Adcenter now up and running

This probably isnt the right forum, but this has just launched, the rumors about their AdSense type program opening in June look to be true.

lol i would recommend you to check MSN section of this forum and see there

 

Cool thanks for posting. id be more interested in a publisher network though

 

Thanks for the post here, I don't often look at the MSN section.

 

this AdCenter seems pretty interesting, all this is going to create a huge competition over both publishers and advertisers !
Hope we'll be the winners after all

 

Hope MSN will beat Googles adwords.

 

This program has been going for some time. It is a competitor for Adwords, not Adsense. An Adsense type program would almost certainly pay less at this time if you go by their current ad rates.

 

Now that they're charging for keywords, one has to figure that they're going to adopt some of the google/yahoo algo's that prevent new sites from ranking too quickly. I hope not, but I'm willing to bet that's the case, but I hope I'm wrong.

 

I think there will be some sort of sandbox very quickly.

 

I don't think you have to worry about MSN changing their algo's overnight. With time I'm sure that MSN's results will move towards that standard that Google has, but it'll take time.

 

It's probably Opera mimics IE as it was earlier

 

As noted above -
Macintosh? What's that?
M$ dropped all support for the Mac at IE version 5.2.3

So, straightaway, they are willing to kiss off that particular 5% of the market (Apple), without even batting an eyelash.
And all the FireFox users - make that another 15%.
What kind of strategy is this?
Force everybody back to PCs? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-HAH!
Force everybody back to IE? Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-HAH!

 

I enrolled yesterday and the interface was pretty flaky. It appears much more stable today. I was able to get my keywords approved fairly quickly (within 1 hour) but I thought the CPC were pretty pricey.


Here are some examples:

body detox @ 2.72
detox body @ 4.75
drug test detox @ 8.23


Those prices are insane.

 

I bet they'll not be approving that niche soon, you know what I'm about...

 

can indian people use this now?

 

And that's how they want to beat Google
