I just found this great offer for search advertisers. Well worth a look if you are trying to get traffic to your website. Here is a free $200 Microsoft Ad Center promotional code.
Update: It looks like Microsoft no longer offer the $100 or $200 coupons. I did find another great offer that still works though, offering a free $25 credit. Bing and Yahoo! Search expand the reach of your business to millions of monthly users in the USA. Advertise now and get a free $25 credit.
They also have free coupons for Canada, France & the United Kingdom:
Considering that Microsoft's ads are cheaper (because the ad network is newer than AdWords) and their traffic is so clean (they cut out on the dirty syndication partner stuff that Yahoo! once allowed) a free $25 coupon is just like setting up a printing machine for money. I hope they keep building marketshare because they have such high conversion rates and are offering some awesome tools for advertisers.

Thanks for the heads up. We'll see how it works out. It's showing zero balance so far after signing up.
Game me some strange JS popuperror for some domain like contentmedianetwork.com (don't remember exact domain) when I hit the final submit. It then said the account was created and let me through.
Or in Canada, my hosting with 1 and 1 also includes a free 100 dollars for adcenter but as a canadian address resider I can't use any of these promo codes

Hey Aaron, you are the man for posting this. Appreciate it bud.
"Promotional credit good only to residents in the 50 United States and Washington, D.C. " oohhhh :-( there's always a catch for us Europeans... it's not fair, we have credit cards too you know =P
Sounds pretty good!When will such offers be launced in UK?

I got the same thing...what's up with that?
Are you guys seeing your credit in your acocunt yet?
I see the credit. However, I tried signing up using Mozilla Firefox browser and it messed up the screen. I had to open IE to sign up ... bad, Microsoft, bad !

No I am not seeing the credit. I think it's because of the error using Firefox. I'll submit a support ticket.
The catch is not only the addy link by where you're located. Regardless of whether you are hosted in the US and with a .com, if your Ccard is from Canada no dice. BOO. ah well.
1) they don't want make it easy to read ( small letter contract?)
2) Again... usability? Make it easy to your customers???

Hi Kiviniar
I have cut back on the forum front in the last year or so.
Cheers,

...though I am not sure if they also require a credit card for account authentication.
