Five thousand and still growing...

Back in September of 2005, we posted about an emerging resource that we thought our readers would find valuable: a user-to-user support forum on Google groups, called AdWords Help. This online community was designed to be a place to which advertisers could go, 24/7, to search or browse for answers, ask questions and share their knowledge about AdWords with others. At the time of the post, the forum had just reached 125 members and was showing real promise as a useful source of information for AdWords advertisers.

Evidently, a lot of you had your eye on the blog.

A few months later, in November, we noted that the group's membership had quadrupled since our previous post. Then, in January of this year, we were pleased to announce that the group had once again quadrupled in size -- having grown to 2100 members.

Today, we're quite excited to report another milestone: AdWords Help has now grown to more than 5000 members. (Yes, membership has merely doubled this time -- but 5000 does seems like a nice round number.)

That's a lot of folks helping each other, making the group a great source of information and insight. If you're not a member yet, we hope you'll explore the possibility.
