The judges have spoken and here are the 3 finalists.
We need to announce the winner on Monday and need your help. Please cast your vote for who you think should win the Roll With The Search Engine Rockstars @ Pubcon Contest sponsored by Unique Blog Designs and Sure Hits.
EDIT: Poll removed. (I think people thought the poll was the official contest so there was a lot of trying to game it or send whiney emails to me (which isnt going to gain any points)). We more just wanted to hear the opinions of who people wanted to win.
The judges will decide today and a post will be made tomrorow.

I vote for the SEO loser
November 18, 2007 at 4:36 pm
I would like to think that most of my votes were legit.
Unlike the other finalists I don’t have a personal blog to appeal to subscribers and daily readers, I tried to leverage other social media ‘friends’ for votes: Myspace, Stumbleupon, Digg etc.
Anyway, good luck Laura and Loser. IF I win you I hope you are still able to make it, you are welcome to crash in my hotel room

“Game the system?” from these guys? HAHAHAHAHA!!! I thought that was the basic instinct of this industry

Voting for Party Like A Rockstar
November 18, 2007 at 1:57 am
Oh, oh I have the perfect solution!
Send all 3 of them to Vegas! Now that would be one hell of a Party!
What do you think finalists, judges?
November 18, 2007 at 1:12 am
…Says SEO Loser innocently, lol, perhaps the judges should have just picked a winner.
November 18, 2007 at 1:07 am
btw i didnt mean this in any negative way against other finalists
its just the temptation for manipulation here is a bit to obvious to be accidental.
November 18, 2007 at 1:03 am
Shoe’s just a LITTLE too smart for this kind of obvious maneuvering.. which I have to say makes me wonder–is this a ‘proxy-spam-bait’ campaign?
Where’s the twist 
November 18, 2007 at 12:57 am
Shoe has defended well against multiple voting attempts from the same IP…but he hasn’t tried/been able to combat votes cast from anonymous proxies. He’s a brilliant man, so I trust he’ll figure it out.
November 18, 2007 at 12:11 am
Laura pulls 70+ votes in a few hours?
Sus much? lol
November 17, 2007 at 10:46 pm
voting for laura!
November 17, 2007 at 10:45 pm

November 16, 2007 at 1:59 pm
I vote SEO Looser!
November 16, 2007 at 3:15 am
Voted Party Like A Rockstar for being funny.
November 15, 2007 at 4:48 pm
I had to vote for seo loser because I can relate
November 15, 2007 at 12:29 pm

Wow, it’s going to be close! Laura has my vote but that was tough. The picture of Laura drinking out of a huge bottle of champagne while her friends had wimpy beers won me over.
November 14, 2007 at 11:36 pm
Changin my vote…SEO Loser you rock dude! Keep up the good work bro.
November 14, 2007 at 10:22 pm
Hands down, SEO Loser. He’s so hilarious on his blog!
November 14, 2007 at 5:44 pm
Party like a rockstars site was hilarious. I voted for him.
November 14, 2007 at 3:31 pm
I voted for Laura, although I thought she would have learned more from NIM show, her site doesn’t reflect it. But, its way better than mine!
November 14, 2007 at 12:38 pm
I declare Shenanigans!
November 14, 2007 at 12:15 pm
my vote goes to laura martin. being pretty much the only girl blogger in the group last week, you’re gonna need another girl wing man. she got me with point #7, i didn’t even need to read the rest. trust me, in vegas, another penis is not what you need
November 14, 2007 at 2:39 am
party-like-rockstar.com here
November 14, 2007 at 2:24 am
hahaha. neither do I. I thought getting drunk off your ass was the major requirement and not gambling. Or our you suppose to gamble while you are drunk off your ass?
November 14, 2007 at 2:12 am
Tough choice …
November 14, 2007 at 12:28 am
Vote for…I don’t know, everything is good on all the sites

November 13, 2007 at 11:45 pm
Wow, personal endorsements from ‘big jason’ – probably not the first person I would want in my corner lol…
November 13, 2007 at 9:45 pm
Dude she doesn’t even know how to play poker…
November 13, 2007 at 9:41 pm
did you say “luck”? that is all the more reason for her to be in vegas partying
November 13, 2007 at 9:37 pm
Oh yeah – thanks to all the guys above for the kind words and the votes
November 13, 2007 at 9:21 pm
Dude, so happy to be among the finalists!!! THANKS to the judges for the chance.
November 13, 2007 at 9:17 pm
Forget Laura, shes had enough luck – she was on that cheesy internet millionaire…
November 13, 2007 at 8:50 pm
Vote for Laura or I’ll kick your ass!
big jason
November 13, 2007 at 8:48 pm
Good luck to you all. I really like Laura but party-like-a-rockstar has a nice site dedicated… tough call!
November 13, 2007 at 8:12 pm
uh oh, the race is kind of tight
November 13, 2007 at 7:49 pm
Congrats to the finalists! I was a buzzer beater (the story of my life), and figured I had probably entered a bit too late – which my analytics confirmed (i.e., 3 total visits since last Friday). Anyway, for the judges who didn’t see my entry…don’t worry, I’ll be removing “your” Facebook Pages shortly;-) Not surprisingly, Neil’s fake profile has already been friended – too funny!
November 13, 2007 at 7:30 pm
A vote for party like a rock star!
November 13, 2007 at 6:46 pm
I voted for SEOLoser. Looks like he is a fun guy. Come on guys, so easy to vote for the “hot chick”…
November 13, 2007 at 6:03 pm
Nooooooo, I so wanted a pass to this conference. I have been checking this blog for the finalists nonstop (sometimes in my sleep). Ack. My poor crushed dreams of rockstardom.
I like SEO Loser’s blog. Good writing too. He has my vote.
November 13, 2007 at 5:02 pm
What??!!! I don’t get to go for a free?
I second Zac Johnson for: Party Like a Rockstar for creativity!
November 13, 2007 at 5:00 pm
SEOLoser and Party-Like-A-Rockstar looks like they can hold their liquor, but my money is on Laura!

seo loser all the way!!!
November 13, 2007 at 4:31 pm
I met the SEO Loser at pubcon last year, we even partied at the Microsoft Kingpin suite, his smooth talking helped get us in. Cool guy, definitely not a loser.
November 13, 2007 at 4:13 pm
A vote for “Party Like A Rockstar”, for the effort and creativity!
November 13, 2007 at 4:01 pm
Cool. Just saw they were not put on the list of entries.
Thanks Jeremy.
November 13, 2007 at 3:58 pm
I thought I had a shot at the big Win
I am going to try and get down to one of these conference one of these days. I understand they are priceless. I’d love to meet all of the rockstars they all seem like very fun people.
November 13, 2007 at 3:58 pm
I voted for Party Like A Rockstar… That dude looks like he can roll with the big dogs…
November 13, 2007 at 3:56 pm
sure it was considered but I am not sure the judges were big on buzzer beater entries.
November 13, 2007 at 3:54 pm
Wouldn’t surprise me. asi es la vida. there is no spot for a proxy.
November 13, 2007 at 3:45 pm
I got mine in on the 9th but it doesn’t look like it made it as an official entry
se la vie
November 13, 2007 at 3:43 pm
I had a nice little write up but wouldn’t have been able to make it. Would have been fun though. Off to reading about who should go in my place
November 13, 2007 at 3:40 pm
Just out of curiosity were the entrants from the 9th considered?
