<div dir="ltr">Thanks Paul. Yeah I think it's worth it to us if our group head count increases with a maximum cost per acquisition of $1 per person. Meaning if it's $0.10 per click and 10 people click on the ad and then 1 person joins. The cost to acquire that member was $1 CPA.<br>
<br>I guess since i'm in the internet marketing business I just jump into these things. Keep on sending your suggestions for keywords...it can't hurt to test them out.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 6, 2008 at 10:05 PM, Paul Hildebrandt <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:paul_hildebrandt@yahoo.com">paul_hildebrandt@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I just found the group last night. I was likely one of those<br>
impressions (though I clearly didn't click through - I found the<br>
mailing list easily enough).<br>
<br>
You might trying throwing out "Pythonista", admittedly unofficial and<br>
potentially confusing. It is at least disambiguating and economical.<br>
<br>
Otherwise, Python developers would have worked on/for me.<br>
