MSN adCenter Listens to Feedback and Offers New Features

Filed under: MSN adCenter — jack at 2:37 pm on Tuesday, April 11, 2006

I just learned the following from the MSN adCenter team:

“We have listened to your feedback during the MSNĀ® adCenter pilot, and we are excited to announce an upcoming update of the tool, with some new features that will offer you a better, easier, and more productive customer experience.

With these new features, you will be able to:

  • Add multiple keywords when creating campaigns, rather than manually typing each keyword.
  • Sign up for MSN adMail with the new Communication Preferences checklist.
  • Print billing statements through our updated Billing tab.
  • Estimate bids to help reach position one ad ranking through our improved price estimation tool.
  • Insert text dynamically into an ad title or ad text (formerly known as parameters).

Please note that MSN adCenter will be down briefly while it’s being updated on the afternoon of April 18. This should have no effect on your existing data or campaigns, which will remain live during this time. However, you will not be able to access your account or its features while we update adCenter, so we encourage you to make any needed immediate changes to your account beforehand.

To get more information about MSN Search, or to review frequently asked questions about MSN adCenter, check out our FAQ and Troubleshooting sections in the MSN adCenter Learning Center.

Sincerely,

The MSN adCenter team”

These modifications will be very beneficial to adCenter advertisers, with my favorite being the ability to add lists of keywords as opposed to the previous time consuming way of typing each keyword in one at a time.

The other key benefit of the upgrade will be the addition of the bid estimation tool. This will be helpful to advertisers who are targeting a specific ranking positions.

The newest and most unexplained upgrade is the new MSN adMail. I would guess that this will be a way for MSN to communicate the latest news and changes to adCenter in an easy fashion. I will contact Jaun and see if that is the case and update the blog as soon as I know,
