David, thanks for your empathy, not really. Thanks for your complement, this competition was challenging for me, but I am really glad I did it. We will see what happens, your story on your site about entering the SEM competition was really cool. Keep up the good work, maybe I'll will hear you speak at SEO conference sometime!

Sorry about the Lakers Mike, not really. Anyway great job with the article, I think it was an excellent lead in with you describing the video and then making your points. I entered this contest a couple of years back and can tell you from my experience that you are indeed already a winner. Keep up the good work!

Btw, I know the Lakers aren't playing like they should but they did do enough in Game 6 to push the series back to Boston with a chance to play for Game 7 where anything can happen. Let's all hope that Kobe gets hot, and that the rest of the Lakers man up. Interestingly enough, perhaps as the Lakers go, so goes this post in the competition because I bet if (for example) Kobe Bryant has a big game in the finals this post in particular will get more traffic because there would be more searches for "Kobe Bryant" in general, but if they lose and or he has a bad game maybe there would be less searches for him. It would be an interesting case study to compare the Lakers performance against the amount of traffic that this blog post brings in over the span of the playoffs. Because of the NBA finals this post might create what SEOs refer to the Longtail keyword effect. Hmm... Mike Morabito's last blog post..HELP ME: SEM (Search Engine Marketing) Scholarship Competition

Ryan, thanks for watching, reading and commenting. I feel like I have watched that video over 15 times. I love it, you almost get the feeling that you are there with Kobe. There is now also another viral video commercial from Nike out with Kobe jumping over a pool of snakes, its pretty funny. Thanks for the complements!

Mike, thanks for the comment! I really appreciate it. The interesting thing about how advertising and business is done on the internet is that it in someways opens up the doors to make business than more than just about pricing (even though the internet may make it seem like pricing is king) because there are more opportunities today to network socially online in a way that wasn't possible in traditional sales/advertising. Furthermore, using the internet to supplement traditional sales and advertising solidifys your personal brand which people are really buying. Thanks again!

Very interesting article Mike, I thoroughly enjoyed the use of the youtube clip. I too, think you are a winner and they should end the contest early. Keep up the great work, maybe we could talk about your web marketing skills as I have a few tricks of my own. You have solid support in IOWA!!

Cool video. I am not much for marketing, but that video did connect with me. I had to watch it a second time because It was something that hooked me. This is a great marketing strategy because connecting with your audience reals them in like that video did for me. And great article by the way!

Thank you for the great article. Your piece was an eye opener for someone who takes so much at face value.

My generation is taking more time catching up with what can be done on the internet. The subtleties make it a chalklenge to know how to keep on top.

Good luck!

Ryan, thanks for reading my article! I feel like people have been given so much and I think when they share what they have with others they get so much more back from the experience. The same is true of when we give away our content on the internet. Furthermore, I think that each person has been given certain traits and talents for the purpose of helping others by giving the results of those talents away. For example...When I give you what I have I get in return the opportunity to connect with you. And I believe connecting with others provides the deepest joy and fulfillment on this side of heaven. In the Kobe Bryant video we get to experience some form of connection with Kobe which makes us feel part of his community. Additionally, the video is/was launched on a communal medium (youtube) which provided even more community to form around the initial viral video.
