MSN Debuts Expo Classifieds

Thursday, March 2nd, 2006 at 4:02 pm by Jeffrey Perren, AC Magazine

MSN has launched a beta of its new classified ads offering. Pretty slick, too. Searches are quick and configurable. A pull down lets the user select one of a few dozen cities and with the slider the radius from that city can be expanded up to 500+ miles or the whole U.S.

Affiliate marketers now have another option besides Google Base. The latter has many more offerings, but expect Expo to ramp up quickly. Microsoft plans to integrate Expo with IM, Hotmail, and several other planned venues. In 2006, the Internet is going to get a whole lot more interesting.

It seems that Google is BETA testing a site building service! Now, don’t get too excited, it’s pretty limited and may not be HUGE use for affiliates, but then again - you never know.

The service is a basic website builder that allows you to put up some pages as a subdomain to Google - ex/ http://yourgmailusername.googlepages.com

But the neat thing is that if you’re a PPC affiliate and you now want to start having some “middle man” pages, you may be able to start using Google Page Builder for free - they host your page at no cost!

Now, I don’t know much more about the service yet because they have not let me in (I’m on the waiting list). But I figured I’d alert you of it, you can get on the waiting list too…
