider me your friend You can do that?
You can do that?Be sure I will not interview you – just help with what I know.

2013, By: Seo Masterfrom web contents: Tips for Eastern European webmasters 2013
salam every one, this is a topic from google web master centrale blog:
In 2006 we ramped up on international webmaster issues and particularly tried to support Eastern Europe. We opened several offices in the region, improved our algorithms with respect to these languages, and localized many of our products. Should I find only one word to describe these markets, I would say they are diverse. Still, they have two things in common: their online markets are currently in a developing phase and a high number of webmasters and search engine optimizers work there in a variety of languages. We are aware that a certain amount of webspam is generated in this region and we would like to reinforce that we have been working hard to take action on it both algorithmically and manually. Since I have seen some common phenomena in a bunch of these markets, here are a couple of suggestions for Eastern European webmasters and SEOs:
this is a topic published in 2013... to get contents for your blog or your forum, just contact me at: devnasser@gmail.com- Avoid link exchanges. If a fellow webmaster approaches you with some sketchy offer, just refuse. Instead, work on the content of your site. Once you have the quality content, you can use the buzzing blogger community and social web services in your language to get nice linkbaits. Creating good content for your language community will pay off. Help the high-quality people in your language community and they will re-power you.
- Use regional and geographical domains in line with their purpose. First, a sidenote for the Western webmasters: some Eastern European countries like Poland and Russia have so-called regional or geographical domains. Imagine that all the states in the U.S. had their official second level domain and if you wanted to open your webshop delivering to Kentucky, you could do it cheap or for free on eg. ky.us. This could help Google serve geographically relevant search results. In case you wish to sell organic soaps to people in Szczecin, do open your webshop on szczecin.pl. If you are from Kalmykia and would like to show the world the beauty of your area, go ahead and set up your Kalmyki travel site on kalmykia.ru. If you like a region, support it by hosting your site on the related regional or geographical domain. Be aware that webspam on these regional domains violates the correct use of them and prevents the development of your country's web culture.
- Say no to Cybersquats! Sneaky registering of strong online brands with Belarusian, Estonian or Slovak top level domains is just bad. While it will not particularly help you boost the ranking of your site, cybersquatting often has created disappointed users and legal actions as side effects.
- Think long-term. You have your share of responsibility for the development of your market. Creating quality sites that target users who search for highly specific content in your particular language will help you get your market into a more mature status -- and mature markets mean mature publisher revenue too.
from web contents: Helping your site look great with Google Chrome 2013
salam every one, this is a topic from google web master centrale blog:
Webmaster Level: Intermediate to Advanced
Since launching Google Chrome last September, we received a number of questions from webmasters and web developers about how to make their sites look great in Google Chrome. The questions were very insightful and illuminating for the Chrome team, and I want to respond with a few helpful tips for making your site look stellar in Google Chrome.
Detecting Google Chrome
Most sites will render the same in both Safari and Google Chrome, because they're both WebKit-based browsers. If your site looks right in Safari, then it should look right in Google Chrome, too.
Since Chrome is relatively new, many sites have confused Google Chrome with another browser. If your site doesn't look quite right in Chrome but works fine in Safari, it's possible your site may just not recognize Chrome's user-agent string.
As platforms and browsers adopt WebKit as their rendering engine, your site can detect and support them automatically with the right JavaScript checks. Commonly, sites use JavaScript to 'sniff' the navigator.userAgent property for "Chrome" or "Safari", but you should use proper object detection if possible. In fact, Gmail has been detecting WebKit properly in Chrome since day one!
If you must detect the user-agent type, you can use this simple JavaScript to detect WebKit:
var isWebkit =
navigator.userAgent.indexOf("AppleWebKit") > -1;
Or, if you want to check that the version of WebKit is at least a certain version—say, if you want to use a spiffy new WebKit feature:
var webkitVersion =
parseFloat(navigator.userAgent.split("AppleWebKit/")[1]) ||
undefined;
if (webkitVersion && webkitVersion > 500 ) {
// use spiffy WebKit feature here
}
For reference, here are a few browser releases and the version of WebKit they shipped:
We do not recommend adding "Google" or "Apple" to your navigator.vendor checks to detect WebKit or Google Chrome, because this will not detect other WebKit or Chromium-based browsers!
You can find more information about detecting WebKit at webkit.org.
Other helpful tips
Help us improve Google Chrome!
If you'd like to help even more, we're looking for sites that may be interested in allowing Google to use their site as a benchmark for our internal compatibility and performance measurements. If you're interested in having Google Chrome development optimized against a cached version of your site, please contact us about details at chrome-webmasters@google.com.
Please keep the feedback coming, and we'll keep working to improve Google Chrome!

| Browser | Version of WebKit |
| Chrome 1.0 | 525.19 |
| Chrome 2.0 beta | 530.1 |
| Safari 3.1 | 525.19 |
| Safari 3.2 | 525.26.2 |
| Safari 4.0 beta | 528.16 |
We do not recommend adding "Google" or "Apple" to your navigator.vendor checks to detect WebKit or Google Chrome, because this will not detect other WebKit or Chromium-based browsers!
You can find more information about detecting WebKit at webkit.org.
Other helpful tips
- Google Chrome doesn't support ActiveX plug-ins, but does support NPAPI plug-ins. This means you can show plug-in content like Flash and Java in Google Chrome the same way you do with Firefox and Safari.
- If text on your site looks a bit off, make sure you provide the proper content type and character encoding information in the HTTP response headers, or at the beginning of your pages, preferably near the top of the <head> section.
- Don't put block elements inside inline elements.
Wrong: <a><div>This will look wrong.</div></a>
Right: <div><a>This will look right!</a></div>
- If your JavaScript isn't working in Google Chrome, you can debug using Chrome's built-in JavaScript debugger, under the "page" menu -> 'Developer' -> 'Debug JavaScript' menu option.

from web contents: Rich snippets go international 2013
salam every one, this is a topic from google web master centrale blog: Webmaster Level: All
As part of our efforts to make search results more useful to our users around the world, we’re announcing the international availability of rich snippets. If you’ve been following our blog posts, you already know that rich snippets let users see additional facts and data from your site in search results.
For example, we recently launched rich snippets for recipes which, for certain sites, lets users see quick recipe facts as part of the snippet and makes it easier to determine if the page has what they are looking for:
We’ve had a lot of questions on our blogs and forums about international support for rich snippets - and we know that many of you have already started marking up your content - so today’s announcement is very exciting for us.
In addition to adding support for rich snippets in any language, we have published documentation on how to mark up your sites for rich snippets in the following languages: simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish. (You can change the Help language by scrolling to the bottom of the help page and selecting the language you want from the drop-down menu.)
We encourage you to read the documentation to take advantage of the different types of rich snippets currently supported: people profiles, reviews, videos, events and recipes. You can also use our testing tool (in English only, but useful to test markup in any language) and start validating your markup to make sure results show as you would expect.
Finally and as you’ve probably heard by now (several times), we’re taking a gradual approach to surface rich snippets. This means that marking up your site doesn’t guarantee that we’ll show rich snippets for your pages. We’re doing this to ensure a good experience for our users; but rest assured we’re working hard to expand coverage and include more web pages.

from web contents: The Impact of User Feedback, Part 2 (and more Popular Picks!) 2013
salam every one, this is a topic from google web master centrale blog:
As a follow-up to my recent post about how user reports of webspam and paid links help improve Google's search results for millions of users, I wanted to highlight one of the most essential parts of Google Webmaster Central: our Webmaster Help Group. With over 37,000 members in our English group and support in 15 other languages, the group is the place to get your questions answered regarding crawling and indexing or Webmaster Tools. We're thankful for a fabulous group of Bionic Posters who have dedicated their time and energy to making the Webmaster Help Group a great place to be. When appropriate, Googlers, including myself, jump in to clarify issues or participate in the dialogue. One thing to note: we try hard to read most posts in the group, and although we may not respond to each one, your feedback and concerns help drive the features we work on. Here are a few examples:
Sitemap detailsSubmitting a Sitemap through Webmaster Tools is one way to let know Google know about what pages exist on your site. Users were quick to note that even though they submitted a Sitemap of all the pages on their site, they only found a sampling of URLs indexed through a site: search. In response, the Webmaster Tools team created a Sitemaps details page to better tell you how your Sitemap was processed. You can read a refresher about the Sitemaps details page in Jonathan's blog post.
Contextual help
One request we received early on with Webmaster Tools was for better documentation on the data displayed. We saw several questions about meta description and title tag issues using our Content Analysis tool, which led us to beef up our documentation on that page and link to that Help Center article directly from that page. Similarly, we discovered that users needed clarification on the distinction between "top search queries" and "top clicked queries" and how the data can be used. We added an expandable section entitled "How do I use this data?" and placed contextual help information across Webmaster Tools to explain what each feature is and where to get more information about it.
Blog posts
The Webmaster Help Group is also a way for us to keep a pulse on what overarching questions are on the minds of webmasters so we can address some of those concerns through this blog. Whether it's how to submit a reconsideration request using Webmaster Tools, deal with duplicate content, move a site, or design for accessibility, we're always open to hearing more about your concerns in the Group. Which reminds me...
It's time for more Popular Picks!
Last year, we devoted two weeks to soliciting and answering five of your most pressing webmaster-related questions. These Popular Picks covered the following topics:

from web contents: Using Webmaster Tools like an SEO 2013
salam every one, this is a topic from google web master centrale blog: Webmaster Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Just as a grandparent raves about their grandchild, I could have gone on for hours about (my baby!) Webmaster Tools. Thankfully I stopped myself -- but if you have tips to share or questions to ask, please comment below.
We on the Webmaster Central team aren’t SEOs, but that doesn’t stop me from pretending to be one! In our latest video, I’ll talk about utilizing some features in Webmaster Tools as though I were the SEO for www.googlestore.com.

from web contents: Bionic Posters help webmasters worldwide 2013
salam every one, this is a topic from google web master centrale blog:
Setting up and running a website is getting easier and easier, and it's wonderful to see so many new webmasters sharing their voices with the world! For you as a webmaster it's pretty easy going... until you run into an issue that you just can't seem to solve on your own. Maybe some technical issues were flagged in your Webmaster Tools account; maybe you're just trying to get your robots.txt to block a certain part of your site; or maybe someone reported that they got a virus while visiting your site (gasp!). All of these issues can come up and sometimes it's helpful to have a helping hand when diagnosing and solving it.
Our Google Webmaster Help Group is a great place to get help. There are many webmasters active in our group, friendly and ready to help others, often with first-hand experience. They can show you what might be wrong, show you how you can find answers in the future, and point you towards a solution that you'll be able to use.
Just recently a webmaster came into the groups with a website that was having strange problems. Less than 20 minutes later, one of our dedicated members replied and pointed the webmaster to hidden content that was placed on their site by someone else. Finding that is bad enough; but not finding it is even more frustrating.
While there are lots of helpful people in our groups, we have some that really stand out as being exceptionally active, helpful, competent and friendly. They volunteer time and energy to help build a great community and to help webmasters all around the world. In order to more publicly recognize their contributions, we're calling them our Bionic Posters. We want to highlight their outstanding efforts and thank them for the sound advice they've offered to so many.
We wanted to take a minute and send a shout out to our Bionic Posters:
