AdCenter's GUI is a pain no doubt, so is yahoo... Google is easiest... and no dealing with newbie msn "keyword specialists" that disable your keywords for bullshit reasons.
Adcenter DOES convert better than both.... lets face it, the users of MSN are moms and dads, grandmas...
Anyone with an Internet Clue does not leave the msn page as there home page. It's not cause it sucks.. its just we all hate microsoft for whatever random reasons... and cbf reading news/images/stupid surveys on the same page.
I like adcenter... it does convert better, but less volume, but less competitiveness too.
Google is a real pain in the ass... way to competitive, im a PPC pro and i struggle with profiting on AdWords.
I hate yahoo, google.... and microsoft too. In that order
Hate Yahoo first cause they are deliberate in trying to empty your wallet. Bullshit monthly fees, other stupid crap... they fixed it up now... but that previous bidding war situation they had... clearly demonstrated they want your money at all cost... and there stupid emails that say nothing but "buy keywords on yahoo to make more!" pisses me off quite a bit, as if putting a single "buy widget" keyword is going to make you a millionaire. Google's sucked more from me but does so in an amazingly ingenious way. They piss me off too.
I'm happy Microsoft is getting punished by Google however... Microsoft needs to be punished... but they will turn it around I say, that should be fun to see. Yahoo is getting squashed in the middle as it deserves.
90% of the other PPC engines are fairly worthless so you know. Miva is pretty poor too, but has a glimmer of hope for quality... a glimmer. Wouldnt spend anything on it till you have something working on the other PPC engines.
Thats my rant.
