  &lt;p&gt;Those around the table reckoned it&#160;was likely to&#160;diminish the opportunity to target misspelled keywords in searches, but could attract more traffic to sites with generic brands as their URLs.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;But&#160;the tool's potential impact on the long tail of keywords was less clear&#160;- will it&#160;prompt some&#160;users&#160;to choose shorter but better-worded searches from its suggestions,&#160;while others&#160;end up selecting longer&#160;and more detailed ones?&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;It will be interesting to see how big an impact&#160;Google Suggest&#160;has on PPC and SEO in the long run,&#160;especially in light of apparent increases in navigational search and other new launches such as Google's Chrome browser.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, we have just started work on our first &lt;strong&gt;PPC Bid Management Technologies Buyer&#8217;s Guide&lt;/strong&gt;, which will nicely complement our Search Engine Marketing Buyer&#8217;s Guide (which is more focused on the search agency picture).&lt;br /&gt;
&#160;&lt;br /&gt;
As such, we have asked the following companies / technologies to submit profiles... do let us know if you think anyone is missing&#160;(&lt;em&gt;PS&#160;- proprietary bid management technology is a key requirement&lt;/em&gt;): Advertising.com (AdLearn), Atlas Search, td Searchware 4, ChannelAdvisor, Coremetrics, dc storm, Dart Search, Efficient Frontier, Kenshoo, Greelight (AdApt),&#160; MakeMeTop, Omniture SearchCenter, SearchForce and WebTrends.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;

    &lt;strong&gt;There was a lively discussion at a&#160;E-consultancy's recent&lt;/strong&gt;
    &lt;strong&gt;
      &lt;a href="http://econsultancy.com/reports/paid-search-briefing-october-2008"&gt;roundtable&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#160;&lt;strong&gt;about paid search marketing, with much of the talk predictably focusing on new services and policies from Google.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;One particularly hot topic was the potential impact of Google Suggest on searchers&#8217; behaviour from a&#160;marketer's perspective - something we've &lt;a href="/blog/2745-google-suggest-implications-for-seo"&gt;discussed&lt;/a&gt; before.&lt;/p&gt;
