hmmm nice code guys,the idea of grouping based on the most popular 2/3 word phrases is definately a break through here. i've been doing a lot of work recently with the google keyword tool api and my initial reaction to running a few lists of words through these groupers is that for a production model (erect) i'd add the ability to re scrape keywords for any 2 word phrases that have less than 'n' number of keywords grouped. it would be like running a spider and could work well if the ability to re filter returned lists based on the keyphrase was taken in to account and a recursion factor of 1 was used. as the G api is currently priced at 200 pulls for a $1 (!!) you could make some monster targetted lists this way. great for the content network.

i'll have a go at writing a grouper myself later today as i have some ideas about varying the percentage variable on recurring filter passes and a few other ideas but i want to test a theory first.

... you've really got to extract before sending to the filter. I'm personally excited about getting to use metaphone to round up all the misspellings, but I've not really found a use yet for soundex. Anyone care to shed some light on this function?

Both metaphone and soundex are used for mispellings . If you try for ex computing the metaphone(phreak) and metaphone(freak) it will give you the same result. The difference between these two functions is that metaphone is an improvement over soundex. It "understands" more english rules of how words sound and is generally more accurate. So IMHO you don't need soundex at all . Metaphone , in this program , should be used just to find mispellings that similiar_text "maybe" doesn't catch. Just my 2cents
 
Hey guys, any updates on your project(s)? Very curious to know, you see.. Cause you had some amazing ideas in progress...
 
i know of a ppc campaign management/automation tool which cost around $100k to make. too bad it's not for sale or available for public use.

good luck to anyone who tries to make something like that.

all you people who are talking about soundex functions or quoting a few thousand $'s sound like total n00bs.
 
Shortly after my last post I figured out a way to fix what I called the "scattering" of the groups. It would probably be better described as a disjointedness of groups. I just iterated over the groups again and applied a different method to consolidate the groups that belong together.
