Being I have spent most of the week traveling, filming behind the scenes at Marketleverage, and preparing for one of the most important speeches of my live so far I had to ask to current attendees who they thought I should send to the SEO ThinkTank event in San Diego later this month.
DK and Corey broke down all the contestants and came up with a top 5 in which everyone voted on.

I am happy to say and completely agree with the consensus with the winner.
Current attendees voted and the winner is Zac Johnson
Congrats Zac!
Thanks to everyone who contributed. Everyone talked about how difficult it as in choosing a winner.
Special thanks to ThinkTank attendee Correy Hammond for doing a ton of legwork and helping us pick a winner!

Zac’s going a long way…
Congrats!
Congratz zac, hope you enjoy it.
Good luck at the events, I was going to enter but I couldn’t drop daily business on short notice.
congratulations…………when my turn?? i will work hard to get this..
A Big Congratulations to Zac Johnson!!!
Congrats Zach you deserve it
I have this tremendous admiration for all computer experts…I am more than likely from the wrong generation…I stumble and digg around a lot. But to see someone win an award for something I find extremely complicated and difficult..I have tremendous admiration..
Congratulations to the winners.. Specially Zac Johnson
Jeremy,
I would like to propose that the four runners-up do something cool for the rest of us. There is a video-collaboration free download called ooVoo (www.oovoo.com)
ooVoo permits up to sixteen separate video collaborators to be on-line on one screen simultaneously. All you need is a web cam and a microphone.
I propose you schedule a ‘mini-think-tank session with these obvious thought leaders, (even Bryn!) and help some of us pull ourselves a tiny bit up the food-chain of Affiliate Marketing and SEO.
Hjortur’s time-zone in Iceland, ok I’m willing to meet on his schedule, his blog is very professional.
Let me know after Think Tank if this works, keep it to one hour because we are all so busy..
Respectfully, Nicholas
Man, that’s an awesome idea. An e-think tank….that’d be so cool for the rest of us.
Haha, Zac’s a winner alright. This couldn’t have went to a better guy.
Congrats Zac!
Congrats Zac! You’re one popular spidey. You spin a good web of friends.
Fame comes and wealth chases you around. Enjoy your big moment.
Great pics more people should get to see your site

Congrats Zac … now we want to hear all about it … so you’ll have to blog your every moment at Think Tank! No Pressure … LOL
Darin
Nice!
Congrats Zac.
Congratulations on the win Zac! Love your blog.
Congratulations Zac!
Congratulations to the five and most of all to Zac.
If “Everyone talked about how difficult it as in choosing a winner.”, why don’t just put all the names in a hat and pick one from there. I think that is much fairer. I don’t have any entry in the contest, however I feel that if you can’t pick up a winner in a fairest possible way, you will lose faith to all the participants in the end.
This isn’t one of those contests though. He wanted someone who has experience and can share knowledge to better the conference.
This wasn’t a lottery-style giveaway…
Congrats Zac. Hope he will reveal something about his real money making experiments.
I think that Zac is a god Winner!
Hey Jeremy, this was a nice competition, and i am happy that that Zac won it coz he really deserved it.
Good luck to you Zac
Zac is a great choice! His dedication and helpful demeanor will enhance the Think Tank tremendously. If Jeremy could stream any portion of the Think Tank weekend it would be cool!
Respectfully, Nicholas
Damn, i would sooo have loved to come. I guess i’ll just have to keep my secrets to my self now
ok, maybe i’ll just share them with my readers in stead. Congrats, Zac. You’ve earned it. And thanks for considering me. I’m honored. Hope to meet you guys snnn.
Cool, now Zac can share with Jeremy how he made some money like 3 years ago and how he’s still trying to make some change by posting affiliate links in every post at every opportunity. Congrats on picking someone who already has enough money to pay for the ticket himself!
hey bryn. its not zac’s fault. just by being in the contest people know us that didn’t before. best to take it with a smile and look for the next one. never know who’s watching. great resource with the rss icons, btw
Yeah I know, I can be bitter sometimes. Thanks
Way To Go Zac!
Congrats Zac… hopefully you will learn a lot. Best of luck.
Congratulations and have a GREAT time!
Congrats to all the winners!!
Congrats Zac! I look forward to meeting you there!
great post
Congrats Zac! Now you need to follow up afterwards and tell us all about it! Have fun in San Diego!
Thanks, no doubt… I’ll be continually blogging as I’m there. Lots of travel this month! Florida… Vegas… then California!
Congrats Zac!
Popularity vote. I plan to be big enough by this time next year to win the popularity votes.
Congrats Zac!
Congrats to all the winners!
If you were looking for someone that would be a contributor, I think you made a solid choice! His blog has pretty solid content whenever I go there.
He thanks everyone, I’m really flattered and very much appreciate winning this one! I look forward to bringing back some great information for all of my readers!
HA ha, best of luck there Zac…
