I’m sure Microsoft will hate me for comparing their new advertising program with Google AdSense, but almost every blogger knows about AdSense. Therefore, it will be so much easier to put that in the title, as it has answered almost all questions you are going to have.
So Google has its Google AdSense, Yahoo has its Yahoo’s Publisher Network, and now Microsoft is entering the market with its Microsoft’s adCenter Publisher Program.
It will be somewhere similar with AdSense and Yahoo’s Publisher Network, although claims are that Microsoft’s one is paying higher per click. Rumors from the forums and blogs are that they are being paid 7-10 times more than AdSense.
It sounds too good to be true and since I’m quite a skeptical person, I will not say anything else beyond these rumors! (Besides, who taught you to believe in rumors anyway?)
At the moment, Microsoft is running some closed testing for selected publishers to try out this program. If you think that your site/blog is worthy and would like to register your interest, fill in the Microsoft adCenter Publisher Program Interest Form here.
I would love to see a higher pay per click than the 5-cents-a click from AdSense. I’m currently using AdNet and have been getting 12-26 cents per click, which is lovely! I’ll make a post about it later this week and it’s going to be my second major income for this blog.

There’s nothing wrong in writing. Just wanted to know if Adsense and Microsoft Publisher Ads are compatible with each other, I mean, can they be put together in one blog or site?

The more competition the better. Now yahoo and google will have to compete with microsoft which means (hopefully) the services and prices will be better later on in the future for us.

Hi. I didn´t know about this, so, thanks for sharing.
I hope you right, more competitions amongst Ad Networks means more money for each click. I´m also going to check Adnet you mentioned in other post.
Regards.

I am surprised to know that microsoft is also coming into this field. advertising. hmmm
Let us all see how it fares out compared to other two, yahoo and google
Any program like AdSense that can give more cents per click is welcomed. Getting 1-3 cents a click is no where fun on this blog
I don’t get it.. are Microsoft only follow ? .. must try first
even my blog 
I think I will stick with Adsense.
Nice post. I hope it generates more revenue than adsense. Make sure to check out my website at http://www.viennaaustria.blogspot.com and review it. Thanks

More competition is good. It may help to keep the Google Giant in check. Maybe Google will think twice before banning Adsense publishers, because they surely will jump ship and go to Microsoft.
Yeah, hopefully more competition will increase the number of good quality advertisers, hence giving us more dollars than pennies
Trying it out now…the contextual match of content to ads isn’t quite as good as AdSense’s, but it seems to be guessing right most of the time.
Need more time to see if the click through and payment per click is comparable though.

Well Google AdSense is still the most popular program at the moment and I don’t think anything can beat it anytime soon
