It looks like some of the early enthusiasts, me included, have gotten <br> busy, so I would support whatever you guys decide to do by way of <br> planning. I trust you'll mutually come to an agreement on initial <br> plans, and keep members in the loop, but I suggest that Adam Audette <br> guide (if not precisely head up) the process.

Don't know how much help I'll be, but I'm here if you need me. :) <br> <p>Oh, and I've got a domain name with SEO in it that I bought a while <br> back and haven't done anything with, if we need it. <br> <p>-jeremy

Acquisio: <br> Thanks for the summary, Brian! That's super helpful. I have a contact <br> at Adapt, and he's been super helpful to answer questions. I held off <br> due to life changes and changes in business model. Been looking at <br> Acquisio business card day after day... :-) Your point is a good <br> launch pad to make the call. Thanks again!

I don't know if I ever saw the original post, but I would be happy to pitch <br> in!

Great to pick this back up, Andrew. <br> Eric, thanks for the offer. For others interested in being involved, <br> please post here and we can assemble a short list of names for the core <br> group. Then we can take it to next steps from there. <br> I think if this was done well it could be very valuable. As Andrew <br> points out, we need to watch the typical SEO self-promo junk closely though.

Andrew, <br> I still stand by my offer to head this up. Or, at least be intimately <br> involved. I've got a server, so hosting it and installing Media Wiki can all <br> be done with relative ease. <br> Just let me know. <br> Eric Odom <br> Plurk: <a target="_blank" rel=nofollow href="http://www.plurk.com/user/ericodom">[link]</a> <br> Twitter: <a target="_blank" rel=nofollow href="http://twitter.com/ericjodom">[link]</a> <br> Facebook: <a target="_blank" rel=nofollow href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=699281645">[link]</a>

Hi folks, apologies if I'm jumping into this mid-stream. Obviously <br> wiki plans here were sidelined by resources / participants' time <br> constraints. What we had planned to do was have a small committee of <br> volunteers and moderators come up with an initial plan, including <br> reviewing Wiki software to potentially post this on a website (same

I liked Adapt too, but their pricing model isn't as friendly to agencies as <br> Acquisio's. That was our deciding factor. Adapt's optimization is more <br> automated, was pretty cool for sure, while Acquisio's optimization tool is <br> more of a decision-making tool (and needs to hurry up and incorporate <br> ROAS!). But Acquisio is adding features fast and enthusiastic about

late to the discussion but to continue... Note to self, remember to <br> log into primary Gmail account, since I now browse &quot;logged out&quot; and <br> watch this group. <br> <p>ICAAN? Thought it was appropriate that their site got hacked. Not <br> wishing bad on them, but... <br> <p>Google AdPlanner?

Don't know what I was smoking the other day. <br> <p>Brian, I'll send you the QS example off-list. It's a new company <br> entering a pretty brand-dominated market. Competitors with deep <br> pockets, and probably paying Google tens of millions a year in PPC <br> spend. Not likely to compete for the big traction phrases without

That's funny. Adam on caffeine is hilarious. <br> I'll address two of them- <br> - *Quality Score*: I don't know- it doesn't bother me! What specific <br> scenarios are buggin' you? Rarely do I have an account where I can't get <br> any traction. And the one I'm thinking of had a website with some serious <br> identity and conversion problems.

Alright let's get the party back crackin' in here ;) <br> <p>What do we think about ICAAN's big new idea? I'm cynical about the <br> whole thing, so I'll keep my mouth shut. <br> <p>Anyone have access to the Google AdPlanner beta? Is it cool, I hear it <br> is. Here they come taking over more of the web with their stellar free
