I just got a SearchDay newsletter announcing the "debut" of SEMPO and I guess they had quite a crowd, but I'm not sure 425 people qualify as a "throng"...
I'm not a big fan of search engine marketing (SEM) and will be glad when it's seen in the true light that it shoud be: a crutch for the SEO-imparied, or the greedy. That's cool, I don't mind if people spend money to make money. My problem is with SEM companies that do not disclose what SEO options are available, are affilates of the very services that they recommend their clients use, and anything else that is not is the client's best interest.
Did you see the membership fees SEMPO is asking for? Well, I guess good advertising costs money, so you have to pay. I find it interesting that all the SEO organizations and groups that are out there charge little or nothing and provide much better offerings, in my opinion.
But I guess that is the nature of paid search versus free search...
