I thought it was awesome. I didn't see you there... (I was the one stuffing my face with the delicious food.)

It was very informative and I feel so much better about AdWords and using it as an extra service for my clients.

My mind is still racing with all the information I received. I can't wait to start with Google Engage and get Google Partner certification. I'm very excited about it.

Dylan, thank you so much for sending me the invitation. I feel like I've got a whole new department to ad to my business.

I really appreciate it. :)

My brain's CPU fan can't keep up with the heat it is generating from all the thinking.

I loved it. It was so awesome. Adwords and Analytics is going to become my second best friends. Google search is my best friend :)

I also cant wait for my email to come to say that my Engage application is white listed :)

First priority is to get the certification to get that nice shiny logo on my website :)

Thanx Dylan. I think next time we must wear MSB badges so we can see each other :)

Only thing that worries me a bit is. There are so many small businesses which do what we do. Isnt the market for website design and SEO/SEM going to be flooded?

I felt like the peanut in a fancy box of Lindt chocolates between all the people.

I think it's best to start another topic on that.

About wearing badges - I actually wanted to wear a branded shirt, but couldn't find a decent one to print on.

I did send an email out to all attendees, with my number, saying that we would meet at the venue just before 9.

John Golden from Verjon hosting had kindly offered to give me a lift from Pretoria. Unfortunately he ended up being the only MSB member I met.

Must say that I am rather disappointed that members did not make the effort to get together...

The Google Engage url in the book they gave us doesn't work!

www.google.co.za/engage/engage

I think I signed up at the US site the first time, so I want to redo... Suppose I will just Google it!

I think the reason we missed each other was because I was looking for a guy who looked like a sail boat... and you were looking for a guy with the face of a dog with a long red tongue??? :cheer:

I do apologize for not putting more effort in finding you, but all the people there was a bit overwhelming and I was getting back to my clients in the breaks, and the food was distracting and I came late... and I can come up with plenty other excuses as well.

I feel bad, because you really did do us a big favor. :(

But soon with the technology of google+, I can chat to you over the web cam like you were in the same room as me... Hang on a sec. I'm gonna look for you now. :)

Okay... I just added you in my circle of friends. It is very difficult to be in that circle, but I do respect you, and you deserve it.

Thanks again for the Google Engage invite.

Your Friend

Lohan :cheer:

Dylan: Use this link www.google.co.za/adwords/engage

I only saw your number on the forums after I was at the venue already. That was just past 9. Actually was when I was inside the room when I got it.

All the people was a bit overwhelming.

Thanks again for the invite.

Lohan is your Engage acc approved yet?

I signed up a week or 2 ago.

I followed the link in the book they gave us as I wanted to check on it, but it didn't work.

The link above says that it's pending.

Anyone else approved yet?
