Any chance this year will be different?
I am hoping to receive my first gift this year :D Hopefully..
I wrote December 2008 the thread, can CTR get anything worse.
This December, even the CTR of December 2008 would be great as a christmas gift.
I don't care what the gift is; I look at it as a trophy for years of hard work.
I know there are difficulties across cultures and religions.
I'd rather they just give us a ca$h bonu$ instead of wasting money on some branded junk.
It would be interesting to know what percent of the stuff that ends up in landfills is directly attributable to corporate marketing departments. I bet the figures would easily rival disposable diapers.

Ahh, imagine all the coffee mugs.
Merry Christmas, Google!
Would be a great christmas present for publishers
to buy it at a special price and earlier.
All of the presents are going to high spend Adwords advertisers no doubt.
In the past the better prsents have gone to the Adword accounts, which is perfectly fine. I'd take some Google stickers, an eCard, anything.
I dont really mind the present part but I have hundreds of partners still send us a ecard or real card and many still send gifts. Seems strange to not even send out a ecard which literally costs nothing.
On the other hand, some feel that Google does not make sufficient gestures to show their appreciation for the publishers. Is that what is at root of the discussion?
You know, as far as gestures by Google, ASA was at PubCon, looking forward to meeting with many of you. I was disappointed with the lack of turnout by members of this forum. Where were you? I even arranged a dinner out with ASA so the publishers can meet face to face with ASA who was there to meet face to face with you. Only about eight of you turned up. Opportunties don't always come knocking. Sometimes you have to go to opportunity itself. Hope to see more of you at PubCon next year.

Where was MY invitation?
You can't turn up to events you aren't notified about!
Where were you?
Facing the realities of the European recession!
I bet it would cost me well upwards of USD 2,000.00 to attend, that's one heck of an expensive dinner even for me :-)
Hope to see more of you at PubCon next year.
Any chance it will ever be held in Reno or Tahoe? Then I'd have half a chance of being there as that's my neck of the woods.

A lot of us don't live where PubCon is being held and some of us will probably never attend a PubCon. We are too busy living in the real world.
