Search Engine Optimization Charity Contest Winners Revealed
Today’s the day we announce the winners of our SEO contest. You’re excited, aren’t you? Yeah, well, don’t be a jerky cheater and scroll down to find the names without reading the rest of the entry. I work hard to amuse you with my wit, let me have my moment, will you?
Okay!
So, as you may have read, we launched an SEO Charity Contest two weeks ago challenging search marketers to donate their time to help a worthy cause, offering a pretty incredible prize package as an added incentive. We were auctioning off a free pass to Search Marketing Expo (just 20 days away!), as well as a free pass to Bruce Clay’s SEO training course and the Advanced Certification Course. We thought it was a pretty sweet deal.
And apparently, so did you. We received in-depth analyses on a myriad of great-sounding charities. And because we received so many stellar applicants, we selected not only a Grand Prize Winner but a Totally Awesome Runner-Up (TARU).
The TARU will be awarded a free pass to Bruce’s SEO training and Advanced Certification Course being held July 16-19 in Simi Valley, CA.
And the winners of Bruce Clay’s SEO Contest are:
[cue drum roll]
- Grand Prize Winner: Keri Morgret who partnered with Open Education Resource.
- Totally Awesome Runner-Up: Cavan Moon who partnered with Chicago Canine Rescue Foundation. (Here’s hoping Cavan brings a puppy to training!)
Congrats to both Keri and Cavan! Enjoy your moment of fame and then scurry off and go buy your plane tickets. We can’t wait to meet both of you.
To read more about Keri, Cavan and their causes, check out the Feature Article in today’s SEO Newsletter.
To those that were unlucky this time around or wanted to enter but were unable to, have no fear. As a result of the success of this contest, we will be offering similar opportunities in the future. Your next chance to win will be later this summer when we auction off a ticket to Search Engine Strategies San Jose. Keep your eyes on the blog for details!

Hip Hip Bruceclay!
Congrats on your own SMX ticket win, Patrick! We’ll see you in Seattle.
Excellent choices. Great idea for a contest.
Lisa and Susan,
Thanks again for coordinating this contest, and congrats to Keri! I’m sure this is going to be a huge boost to both of our partner non-profits. Patrick, an SMX ticket on Monday and a nice bit of linkbaiting on Cartoon Barry today; that’s an awesome way to start out your week!
Cavan, congrats and great looking site!
Lisa and Susan,
I also want to add my thanks to you for coordinating the contest. I’m looking forward to the conference, and to coming to Simi Valley and meeting all of you.
Congrats Cavan & Keri!
