MSN Clicks since the Yahoo switch
As I understand it, MSN switched to serving up their ads 100% of the time on May 1, 2006. Prior to this they were serving Overture ads for 60% of the time and their own test ads for 40% of the time.

Previous to May 1 I was recieving about 3,000 clicks per month on MSN so I expected this to go up to about 7,000 once they switched over completely however they have actually gone down closer to 2,000 clicks.

Has anyone else seen this or know why this might be the case? Thank you.

Unfortunately, Down Down Down is the trend for us as well Mathese.

The good news though is that when we do get clicks they convert very well.

Agree, we have that as well.

Has anyone seen similar results that is not a B2B advertiser?

On adCenter I've been getting no more than 5% of the search volume of AdWords or Overture, and it's pretty much stayed that way since I signed up in mid-May.
