It’s that time of year again that all Search Marketing professionals wait in anticipation for, Search Marketing Madness! Last year, PPC Prospector came out on top and won a Kindle 3G. Will they be able to defend the title?
How It Works
Sixty-four Search Marketing blogs will compete in one of four “regions” of expertise: PPC, SEO, Social Media, and Blogging. The 16 teams in each region will battle it out for a spot in the Final Four and eventually one will be named the overall Search Marketing Madness champion!
Voting will take place in 6 rounds, right on the PPC Hero website. Your votes will determine which sites make it to the next round until we have arrived at one, ultimate Search Marketing blog as chosen by our readers. The winner will receive a $200 Amazon gift card and the remaining Final Four contestants will get a $50 gift card each.
