"He sounds like he's clearly interested in you, and he enjoys showing his affection by texting. Some people are like that."
My boyfriend was like that when we first met. Between the first night we met at a bar and our first date a week or so later, we texted several times a day/night (at one point he actually asked me if he was bugging me. LOL I said, "Of course not!"). We still text/talk every day, sometimes several times a day. We actually talk on the phone more often now, but at first, it was mostly texting. Some people are texters, and some people are talkers. You just have to let him know you prefer talking if that's what you would rather do.
You won't really know until this plays out a little more what his intentions are. It did take about 3 days after the night we met for my boyfriend to ask me out. (But we texted back and forth regularly in those 3 days). Unfortunately, though, you really can't tell for sure if he IS interested in you unless you guys go out on some dates.

Maybe he's just a really busy guy and hasn't had the time to call or hang out since your last date?
Why not ask him to go out this time? ;)
|Mon, 09-20-2010 - 9:11am
He sounds like he's clearly interested in you, and he enjoys showing his affection by texting. Some people are like that.
I don't think a week is a long time to go without having another date yet, maybe he will ask you out again when he comes up with something interesting to do? I hope you let him know that you enjoyed the date and are looking forward to the next one.
|Mon, 09-20-2010 - 8:50am
I have no idea what he could be thinking. What kind of texts is he sending you? Next time he sends one, tell him to call you and actually talk in person.
Are you thinking he's BF material?
"Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest,
It's about those who came and never left your side ...."
|Sun, 09-19-2010 - 8:00pm
Continued texting sounds like interest to me. Can you perhaps let him know in a subtle way that another date would be welcome?
Edited 10/2/2010 10:19 pm ET by darling.carly
|Sun, 09-19-2010 - 4:28pm
Instead of wondering what the man is thinking, why don't you worry about what you're thinking? Do you like him enough to date him? If so, you need to set the rules, not him, and see if he meets your needs in a potential boyfriend. If you don't like unending texts with him, ignore his texts, and if he's interested enough, he'll call you to see what's up. If he asks you out again, and it's not clear if he wants a casual booty call type of relationship, or wants to date to see if you two would be compatible enough to become a couple, then ask him what he's interested in or looking for. It's not up to you to guess and waste your time.
If he's playing with you and not being clear,

Rockwell Collins is closing its Electromechanical Systems operation on Redhill Avenue in Irvine this summer and will lay off 140 workers, a company spokeswoman confirmed today.
Pam Tvrdy said the aircraft control systems work being done in Irvine will be transferred to Calexico, Calif., Mexicali, Mexico and Melbourne, Fla. Another 150 workers will be reassigned to the company's Tustin operation, she said.
The workers were advised Wednesday, Feb. 9, Tvrdy said. They will receive 60-day notices of layoff in May but may be able to transfer into other positions with the company.
Trvdy said that companywide, Rockwell Collins is hiring. The decision to close the Irvine plant was to gain efficiencies in the company's cabin system and electromechanical business, she said.

The mission of the Maker Education Initiative (Maker Ed) is to create more opportunities for young people to make, and, by making, build confidence, foster creativity, and spark interest in science, technology, engineering, math, the arts—and learning as a whole.
When children make things with their hands — whether it is a piece of art, craft, electronic gadget, robot, software, clothing, chemical concoction, or food — they are engaged in active learning while also having fun. They are developing confidence in their own capabilities and learning to learn. They can say proudly to others: "Look what I made!" Jean Piaget wrote that "to understand is to invent," and that the goal of education is to cultivate an experimental mind.

Everybody walks around with two phones but the majority use their personal device rather than the company BB's
Is the BB doomed? With a 64GB Playbook @ £129 inc vat its like the HP Tablet fire sale all over again.
How long can they hold out? What can they do to stay in the game? Should I care?
Oh how the mighty have fallen.
We would still have them if we were not forced to move to a secure email system which made the blackberry useless and turned it into an expensive smartphone with the software we had to use to comply to code of connection for our setup.
Any day I would go back to a local exchange, a BES and a BB.

On a recent flight from Miami to San Francisco, I met Juan Carlos and Lucretia, a delightful young Argentinian couple en route to a vacation in northern California. After learning that they were planning to go to Napa Valley, I suggested that they consider dining at the French Laundry, a French restaurant located in the picturesque town of Yountville, Calif. I mentioned that the French Laundry is often included in Restaurant Magazine's list of "The World's 50 Best Restaurants" and that it has been awarded three stars in the Michelin Guide to San Francisco.
As I rhapsodized about the various charms of Yountville, the historical significance of the restaurant building that dates from 1900, the beautiful vegetable gardens of the restaurant, and of course the sumptuous nine-course meals, I could sense that all three of us—especially Lucretia, who was smiling broadly—were in one accord, happily envisioning a future state of culinary delight.
But then Juan Carlos asked, "How much does it cost?" "Oh," I replied. "It's a prix fixe menu that I think will set you back about $300 per person, excluding wine and 'supplements.'"
At that, the conversation about dining at the French Laundry ended. It was clear from the pinched look on Juan Carlos' face that the price of an evening at the French Laundry would outweigh the experience. We began to talk about other topics instead.
In like manner, uncomfortable conversations are taking place in Washington, D.C., regarding the repeal of the unpopular, annually overridden SGR provision—and how to pay for its repeal.
There is currently bipartisan and bicameral support for a substantive piece of legislation: permanent repeal of the SGR, a formulaic approach intended to restrain the growth of Medicare spending on physician services. Per the SGR's arcane algorithm, by which cumulative actual spending is not to exceed cumulative targeted spending (with April 1, 1996, as the starting point for both), the update for the last nine months of 2014 is a reduction to the Medicare physician fee schedule (PFS) of 24.4 percent.
Lawmakers from the U.S. House Ways and Means, House Energy and Commerce, and Senate finance committees have collaborated to consolidate separate bills that their respective committees passed toward the end of 2013. The fruit of their labors is H.R. 4015, the SGR Repeal and Medicare Provider Payment Modernization Act of 2014, which was introduced by Rep. Michael C. Burgess (R-Texas), a physician, on Jan. 6, 2014.
The 195-page bill repeals the SGR and specifies annual updates to the PFS of 0.5 percent for 2014-2018, 0 percent for 2019-2023, and for 2024 and beyond, 0.5 percent for physicians not in alternative payment models (APMs)—such as accountable care organizations and patient-centered medical homes—and 1.0 percent for physicians in APMs.
In addition, H.R. 4015 grants physicians in APMs annual 5.0 percent bonuses (based on their prior year's payments) for 2018-2023 if at least 25 percent of the practice's Medicare revenue comes from APMs in 2018-2019, at least 50 percent in 2020-2021, and at least 75 percent in 2022 and beyond.
The bill also proposes a Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) that replaces and consolidates three Medicare quality payment programs: the electronic health record meaningful use incentive program, the Physician Quality Reporting System, and the Physician Feedback Program/Value-Based Payment Modifier.
At the end of February, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that H.R. 4015 would increase direct spending for the remaining nine months of 2014 through 2024 by $138 billion.a This compares with the CBO's 10-year cost estimates of $121 billion and $150 billion, respectively, for the House and Senate bills that formed the basis of the consolidated bill, with the inclusion of certain Medicare, Medicaid/Children's Health Insurance Program, and other "extenders" accounting for the higher cost of the Senate bill.
As with virtually all the previous legislative attempts to permanently repeal the SGR, often referred to as "doc fixes," H.R. 4015 does not identify any specific, realistic sources of funding—so-called "pay-fors" that would offset the increased government spending that repeal of the SGR would entail and allow the legislation to be deficit-neutral.
There certainly have been some creative doc-fix funding proposals in the past. In May 2012, Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-Pa.) introduced to the House the Medicare Physician Payment Innovation Act of 2012 (H.R. 5707), which proposed tapping savings from the reduction in military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, but that funding source was generally deemed implausible, and the bill died in a House committee. In February 2013, Rep. Schwartz introduced an updated version of the bill, the Medicare Physician Payment Innovation Act of 2013, which did not propose the use of military operations' savings.
In November 2013, Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), chairman of the health care subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Finance, urged the Senate to pass the Medicare Drug Savings Act (S. 740/H.R. 1588), which would require drug companies to provide rebates to the federal government on drugs used by people eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. The CBO estimated that this change would save Medicare $141.2 billion over 10 years, and Sen. Rockefeller proposed using those savings to pay for a permanent doc fix. As expected, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America opposed the legislation, and the bill did not make it out of the Senate finance committee.
In December 2013, House Joint Resolution 59—Continuing Appropriations Resolution, 2014 (PL 113-67) was passed by both houses of Congress and signed into law. It included the Pathway for SGR Reform Act of 2013, which specified a three-month temporary doc fix, providing a 0.5 percent update to the PFS for January through March 2014, staving off the aforementioned 24.4 percent reduction to physician payments.
That legislation bought Congress time to figure out how to pay for a permanent SGR repeal. Given the administration's current focus on implementing the Affordable Care Act and Republicans' continued opposition to the healthcare reform law, it is hard to imagine Congress passing a broad deficit-reduction plan that incorporates numerous new healthcare reform components that would together fund a permanent doc fix.
Because $138 billion is certainly not easy to come by, the source or sources of funding will need to be clearly identified. Based on what we have seen with past short-term SGR patches, the most likely funding scenario is some sort of robbing of Peter (e.g., other players in the healthcare system) to pay physician Paul, with hospitals possibly taking on the role of Peter and bearing the brunt of the financial burden.
However, as the American Hospital Association has pointed out, regulatory actions since 2010 have already reduced Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement to hospitals by $113 billion over the next 10 years, and this figure excludes payment reductions mandated by the Affordable Care Act.b
Democrats and Republicans alike are critical of the SGR, and politicians on both sides of the aisle in Congress envision a better future state in which the SGR has been repealed and replaced with a more stable system for reimbursing physicians, one that rewards improved quality and reduced cost.
With the expiration of the current SGR patch at the end of March and the undoubtedly more politically divisive environment in the fall leading up to the midterm elections, now is the time for Congress to be resourceful, creative, and courageous in moving the elephant of the SGR out of the room once and for all.

Kids love Halloween, mostly because it means getting large amounts of candy. For dentists, this means an increase in broken braces and lost fillings, which can potentially lead to expensive dental procedures. In response to this, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) has released a statement on how to maintain healthy teeth during this holiday. First, the organization suggested that parents monitor not only how much candy their children eat, but how long it takes them to eat it. Candy should be eaten right away, and not held in the mouth for long periods of time. Also, hard or chewy candies can damage dental work, so try to avoid letting kids consume excessive amounts of sweets that tend to stick to the teeth.The AAPD also suggested that parents of children under 8 or 9 should help their kids brush their teeth."Children really can't brush by themselves unless they can do one of three things: they can write cursive, they can tie their shoe or they can cut up a steak on a plate," stated Rhea Haugseth, president of the AAPD.Finally, the organization stated that children should visit the dentist every six months, so parents should encourage their kids not to be afraid but to see it as a fun experience.For more information on discount dental plans call 1-888-632-5353.

Lost Identity
Take a look at these guys on their album cover. They look pretty confident. They appear to be hip dudes. It doesn¹t really seem they met in high school or college. I bet they met at a really cool job. Or maybe through a want ad in the back of Rag? Nope. The handy press release on my desk mentions they met when the four members ³were thrown together for a jam session in 2001.² Now, if you call your band Skidmark, you¹re asking for a fecal joke. You¹re asking for chuckles and guffaws and snickers and scoffs and ewwwwws. I guess they¹re hoping the five tracks on this CD will cause a spontaneous bowel movement? That it will send listeners scrambling to the bathroom, holding their pant leg, because that guitar solo on ³U Can¹t Change Me² just killed it? Damn it, this band is an enigma. It¹s causing me to think too... hard. Uh-oh. Excuse me. -- Audra Schroeder

Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush
~ Group
Mahogany Rush is a Canadian rock band led by guitarist Frank Marino. The band had its peak of popularity in the 1970s, playing such venues as California Jam II together with bands such as Aerosmith, Ted Nugent and Heart.
The band is perhaps best known for Marino's soaring lead guitar which bears a strong resemblance to the playing of Jimi Hendrix. Long term members of the band have included founding bassist Paul Harwood and drummer Jimmy Ayoub, and Frank's brother Vince on guitar; Frank Marino is the sole continuous member of the band. In 1980, the group toured as Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush, and after Ayoub left the group a couple of years later, it simply became Frank Marino, which is the name which remains to this day. After a long absence, the band toured the United States in October 2006.Continue reading at Wikipedia... Wikipedia content provided under the terms of the Creative Commons BY-SA license

(Updates with comment from economist in eighth paragraph.)
Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- European industrial production unexpectedly rose for a second month in August as increasing output in countries from France to Portugal and Italy offset a German decline.
Production in the 17-nation euro area advanced 1.2 percent from July, when it rose 1.1 percent, the European Union's statistics office in Luxembourg said today. That's the biggest gain since November 2010. Economists forecast a drop of 0.8 percent, the median of 32 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey showed. In the year, output increased 5.3 percent.
Europe's export-led recovery is losing some momentum as governments struggle to contain the region's 19-month fiscal crisis just as global demand falters. Euro-region manufacturing output contracted in September, economic confidence plunged to the lowest in almost two years and the International Monetary Fund lowered its growth forecasts for this year and next.
"We'll still have a relatively robust third quarter in the euro region," said David Milleker, chief economist at Union Investment GmbH in Frankfurt, one of two economists in the Bloomberg survey who forecast an increase. "Still, pressure is increasing and that's obviously a reason for concern. We have a series of negative factors."
The euro extended gains after the report, trading at $1.3776 at 1:18 p.m. in Brussels, up 1 percent on the day. The Euro Stoxx 50 Index advanced as much as 1.4 percent.
German Decline
In the 27-member EU, output rose 0.9 percent from July, today's report showed. Among the member states for which data are available, production rose in 12 and dropped in 10. Portugal had the highest monthly gain.
In Germany, Europe's largest economy, which has powered the region's economic expansion, industrial output dropped 1 percent from July, when it rose 3.9 percent. In France, the region's second-biggest economy, production advanced 0.6 percent, while Spain reported an increase of 1.3 percent. In Ireland and Italy, output also rose in that period. Greece reported a drop of 1.4 percent.
Today's report "is a pleasant surprise and may reduce fears that euro-zone economic activity might have contracted in the third quarter," said Martin van Vliet, an economist at ING Groep NV in Amsterdam. Still, "the risk of a recession, later down the road, remains high."
The economy may struggle to gather strength after expanding just 0.2 percent in the second quarter. Commerzbank AG said in an e-mailed note last month that the region "looks set to slip into recession" over the coming months, when forecasting the economy to stall in 2012.
The European Commission on Sept. 15 cut its euro-region growth forecasts for the second half and warned the economy may come "close to standstill at year-end." The IMF in Washington on Sept. 20 also lowered its growth projections for the euro region, Germany and France for this year and next.
Daimler AG, the world's largest maker of heavy-duty vehicles, said on Sept. 19 it expects truck sales to keep growing, even as global growth falters. German rival MAN SE is monitoring the impact on demand from Europe's crisis.
Euro-region output of capital goods jumped 2.1 percent from July, when it rose 3.2 percent, the statistics office said. Production of intermediate goods and non-durable consumer goods rose 1.7 percent and 1.1 percent, respectively. Energy output failed to grow after rising 0.1 percent in July.
'Systemic Dimension'
The European Central Bank on Oct. 6 kept its benchmark interest rate at 1.5 percent and extended liquidity measures to support banks. President Jean-Claude Trichet, who will be replaced by Italy's Mario Draghi at the end of the month, said he sees "intensified downside risks" to the growth outlook.
"The crisis has reached a systemic dimension," Trichet told European lawmakers in Brussels yesterday. "Sovereign stress has moved from smaller economies to some of the larger countries."
European officials are seeking to meet an end-of-month deadline set by French President Nicolas Sarkozy to get to grips with the crisis, which has pushed Greece close to default. Governments are working out how to scale up the European Financial Stability Facility's firepower without requiring another round of parliamentary approvals.
Trichet along with U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner this week is scheduled to attend a Group of 20 finance chiefs meeting in Paris as investors grow increasingly concerned that the fiscal crisis will hurt global growth.
"The outlook for the world's major economies is continuing to darken," said Alan McQuaid, chief economist at Bloxham Stockbrokers in an e-mailed note before today's report. "Many major western economies are teetering on the brink of recession as they struggle to repay inflated levels of debt."

CheckConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
We report the 3.4 angstrom crystal structure of a catalytically active group I intron splicing intermediate containing the complete intron, both exons, the scissile phosphate, and all of the functional groups implicated in catalytic metal ion coordination, including the 2'-OH of the terminal guanosine. This structure suggests that, like protein phosphoryltransferases, an RNA phosphoryltransferase can use a two-metal-ion mechanism. Two Mg2+ ions are positioned 3.9 angstroms apart and are directly coordinated by all six of the biochemically predicted ligands. The evolutionary convergence of RNA and protein active sites on the same inorganic architecture highlights the intrinsic chemical capacity of the two-metal-ion catalytic mechanism for phosphoryl transfer.

A healthy and well-maintained PPC campaign is a great way to bolster your business and generate substantial leads to your company, but the more your campaigns grow, the more time and effort you'll need to expend to managing them. The amount of time you spend in managing your PPC campaigns might soon end up outweighing the benefits of your increased online presence. There are many benefits of using PPC management software; they provide you with solutions to managing, measuring, and optimizing your search campaigns. Although they can sometimes be an expensive investment, there are those who feel that the time they regain through automation is worth more than the money they pay for the service.
In this post, we'll give a comprehensive review on PPC management software that have ranked at the top of our list, while exploring the many aspects of automated PPC management. There are many interesting points to the topic and we feel that the information we'll provide here will help you better decide if the benefits of using PPC management software is well worth your money.
The Man versus Machine Debate
The web is now full of automated PPC software like Google's DoubleClick and Marin's Management suite. As search engine marketers, we are now in a time where we have to ask ourselves some very honest questions about we plan our management activities using automation.
Some of these questions are:
- How is it going to benefit me and my business?
- How much am I going to be charged for it?
- How much time will I really be saving?
And last but not the least:
- Do I really need it?
Rise of the PPC machines
The core question most advertisers have always been asking is "shouldn't we just employ someone to just do the tasks instead?" This argument would still go back to the debate of whether it's better to have people do the work than leave it to the hands of a carefully structured program.
The popularity of PPC management software has increased dramatically in the last few years due to the influence of search engine marketing in its entirety. People are now turning to gadgets such as computers, smartphones, and tablets to conveniently shop, do business, and look for certain services online. It's no wonder that platforms like paid search have become a vital part to increasing a business's revenue. The domino effect of this is that organizations are now developing countless campaigns with thousands of keywords and a huge storage of data available on tap.
The key role of automation software is to assist us in managing and making sense of all that takes place in our accounts. So let's take a look at some of the relevant issues that will help us understand more about the benefits of using PPC management software.
Automated Task Management
We all know how boring and tiring it is to perform monotonous tasks like wading through tests for ad splits, dynamic budget, bid adjustments, or pools of huge amounts of data. It's not something a lot of us wake up to everyday and look forward to doing.
The feeling of redundancy is even more apparent if you're working for a large company with heaping amounts of data coming in and you need to perform the above tasks regularly. This is why you need PPC management software to make the load lighter for you, and so you can invest your valuable time on other things that can help the company, or on personal tasks that need addressing. We all know how hard it can be to stay on top of these tasks when there are other things on your mind that you should be worrying about.
The following are the main reasons for why many in the industry are turning to PPC management platforms:
- The deed for tools that help in bid management have increased greatly
- Competition is getting higher
- The cost of hiring advertisers are increasing
- More and more advertisers are entering paid search marketing
This means that your accounts are going to become harder to manage manually, and keeping your campaigns' performance consistent will gradually become more difficult.
We did our research and have come up with a number of advantages that make using PPC management software a very lucrative alternative to managing your campaigns. Take time to think about them, and see if it's about time for you to get into automated PPC management to boost your online business's productivity levels.
Better Time Management. It takes a great amount of time and effort to expand your campaigns and optimize them. Automating certain management features means that you'll be able to free up more time. We know that as a business owner, time is of the essence! In fact, you may see time as shiny gold bullions and if you don't use time wisely, you'll miss out on getting any. The more time you have available, the more you can use it to be more creative and come up with better strategies that you can test out within the account. This, in turn, lets you create more opportunities to grow your overall business.
Easier Reporting. One of the great benefits of using PPC management software is how it makes the reporting much easier for you. Most of the software include fully automated reporting features that let you track and report on specific keywords and their performance. You automatically get a relatively easy-to-understand visual representation of how your campaigns are going and how your hard work has paid off.
Faster Optimization. It's time consuming digging through mountains of data just to find that single piece of information to take action on. What most PPC management software can do is to make it easier for you to find out which keywords and creatives are your top contributors. You also quickly see which ones are dragging your campaign down. Knowledge of these things makes it faster for you to make a couple of tweaks here and there to optimize your PPC campaign performance.
More Consistency In Numbers. The PPC industry can be a very dangerous landscape to do business in. Competitors come and go all the time which leads to bids fluctuating wildly and frequently in a given day. If you're not using PPC management software such as a bid management platform, it's highly likely that your CPA will also fluctuate wildly.
It's through the use of a great bid management platform that you can overcome these inconsistencies and generate stable results, based on up-to-date information. Every business appreciates and values predictability.
Increased Chances for Innovation and High Level Thought. When you're busy trying to manually manage your PPC campaigns, it becomes increasingly hard for you to reach that level of creativity and innovation that could make a big impact on your business. Because today, people are always attracted to what seems new or unique.
It's hard to come up with those ideas if you're time is constantly consumed just from account management. This is one of the great reasons why the benefits of using PPC management software far outweigh what it is you have to pay for it.
- Kenshoo – This is company that boasts a smart and caring team that's gifted with the ability of effective strategizing for your business. Any time of the day, whenever you have a question or need some help with your PPC account, they are always willing to lend a hand.
What's so great about Kenshoo?
Kenshoo is loaded with features that make managing your PPC campaign easier. Scheduled actions, Kenshoo Editor, and advanced search make it easy for you to schedule changes across different search engines. You also have the option to use their automated reporting which saves you a lot of time.
Here are more of the advantages that you get from using Kenshoo:
- Work with a creative team who are always building new innovative products
- Immerse in a unique learning experience about digital advertising
- Access to many top advertisers in the business.
Let's not just stick to the good stuff. Let's take a look at the cons of using this software:
- Not a lot are accustomed to the grid interface that Kenshoo has.
- Users have reported occasional issues about pulling campaigns uploaded through a non-Kenshoo platform into Kenshoo.
So far, Kenshoo has delivered what it promises to their clients. We're happy with what they're doing, and it's good to know that everyone else thinks so too. They are constantly innovating and looking for ways to stay ahead of competition.
One of the biggest benefits of using PPC management software like Kenshoo is the increase of team productivity. In addition to tracking and attribution, Kenshoo lets you adjust the attribution model and take action based on the acquired data.
- Marin Software – Overall, Marin is a great tool to use and it comes highly recommended to online marketers looking for a way to manage large accounts spanning multiple search networks. They're most effective when search campaigns carry a large budget and have more complex conversion goals, which make it a good fit for large clients looking to work within AdWords and Bing for digital marketing.
It's a good choice for large business that needs automation to save time, or need to make regular bulk changes to their PPC accounts. We all want a good ROI from our PPC accounts, but this can be difficult to track when the numbers are coming in from everywhere. Marin can serve as a bridge between the two. You have the ability to set what your target ROI is, how much to boost your bids are revenue calculations are done, and what positions you want to target.
Accounts that aren't large enough don't need the functionality that Marin offers. And if the account is not set up properly, the calculations can easily get out of hand. It also falls short when it comes to integrating other vendors, and we have found other PPC management software that does a better job in this aspect.
When it comes to using Marin, think carefully about your profit margins and the implications of getting low and unimpressive positions, or else you'll be losing money instead of making them.
- Acquisio – There are two main benefits to using Acquisio, and they pretty much also highlight the benefits of using PPC management software for business accounts.
- Less time to generate and pull reports
- Access to state-of-the-art bidding tools
The best feature of the platform for us would have to be the interface Acquisio has for navigating through the Report Center. From here, you have the option of creating nifty report templates that can be used for your account multiple times.
Typical reports sent out to clients may include campaign data for each of their search engine platforms and Facebook accounts, a comprehensive breakdown of stats for the entire month, and a report on whether or not the company is on course to hitting conversion and spending targets.
Acquisio also has one of the most advanced attribution modeling offered. This enables clients to assign values to impressions, clicks, and conversions across multiple channels and by time.
- Acquisio doesn't have a spell checker in its reporting system. This might not be a very big deal for those of you who aren't sensitive to misspellings, but for some it's a snag.
- The Mass Editor appears more like a carbon copy of AdWords editor in terms of layout and style, minus most of the features.
- Monthly fee is based on the percentage of spend, which could mean a lot of money if the company decides to increase their daily spend.
It looks like you can reap the benefits of using PPC management software with Acquisio, but then again, it's not for everyone. It does have its advantages, but the experience of most of our clients also tells us that there are still a number of downsides that could have been improved. Overall, it's still one of the most popular PPC management software this 2014.
