No…the biggest thing in 2007 is going to be paid match, a completely new form of “keytraits not keywords” advertising that will rock conventional advertising–including paid search (sorry Google)–to its very foundation…

…and Anon…thanks for the offer…I’ll take that wallet now :)

I would say Teleflip is the favorite.

Which ones do you think are worth investing in?

Sounds funny but my question to them is
“Do you have a way to get to my wallet”?

Because at the end of the day thats what matters.
