Interested in an "SEM Scholarship"?

Have you got tips, tricks, or secret tactics to share about search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising or social media optimization? Submit them to Andy Beal at Marketing Pilgrim, and you could win a $5,000 “SEM scholarship,” including a pass to our own Search Engine Strategies in Chicago, a few SEM books, SEM tools, and one-on-one consulting with Beal.

Each Monday in October, beginning next week, submissions will be posted on Marketing Pilgrim’s site. The most popular article each week will get an SEM book. At the end of the month, the four finalists will be judged by a panel of experts to determine who will win the package of SEM goodies.

If you’re not interested in the scholarship, you can still learn from this contest, since it’s a great example to follow when you try to create link-bait for your own site.
