Each contestant's sweater was judged based on unique features, creativeness, effort input, tackiness, awesomeness, and even repulsiveness. General enthusiasm was also taken into account.

After a vote was taken, the following were our top 3 winners (pictured here with fabulous prizes):

    Pay Per Click 'Rock Star' Wanted

    September 15, 2007

    rockStarPass.jpgA few weeks ago the Nickelback Summer "All the Right Reasons" 2007 tour arrived here in Raleigh, NC. My brother-in-law is good friends with the lead singer (Wes) for one of the supporting acts for the Nickelback tour, Puddle of Mudd. One of the perks of having a family member know a 'rock star' so well is access to a couple of backstage passes. Our pass allowed us full access to the restricted areas back stage including the dressing rooms, the band-member's catering area, and in the case of the Puddle of Mudd performance, right on stage while the band performed.

    Here at ROI Revolution we have an immediate opening for a single backstage pass to one of our 'rock star' Pay Per Click teams.

    Here are the details from our the careers section of our website:

    Searching For Experienced PPC Specialist

    June 8, 2007

    google-light.jpgWe at ROI Revolution are searching for a talented, creative individual with at least six months experience with pay-per-click advertising to join our team in Raleigh, NC.

    Well, I bet you are wondering what it is like to work at ROI. Let me share some of my personal experience with you.

    I started working at ROI in September of 2006 and have never looked back. I completely set up pay-per-click campaigns from start-to-finish—from researching industries and keywords, to writing ad text, to campaign strategy, to bidding. It's great because I have the control to do work without someone standing over my shoulder. I can take my own creative liberties, but I have the comfort of working in a team—so if I need input or assistance from a teammate, there is always someone there!

    Plus, there is prestige in working here as ROI is 1 of only 11 authorized Google Analytics consulting firms in the nation.

    NCAA Tournament Contest Update

    March 19, 2007

    Failure...If you're following the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, then you're probably well aware of how crazy the weekend was. Hopefully you've also entered our Elite Eight Contest and, if you're doing better than I am with your picks, you've got a good chance to win a really beautiful pearl necklace from Magnum's Jewelers. It's worth $500, so even if you're not a huge basketball fan, you really have no excuse not to enter.

    Saturday saw three games that went into OT, but Sunday came with the sad realization (at least for Shawn and I) that the upsets were not to be. Aside from UNLV's win over Wisconsin and perhaps Vanderbilt's narrow triumph over Washington State in the Battle of the Derricks (Byars and and Low), it was par for the course. To put my own spin on a common sports writer's cliche, Goliath went home with David's little slingshot as a trophy.

    Contest Update and Shawn's Picks

    March 16, 2007

    basketball2.jpgWell, things are really heating up in the NCAA men's tournament, and in our Elite Eight Contest. (By the way, if you haven't entered yet, you're missing a tremendous opportunity to win a great prize).

    After a somewhat disappointing day for upset-lovers, things are looking a little more promising on this second day of the First Round. There are quite a few upset Duke fans (not including myself, I'm from New York) roaming around the office today. Maybe upset isn't quite the word. It's more like.... stunned, really.

    As someone who picked VCU to pull off the upset, I definitely gained some ground. Sadly, it seems I cheer for the underdog way too often and find myself in dead last in our own office pool. It looks like you'd be wise to avoid my suggestions. Anyway, here are my Elite Eight picks, along with a little reasoning to go along with the selections.

    March Madness 'Elite Eight' Contest

    March 14, 2007

    basketball.jpg Here at ROI we're just crazy for statistics, and being in the heart of college basketball country, we also go a little nuts at tournament time. So we decided to have a little office pool where the winner gets a free lunch.

    In the same spirit, we'd like to give you the opportunity to participate in the fun! Instead of picking the entire tournament, however, you just need to pick the winners from the elite eight on. Why? Well, we're giving you the opportunity to win a gorgeous pearl necklace (valued at $500) from Magnums Jewelers at www.magnums.net just in time for mother's day. All you have to do is send us your picks before the first Sweet Sixteen game on March 22nd!

    Here's how:

    1. Pick your elite eight, final four, final and champion on our entry form.


    2. Fill out some simple contact info so that we can let you know if you've won the beautiful $500 pearl necklace.


    3. Sit back and watch the action! If your entry has picked the most winners, then you'll win the prize!
