Want an iPad? Show Us What You've Got!

Each week we try to find a good sampling of articles that help small businesses make sense of all the online marketing tactics available to them. As I noted, social media can be confusing as can all of the other aspects of online marketing. We love putting together of collection of articles that we think can help small- to medium-sized businesses get smarter about web tactics.

To make it more fun, we’ve decided to award the best online marketing article for SMBs for May with a 16 GB iPad. Here’s how it’ll work:

1) You submit a link to a post on your blog in the comments section of this blog post by 12 am MST on May 31, 2010. One entry per person. But if you have multiple people writing for a blog, you can more than one entry for blogs.

2) We’ll narrow it down to the top 5 blog posts.

3) Then we’ll let our readers vote on which article they thought was the most helpful to SMBs from June 1 to 4.Voting will end at midnight MST.

4) The topic MUST relate to online marketing but that can cover a wide gamut including paid search (of course!), SEO, e-mail marketing, social media, keywords, landing pages, home pages, etc. Tip: We think how-to posts or detailed posts are really helpful, and we love some humor thrown into it.

5) By submitting a link (and you HAVE to submit your own). Your entry constitutes written permission to use your name and blog post in the announcement of the contest winner and then we’ll repost your blog post on our blog.

6) If you work for Trada or have invested in Trada, we still love you. But you can’t enter the contest. However, our optimizers in the Trada marketplace can enter since they aren’t employees.
