This is a limited beta program that encourages your participation and feedback. We are listening to you.



Selection Criteria
Not all web sites submitted for pubCenter^Beta consideration will be accepted to the program. Sites are evaluated on criteria such as page quality and content richness, traffic history and target audience. Web sites that require log-ins, have little textual content or lots of animated graphics are not good candidates for pubCenter^Beta.

Visit the pubCenter Editorial Policy page for adherence guidelines for sites displaying Microsoft ads.

Flexibility of Microsoft pubCenter^Beta
Microsoft ads can be placed on the same pages as other contextual advertisements, so long as you do not have a specific exclusivity agreement with another ad network. You may limit the display of Microsoft ads to any subset of pages on your site and there is no minimum requirement for the number of ad units you implement.

Your Feedback Is Important
We welcome regular feedback and suggestions from beta participants about the service, product interface and effectiveness in generating revenue so that we can create the best program possible for all pubCenter^Beta users.
