Party Like A RockStar At Pubcon
Paid Hotel Dec 4-7, 2007
Paid-for Full Conference Pass
$500 Spending Money
Who is this open to?
This is open to anyone anywhere in the world who wants to goto Las Vegas Pubcon AND have access to all the insiders, parties, and even events that never make it anywhere publicly.
What is required of you to have a chance to win?
1) You should look at the photo gallery from last year’s PubCon and make sure you know what you’re in for. These parties are no joke and if you can’t get up @8am to go to all the sessions and party until 2am+ then this is probably not for you! (also feel free to use them in your posts)
2) You must be able to fly to Las Vegas (we will cover the costs) This means if your outside the united states you need to have a valid passport or the ability to come to the United States (legally)
3) Write a blog post about why you should win the Roll With The Rockstars contest and post your link in the comments.
The finalists will be picked by November 10th and a winner will be chosen by the 15th! GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
Your judges-
Dax Herrera - “Rolling like an SEO Rockstar means one thing to me: you take your pants off louder than you talk business.Questions are right out the window for an SEO Rockstar. Anything that starts with “What do you think of…?” Is not something from the mouth of a “baller” or a “shot-caller”. Put some juevos on the line and throw out opinions like you’re bailing out a sinking canoe.I’d like to hear what you’re going to do in Vegas with $500. None of it better be going home.” |
Rebecca Kelley- “If you’re going to roll with the rockstars at Pubcon, you have to be one funny mofo. None of this wallflower B.S., because that ain’t gonna fly with us. Can you bring the snark? Can you cash in on the clever? Can you make an observation so witty and rad that we’ll bust our guts, stand back and stare at you, and say “Damn dude, I should hire you to be my office jester!” Oh, and if you can dish it out you have to be able to take it, too. We don’t want to hang with people we can’t tease. So what if you’re an SEO noob? If you’re a good sport, funny, and have the ability to knock back a few and stay out late, you’re all right in our book.” |
Neil Patel- “If you are looking to talk shop all day, that is cool, but I’m looking for someone who is fun. If you want to roll you need a personality and need to be able to hang until late hours of the day. The most important thing is you need to know is how to get drunk and get loose.” |
Greg Hartnett - “I’m going to be looking for a guy or girl that has a great sense of humor, likes to drink and since it’s Vegas, likes to play cards. I could care less about their industry experience or what they do for a living. We’re looking for somebody who knows how to have a good time and can hang until the wee hours of the morning.” |
David Dellanave I don’t care if you’re funny or witty or cute. If you want to roll with us, Pubcon or anywhere else, you better be able to bring it. No SEO newbies or Hello World programmers need apply. If you can’t rank #1 for viagra in a few hours, you’re not a rockstar. If you can’t build a site in assembly overnight with just 1 can of Red Bull and a DiGiorno, you’re not a rockstar. Rolling with us involves copious amounts of drinking and fighting, and we leave behind our fallen. So if you can’t hang, don’t even think about applying. |

I just want to be clear we have not recieved any financial or endorsement from Brett Tabke or The Pubcon Conference.
Looks like a good time is had by all at PubCon…
When does the contest end (or did we miss that in the post)?
nice I suppose I should add that in.
Paid round-trip, paid accomodation, full pass and $500 to spend!
Only 1 winner? When is the closing date?
Dang I wish I lived in the US!!
wow! I’m very tempted. Just imagine the face of my daughter’s principal when she sees the photos.
@blogcontests where do you see US only?!?!
My bad!
Dear Lord, looks like we might see a new light heaveyweight SEO champion crowned.
OMG, everyone looks so frickin wasted!
Yeah, but I’m the only one rockin’ the sweet ’stache.
If I win I will auction my prize and give you the money for electrolysis
This sounds like an awesome contest. I may just have to enter.
i miss funnels
Will there be a limo service from the airport to hotel and vice versa?
Sounds fun, too bad Ill be doing finals then
Looks fu nthats forsure but I don’t have a passport and can’t get one that fast.
Looks like a bunch of softies to me - I’m thinking the judges probably all go home at 10pm and go to sleep with a blankey….
I just got back from 3 weeks in Brazil, now that was a test of my stamina and toxin processing abilities.
might do this. i garuantee that i can drink every one of the judges under the table. i didn’t spend 8 years in university doing 4 study abroads for nothing. i live the rockstar lifestyle in countries with less than stellar economies, why not do it here. last time i was in vegas i got kicked out of my hotel, thats rockstar. not to mention i could use any help i can get with regards to search. this contest is for me to win.
Sounds like a blast. I don’t party like that any more (not sure if I ever did). I would love to go to that event though. Is there anyway to get discount tickets or are they that much? I live in Az, its less than an hour to fly there, and cheap too.
That pic of Neil Patel is one of the funniest pics I’ve seen, did he get that funnel down?
What if, uh, we’re under 21?
fake ID
Shoe,
Is there an option for those of us who don’t have a blog or a suitable place to post?
if you cant figure out how to make a free account on wordpress or blogger then…. well… i dunno =(
Hey Shoe,
Are you going to update this post with all the latest entrants?
Regards,
Sock.
I’m not much of a party guy. Hope whoever wins, has fun!
I would try but my chances of winning are probably slim so ill pass heh
I still party like that on ocasion, but as I got older I stick to my work from home business.

That would be fun, but my wife is due a few weeks atter this. There’s no way she’s letting me go to Vegas right before she gives birth.
I would feel like an ass if I were drunk in Vegas and she went into labor.
good idea not to apply… a few weeks. rock start would get the call the kid was born two days from the lawyer letting you know the babies momma was asking for support
jk
Omg the first guy was freaking sexy..lol
OK boys and girls here is my entry post for the contest:
http://www.jaankanellis.com/why-i-am-the-shoemoney-search-engine-rockstar-for-pub-con-las-vegas-2007/
$500 != rockstar
Come on I could loose that in 15 minutes at the blackjack table.
you can’t get a bottle of “gray” goose at some clubs out there for $500. 15 minutes? after getting kicked out of the hotel last time in vegas, we decided to take what we had left and drop it on one hand at the closest table (next casino). We doubled up and hit up a bar. 15 minutes wouldn’t give you time to wait for your drink… but at the same time you could double up in less time.
Now that’s rock star status.

just take a look at the url. Looks beautiful, doesnt it? Well. I guarantee that I can drink everyone of you under the table. I’m european. That says all.
european doesn’t = good drinker to us across the pond. you have to be from specific countries. for example french aren’t known to drink more than a glass of wine or two, portuguese aren’t known for drinking either… the stereotypes are specific
