I second the kid disco nomination!
Hi Lee. Thanks for mentioning the Marketing Pilgrim SEM finalists. Myself and everyone involved in the AIDS Clickathon are really excited to be among the finalists.
As one of the leaders in the online marketing field, I would be interested to hear your take on the AIDS Clickathon and the viral marketing methods we used, both positive comments and constructive criticism would be very valuable. Anything we can do to improve the Clickathon and better spread of the word about it will result in more help for the orphans in Kenya who really need it.
Thanks,
Paul (OurChurch.Com / AIDSclickathon.com)
Kid Disco FTW!
