How good is adcenter?

    I would like to know how good adcenter is compared to Yahoo and Google PPC programs.
    Are the keywords cheaper? How well do the clicks convert? How much traffic do you get?
    Please enlighten me as I am considering whether or not to give it a shot.

    Of the 3 you mentioned, it is the best converting traffic I have found. The volume I get is about 15% of a similar adwords campaign.

    Traffic converts very well, but you wont get a ton of traffic with adcenter. I would definitely recommend it.

    some people call it the space cowboy... some call it the gangster of love...
    If you made it after hours to set up your account and do everything the ad r running fine and there is some cool traffic.

    Hi,

    I have had good luck with MSN. It is hard to track results, however, as I do not believe that they yet have the conversion tracking that Google offers. Or did I miss this feature?

    I have noticed a better conversion cost with Yahoo than MSN. Google is the most expensive but also provides the most traffic. MSN is worth a shot.

    MSN has the best conversion rate, but it's got the lowest traffic too.

    Overture is in second place for ROI, then adwords for me.

    However, adwords provides the most traffic so you almost HAVE to use it. :)

    I've had decent luck with ROI from MSN, but horrible experiences with billing & my original experience with setting up my ads in the first place (half my keywords were rejected, some were just plurals of accepted keywords) that took about a week to get resolved. My billing issue has been going on for about 4 weeks now - my account was disabled on a "credit hold" for about 2.5 weeks because of an issue on Microsoft's side, and they now owe me $100 (which should have already been refunded).

    The return hasn't been worth the hassle. Because of the much lower volume, it's made more sense for me to just focus my efforts on Yahoo & AdWords and not really worry about MSN for now. Not to mention, the interface is slow & hard to navigate... I might be willing to go back & try adCenter again in the future, but that all depends on how they finish handling my billing issue.
