This site did not exist a week ago, so I am glad you found it! I announced the tournament in the members only area of webmaster world. It costs about a hundred bucks a year to be a member and worth every penny.

There are other games afoot regarding Pubcon. You can see a photo of one of our invited poker guests Dax in Shoemoney’s post about their Party Like an SEO rockstar. Dax is the one with his pants down.

Since this site has a page rank of 0 being brand new, I figure the links will probably have a value of like -1.

I have gotten some great e-mails of support, first from the BOTW guys offering to sponsor or donate to the charity.

I also have got a great e-mail and got some great wisdom from Clarke Douglas Walton who is an internet attorney and has a Vegas firm called Walton Law Firm.

Hey, when your Page Rank is 0 on a new site, it is easy to throw links around!

It was very cool though of both of the above to offer help the first day of the announcement.

I almost have the agreement with one of the most popular, elegant, and hip casinos in town for the poker tournament. I am still looking for feedback as to what the best night will be, and then I will wrap up the agreement and announce the casino.

Texas Holdem has been suggested as the game of choice, and it is also the most popular tournament poker game, but I am still open ears for advice.

I am intentionally not going to link to any bad neighborhoods on this blog even though we are discussing poker for obvious reasons. I am looking for someone who has a non gambling site (meaning good neighborhood) who would like to give the rules of the poker game we choose. I also am looking for someone who can either run on my site, or host on theirs a place where those who don’t know how to play poker can practice online without money being involved.

Please let me know what charity you support as well as what night sounds the best.

I have gotten the approvals from the interested parties about the Party and Poker Tournament and it is on!

The exact details will be worked out in the upcoming week or two. There will be a limited number of entries available, so if you are really interested, check back on this blog frequently.

This will be a Poker Tournament for Pubcon attendees with a large portion of the money going to charities, a little going to the casino for hosting and the rest going to the winners.

I will not be getting a dime off of it.

Here is what I know, Brett Tabke said in response to the event, and I quote, “cool”.

I am working on a post Poker Tournament party location that looks over the strip at one of the best restaurants in Vegas.

The Poker Tournament should be at one of the top hotels on the strip, but I need to get the date and time set in stone before I announce that too.

This will be a Poker Tournament and Party for the Pubcon masses. It is especially being held for the guy from Bangladesh who has never been to the U.S. before and knows no one, the guy from Birmingham who just set up his first htacces file, and the girl from Buenos Aires whose parents forbid her to come but she came anyway.

Matt, Danny and even Craig are invited, although if Craig gets flagged too many he will be removed. (I’M JUST KIDDING!)

Mostly I am hoping that having this will attract two luminaries of the search community, Stefan Juhl and Dax.

I want to hear from people the following things;

1. What date and time should the Tournament start?

2. How much should the buy in be? The higher it is the more the payout at the end, but the less people can afford it.

3. What charities should benefit?

Let me know anything you want or don’t want for this event as it will be evolving over the next week or two.

Much Love,

Last year I had the pleasure of attending my first Pubcon. I made a lot of new friends, but did not get to meet nearly as many of them as I would have liked to.

There was other chatter on the Internet by other guys new in the ranks who wanted to go to smaller parties during Pubcon where they could rub elbows with each other and make more SEO-SEM-PPC-Developer-Local-Webmaster-Affiliate friends!

So I have been in the works to solve this. An everyone’s event, where it does not matter how much you spent in adwords, or what continent you grew up on. In fact, even Mac people will be invited.

Within a few days I will start going over the specifics of it here.
