Pinkbike gets Mashable!
Pinkbike has been nominated for the 4th Annual Mashable Awards! We are in the running to win the 'Best Website User Experience' award in 2010. What we have here folks, is an opportunity to take our version of mountain biking to the masses.
We need your help!This competition highlights the best of the best in their respective category, and we believe the Pinkbike community to be at the top of their game when it comes to riders pushing the sport of mountain biking.
The Best Website User Experience
What exactly does that mean? It means the best website user experience is the one where the user is the most engaged.
The Pinkbike audience is the most engaged group of users there is! Our audience, that's you, make up a passionate community of bike fanatics who fully immerse themselves in the Pinkbike experience daily. The PB user views an average of 12 pages per visit, for approximately 8 minutes per visit - that's over 733 million pageviews a year.
At the end of the day, our users are one of the most influential and loyal group of bike enthusiasts ever assembled. Did you know you had this kind of clout?
How Do I Get Involved?
Check out the Mashables Nomination page, and login to vote using either your Facebook or Twitter account.
Once you've logged in, enter pinkbike.com in the 'nominate' field, and choose 'Best Website User Experience' from the categories section.
Who are we competing against?
We're up against any and all that fancy themselves as having a great online community - an engaged and devoted audience. Let's not kid ourselves, there is some very stiff competition. Shannon nominated momtastic.com, Jon nominated Coldwell Banker Bluescape, and Julia nominated pokefarm.com. Our most serious competition looks like its coming from ernya.com...not completely sure what they do there, but here's a screenshot just so you know what we're dealing with:

If you aren't in the field you wouldn't know about it. But the same could be said if you aren't into mountain biking you wouldn't know about pinkbike.
