These listings are provided to make our readers aware of the majority of the other award systems available. Although they are not part of our "recommended group", that in no manner means they should not be considered.

It is of the utmost importance however that you are careful in your selection of ANY awards program. Be sure the program you select is applicable to your needs.  If there is something you don't know or understand, ask questions!

This does not necessarily designate that the web site for the company was in operation the same day as the URL was activated.Ā It is important to note that some of these companies were in operation before they established an Internet presence.

Careful and diligent effort is put forth by our staff and other agencies who assist us, to research practical facts on each company to provide for our readers. This information will help you make intelligent decisions based upon what you know, not what may be printed on a web site.
