Microsoft Acquires AdECN

Sunday 29 July 2007 @ 8:18 pm

Considering that Microsoft already runs it’s own advertising service via adCenter, it was quite a surprise when they bought AdECN. However, AdECN is quite the catch, considering the features that they offer for their advertisers (and the publishers).

Get $50 Microsoft AdCenter Coupons from ShoeMoney

Thursday 26 October 2006 @ 9:40 pm

ShoeMoney has offered $5,000 in Microsoft AdCenter Coupons on his blog. Apparently a Microsoft AdCenter representative sent him an E-Mail with 100 coupons for Microsoft AdCenter for $50 each.

He’ll simply make a post on his blog tomorrow morning (most likely between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.) and whoever redeems the codes will get it!

The other 50 coupon codes will be said live on Net Income, ShoeMoney’s radio show on WebmasterRadio.fm!

Live Goes Live

Wednesday 13 September 2006 @ 8:04 pm

Microsoft Live has gone live and seems to be an amazing service! I like the new design which offers a ton of features on the SERP’s. They seem to have included a couple of drop-down menus as well.

But I think there is something which all of you would find similar about their homepage. It looks a lot like Google to me, a simple layout for the number one search engine.




MSN Patents Nested Search Rankings

Monday 4 September 2006 @ 10:30 am

Microsoft has just put up a patent on a new type of Search Ranking system for their MSN Search Engine called the Nested Search Rankings which William Slawski. Here is an overview on how it works:

  1. Takes your Search Query
  2. Grab 100,000 pages relevant to your query
  3. Rerank these pages according to pre-set MSN factors
  4. Pull the top 1,000 pages from the resulting pages
  5. Shuffle the order of the 1,000 pages based upon other pre-set MSN factors

  7. Display the top 10 pages to the user

Which Search Engine has correct Markup?

Saturday 19 August 2006 @ 11:41 am

Well Jake (a reader of Google BlogoScoped), had a simple idea of checking the W3C Markup Validation of the top Search Engines out there:

  1. MSN – Passed!
  2. Altavista – Failed, 38 errors
  3. Yahoo – Failed, 41 errors
  4. Google – Failed, 61 errors
  5. Ask.com – Failed, 64 errors
  6. Dogpile – Failed, 70 errors

It was a unique idea in it’s own sort of way, which shows which Search Engines (no matter how big they are) follow simple W3C Validation.
