Yahoo! A Date With Ivanka

The Ultimate Connection contest being run by Yahoo Search Marketing offers three winners a $25,000 search marketing budget, a trip to New York, and a meeting with Ivanka Trump.

Online entrepreneurs only have a day left to crank out their 500-word essays and send them in to Yahoo. Their competition has a deadline of May 30, 2007, at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time.

Yahoo’s Ultimate Connection is aimed at businesses that want an online edge. Their lineup of prizes for the trio of successful essayists will be capped with an executive meeting with Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, who oh by the way happens to be Dad’s Vice President of Development.

There are other goodies in store as well:

• A $25,000 Yahoo! Search Marketing budget
• A power lunch with your marketing mentor in New York City
• Access to your marketing mentor and a Yahoo! Search marketing mentor throughout the year
• A web site makeover from Yahoo! Small Business and FastPivot

If you take your laptop with you to lunch, this would be a good day to use some of that time to write up an entry and send it along to Yahoo.
