The Search Marketing Madness Round of 32 Begins

The first round of our Search Marketing Madness tournament is complete and 32 of the best PPC managers, blogs, conferences, and softwares are moving on. Remember that the winner of the tournament gets a FREE registration to the PPC event of the year, Hero Conf.

We’ve had many great matchups so far. In the manager bracket, Susan Wenograd barely beat out Larry Kim while Kirk Williams and Robert Brady also moved on by narrow margins. In the conference bracket, the ClickZ Live/South by Southwest (SxSW) matchup was the closest with South by Southwest (SxSW) winning by 2 votes! Also winning by 2 votes was Kenshoo against Bing Ads Editor in the software bracket.
