For this project, the aim is to make a bid manager that handles all bidding across Google and Overture worldwide, as well as some of the lesser ppc search engines, and generates xml product feeds for froogle, bizrate, and nextag as well.
The bidding decisions are automated and based on rules such as "bid gap", or by ROI based on leads or sales, and are configurable in campaigns.
To get an idea of what we are looking for, look at [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] , which is basically a stripped down version of atlas.
Another software to look at is [login to view URL] for a comparison of layouts, but we are looking for a web based software that can handle all the bidding for hundreds of thousands of keywords, and have multiple agencies, account managers, and clients.
For Google, the google API is the code we must use, and we will register as a developer with Yahoo, and go through the certification process to be accepted as a developer for them
Also note that these softwares both incorporate a web stats module within the system to calculate ROI and also make reports of the results of activitiy on a given website as part of the system.
