The MSN Homepage is MSN’s prime advertising real estate - the online version of a front cover attracting over 17.4 million unique users and 439 million page views monthly¹. It’s a summary of all that’s in the current edition of the MSN site and editorially updated three times every day.

 

For the advertiser the MSN Homepage is a representation of what MSN is to our users – it’s 1 in 8 of our users’ main entry point to the site so it’s often the first part of the site they see.

 

• Wider Page: engage even further with consumers with the addition of the right hand personalisable column.
• Increased personalisation:Customisable modules such as weather and astrology; this offers the opportunity for our key partners to be fully integrated into the MSN Homepage
• Editorial features carousel: Main content promotion area of the page and clearly marked to differentiate editorial content from the 300x250 rectangle advertising.
• Improved navigation: Clearer navigation bar enables consumers to go exactly where they want to go. Less clutter means we’re able to really push our priority channels and integrated partner channels too.
• More search options: Additional Bing search bar -  search at your fingertips
• Explore MSN UK: Explore MSN UK. Easier navigation through the portal for those users who prefer to find their way around through a directory (the key channels and their sub channels)

• Target Page Header: Integrated page header incorporates a search function, enabling better integrating by design features with the channel navigation bar above.  Easier signposts and iconography for the WL services.
• Multiple Advertising Slots: All advertising placements including the 300x250 and the superbanner will remain as a core part of the MSN Portal.
