And the doug i highly doubt microsoft can compete yahoo or adsense with this business at least not for now.

I'd like to see some evening out across the playing fields. I also think that you're right, and it may be performance in some niches and not so much in others, but interestingly I find that the interface is a little easier than that of Yahoo! (where there are completely different reporting issues I may use for a future blog post, ha ha) I'd love to see it too, Marcus941. I'd like to see some evening out across the playing fields.

Well, as I mentioned, we do great with the click throughs on MSN and the conversions are also generally better, especially in b2c accounts, (based on percentages at least if not volume), so from our perspective, it's not a wasted spend, particularly at the outlandishly low click costs, but its just plain no good to not have the numbers to report back with.

Yes, it is pretty messed up, but I won't give up on them. I know that if THEY know how much it is wanted that they'll put it in. They DO need to work on it pronto, and as I mentioned, we need more people to speak out and request it. As for not following through, if you do ads in Yahoo, then you would probably do close to the same in Microsoft adCenter, depending on your niches. Hey howtoflow.

AdCenter's inferior interface, errors, ad approval lags, lack of revenue reporting, and much much smaller search volume makes me think they won't catch up to Adwords anytime soon. I hope they do improve and get more market share - someone needs to challenge the big G in a more significant way.

There might not be the volume of Google however it seems that the people who click through the ads on MSN are serious about what they are after. Click through rates and conversion rates are outstanding as a rule, and if Microsoft does what is needed AND manages to gain market share, that could spell some trouble for Google.
