Microsoft stepped up their game last week with the unveiling of MSN adCenter, a product designed to capture online advertising revenue from search results.
Google have been providing "Sponsored Links" in search results for quite a while now, Microsoft appear to be entering the market a little late.
Steve Ballmer, CEO at Microsoft demonstrated MSN adCenter to more than 500 potential online advertisers at a conference held last week.
The new MSN paid-search solution will provide keyword buyers with in-depth audience intelligence, including geographic location, gender, age group, lifestyle segment and time of day. As a result, advertisers should be able to plan more strategic advertising investments and achieve higher click-to-buy conversion rates among consumers.
