Digg - MSN AdCenter Gives Me A Free $100 Credit - Read Why....
Digg Please
This past Friday (the 26th), I decided to take AdCenter for a spin. I’ve heard from several people that it’s a great network, due in large part to the fact that it converts good and the traffic is still somewhat cheap. Searching some forums, I found a coupon for $200 worth of advertising credit for new accounts. I tried to use that code when I was signing up, but it had already been redeemed by the maximum number of people. I signed up anyway, but called their help center to see if their was anything they could do.
Apparently the coupon code I had found was meant to be for a specific mailing list that AdCenter had put together, and I wasn’t on that. However, the rep I was talking with, Michael, was pretty understanding, and gave me a ticket reference #, and said he’d look into trying and get some credit applied to my account. I was pretty surprised and very happy at this, and he said he’d email me in a few days to let me know what’s up.
Meanwhile, I started my campaign (no troubles there), and turns out their traffic does convert better. The campaign I was testing converts 2:1 (or a little better) on AdWords, but Adcenter was converting 3:1 or more. I was very happy about that, but to be honest, I never expected him to get back with me.
I check my email today, the 27th, and lo and behold, there is an email from Michael, with instructions to call back and cite the reference #, which I promptly do. I (conincidence, or Providence?), get connected to Michael again. I tell him I’ve already signed up, give him me account name, and he puts me on hold for 2 minutes. After listening to some crappy elevator music, he comes back and tells me he’s got a $100 credit applied to my account, asks me if there’s anything else he can help me with, and wishes me a good day.
I’m extremely impressed with MSN AdCenter so far. For 1) he emailed me back on a Saturday, and 2) I got a free $100 when I really shouldn’t have gotten anything. Needless to say I’ll be testing heavily with AdCenter now.
