adCenter Analytics

adCenter Analytics - Getting Started!

Just about a year ago at Search Engine Strategies in NYC I talked to Steve Berkowitz about getting ads from the adCenter Team on my blog and many of the other dotnet community developer blogs. Steve replied to me that they were not ready and that they wanted to do it right. So Microsoft paid six billion dollars for aQuantive and showed Steve the door.

The Tech side of the adCenter Team came from the SQL Team and I'm expecting amazing things from them. We need to know more about the people who are reading our blogs and we need relevant ads that will be useful to our audience and reward us financially.
