Spot.ph won its second Digital Filipino Web Award in a row for the Best Reviews Website category in ceremonies held November 24 at the Hotel Intercontinental Manila. Spot.ph won the same award in 2009.
The Digital Filipino Web Awards (DFWA)was launched in 2007 by DigitalFilipino.com, an Internet community site founded by Janet Toral in 2003. The DFWA "recognizes the changes [in] the way websites are being perceived now and how [they are] valued. As Filipinos' primary Internet activity today is to search and interact through social networks, high quality websites filled with relevant content and [their] attractiveness [to} social media sharing influences which websites matter more than the rest."
This year, they collaborated with Search Profile Index and scanned local websites in 50 to 100 categories to create the DigitalFilipino Web Awards - Search Profile Index Top 100 list. Awards were given to websites on the basis of the following criteria: search engine competitiveness, ranking on popular category keywords, website traffic stickiness, technical performance and social media engagement.
Four other Summit Media websites were awarded, namely: stylebible.ph, topgear.com.ph, pep.ph and fhm.com.ph. Here's the complete list of winners:
