@billy

I use Kenshoo and I would say you should give it another look if you can. The bid management tools can indeed help with your workload and the beat the snot out of the current Big 3. Bid management is never a replacement for good old monitoring manually, but I will say that for about 80% of my keywords it helps dramatically and has made me far more productive.

Laura – that’s a ridiculous answer. I’m sure that Marta wasn’t spending her time trolling around on forums, but was probably alerted to these posts by an automatic system.

No, I don’t work for WebTrends nor do I have any interest in their company – just keep your comments fair.

Marta – Rather than spending time responding to TechCrunch posts on why you’ve developed a bad product, shouldn’t you be working on improving it instead? Great product management.

How much does it usually cost to have an SEM solution like Kenshoo. Is there some literature I can get online? Sorry for being a complete newbie about this..

It is posible somebody could compare Omniture with Clickable and Kenshoo or Atlas, Doubleclick?

No, I’m definitely not serious. Well, I was about the congratulations, and the fact that I liked what I saw from Kenshoo. In fact, I’ve been telling people that for the past few weeks, and frankly I usually say pretty awful stuff about competitors, at least those that are awful. And I was serious about ClickEquations, I mean – it’s worth checking out.

On the other hand, maybe congratulations aren’t really in order. After all, the team just got diluted. Why does everyone think raising more money is a good thing? It’s a good thing for the company, but let’s be honest, it would be better for the folks involved if it didn’t have to happen.

As to our own TC post, I do wish we were good enough. I assure you we’re working on it.

Someone had mistakenly got me thinking that these comment things were to enable conversation, and within that if you had something relevant to say you could do so, as long as it was polite and those involved in the conversation might find it useful or interesting. Clearly however commercial speech doesn’t belong in a place like this. I’ll find that person and update them.

BTW; what’s your last name? I think I know, but I’m not sure.

Kirk,

Nice post.

Me thinks the following are all the same person:
* Felix
* Yannick
* Really

Their cheerleading is too obvious, and too transparent.

It’s amusing Max can’t find Yannick – probably ‘cos he doesn’t exist in real life!
