Microsoft is trying to compete with Google for ad revenues. I just recieved an ad though snail mail for a special offer you may want to try.

Open a Microsoft adCenter new account for $5.00 USD and get up to $100 in free ad clicks (read the fine print before you commit). Go to http://www.StartadCenter.com/NextTip and enter code DM-1-1106. This is a limited time offer (until 1.15.07), so if you are reading after that date, it may no longer be valid. But you might check out adCenter anyway. Things could get interesting. Microsoft is claiming that theie MSN customers convert at a higher rate than Googles in “four out of five categories,” (whatever that means).
