Today I was surprised to be presented with the “Business of the Year” award from the Fair Oaks Chamber of Commerce. This award is voted on by a group of my Chamber peers and is recognized by the California State Assembly and Sacramento County’s Board of Supervisors, so its an extreme honor to receive it. I will try to write up a complete release with more information, but wanted to share my gratitude with the Fair Oaks Chamber as well as all my clients, colleagues, and support system for contributing to my success in business.

Ever since Microsoft launched their new AdCenter back in May, they have been increasing promotion to try to lure advertisers to use the system to place pay per click ads on the MSN and Live Search networks. If you’ve thought about adding pay-per-click methods to your marketing plan, now is the time to act on AdCenter. Microsoft has distributed a promotional code worth $200 of free advertising, but its only good for a limited time.

If you’re a past or current client of YNot Web and would like to create a new account at the AdCenter, drop me a line or give me a call and I will provide you with the discount code. You can step through their self-serve sign-up process or request that YNot Web sets up your ad campaigns, but either way, this is a good way to check out the pay-per-click arena and determine whether Microsoft’s ad network effectively reaches your target audience.
