Microsoft adCenter finally gets a clue and shows us the money

Ever since the Microsoft launched their new Adcenter platform, I've thought they were dumb to not offer a promotional credit for sigining up like Yahoo does. Even Google offers a free $50 or $100 credit if you sign up through an adwords professional. I was excited when I got an ad in the mail from "Steve" with a $100 promo code (DM-1-1106). Then today, I saw an ad for this offer for $100 credit for new accounts (promo code: BNR-100-1006). They may have been doing these for a while and I'm just slow to notice...it's happened before.

Anyway, it's a smart move that is sure to get a lot of lurkers to make the leap and finally set up an account with MSN. The only thing that sucks about this is that there will now be more competition on MSN, so bid prices are sure to go up. The cat's out of the bag. Bummer.

Note: it looks like both offers expire Jan 15, 2007. But why wait until January to try it out? Get on it, slowpoke.

    In case anyone reads this post, don't settle for $100 when you can get a free $200 credit with their new offer
