Do you think you are a Search Engine Marketing expert? If so, you will now have a chance to prove it.

Marin Software along with Search Marketing Expo-SMX West has launched the Biggest Search Geek Contest.
 

"The SMX Biggest Search Geek Contest celebrates the unsung heroes of search marketing who make SEM campaigns successful for the brands and agencies they work for every day," said Danny Sullivan, SMX West program chair and Search Engine Land Editor-in-Chief.
 

The SMX Biggest Search Geek Contest is open to anyone who wants to answer 20 challenging questions about search marketing. The winner will receive a free trip for two people to SMX West in Santa Clara, CA February 10-12,2009.

The prize includes round-trip airfare, hotel accommodations, and passes to SMX West for the winner and a guest. The winner will also receive an award on stage from Danny Sullivan.

The winner will be chosen on who answers the most questions correctly in the least amount of time. Contestants have until the end of January to take the timed questionnaire and the winner will be notified the first week of February. The top 10 percent of contest entrants will each receive a "Search Geek" recognition award from Marin Software.

"Compared with other forms of advertising media including display, TV, print, radio, and direct mail, search marketing is certainly one of the more complex and intellectually challenging, but when done well it's also among the most rewarding," said Chris Lien, CEO of Marin Software.
