Ivanka Trump “meeting” as prize in a Yahoo Search Marketing contest??

by Andrew

I just opened this e-mail today from Yahoo called the “Ultimate Connection Contest.” The prize includes $25,000 of Yahoo Search Marketing credits (pretty cool.) Oddly it also includes “An executive meeting with Ivanka Trump.”

For those of you who haven’t seen The Apprentice here in the states, Ivanka Trump is Donald Trump’s daughter. I looked at her bio on wikipedia and I saw nothing about pay per click marketing. I see things about her being a model, making television appearances, being on The Apprentice with her father, and getting a bacheler of science in economics. Perhaps Yahoo should replace her with someone like Jeremy Shoemaker or Aaron Wall? Just a suggestion.

If you are interested in the $25,000, check out this link.

  1. I thought she helped run some of her father’s businesses? Maybe she has general advice not really PPC advice? Either way if I won 25k in PPC money I’d want Shoe or Aaron not her!!

  2. Please, what a pathetic attempt to draw people in with pseudo celebrity. Uhh… most of us are in business here. Why don’t they just hand out front row seats for the apprentice or something. Not sure if they have a studio audience since I’ve never watched the show. Got my fill of Trump in the late eighties when he took over from his dad and was actually worth more than he is today.

  4. […] Two weeks ago I wrote a blog post calling into question a meeting with Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, as a grand prize for Yahoo Search Marketing’s “Ultimate Connection Contest.” […]
