MSN Search PPC Program

When will they let everybody advertise?

Since MSN launched it's beta program, one of my clients saw huge drop on sales because they were not among the companies invited to the beta program.

Does anybody have an estimate of when will MSN let the rest of advertisers in?

Thanks

I've been thinking Spring for a wide rollout. The pilot program seems to have gone well from my perspective as an advertiser.

I don't understand how you could see a "huge drop" in sales. MS was taking no more than 15% of Overture's advertising. I can see a 5% drop MAYBE overall. But nothing near "huge."
