Yes, indeed, OLPC has a very comfortable grant from Google Adwords. What I haven't had a lot of time to do is fine tune the keywords list and our ad's. Laptop.org still has a fairly bad volunteering/fundraising funnel so it's hard to make a case for spending time on driving more people to our website. Currently our adwords grant restricts all pages that we advertise to be at <a href="http://laptop.org">laptop.org</a>.<br>
<br><br>In the short term, if SL wanted to help me clean up <a href="http://laptop.org">laptop.org</a>'s pages about Sugar to:<br><br>1.) better explain the educational mission of Sugar (not just the technical details, but the philosophy)<br>
2.) drive / funnel volunteers and interested parties to SugarLabs.org, SoaS, etc<br><br>I can dedicate part of OLPC's adwords budget to this section of <a href="http://laptop.org">laptop.org</a>. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hi Tomeu, thanks for that<br>
<br>
I think Seth signed up OLPC for that last September, is that right Seth?<br>
<br>
We should certainly do so as well.<br>
<br>
Christian V, would you be interested in taking a look at this and<br>
making an adwords recommendation? We are already well-referenced in<br>
Google, particularly for Sugar on a Stick, but beyond that particular<br>
project we might want to bid on more general keywords.<br>
<br>
Seth, would you be willing to brief Christian, in particular so we<br>
don't bid on the same keywords?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
