I started a new campaign and after 2 full days I am getting zero conversions.

I am getting a 20% CTR on my ads and spending tons, but getting nothing on the conversion side. Unless I have my conversion code messed up or something. I have lowered my bids and will try again, but this is horrible.

Can you track it on your end rather on theirs? It would seem to make more sense to due this all 3 (google, yahoo, and msn) all seem to have margins of error involved.

Not sure if you know how to add a tracking code to your url, but you pretty much just add?source=msn&KW=keyword to the end of your url and track it either in your logs or with log analysis software.

I am done with AdCenter.

- Zero conversions (No signups a free service! AdWords cost per conversion was about 50 cents)

- The clicks I see in adcenter reports somehow don't show up in server logs. I don't know what's going on (maybe I am searching for the wrong referrer), but it is not worth the money anyway.

:(((

I am up to my eyeballs in work anyway so it is not worth it. I am up to over 2000 clicks with zero conversions.
Maybe if I have time late, I will mess with it, but not now. I am also getting like 20% CTR. Maybe this just shows that MSN users are stupid.

My experience with adCenter started out slow. And there were plenty of clicks, it almost made me think the ads were being clicked purposely by adCenter because I have the same on Adwords and have great results. After about a week (and adding in all my negative keywords), things are finally converting for me (one week into it). I can't wait to see how the month does.

We are 10 business days into adCenter and it is doing very well! :-)
