No AdCenter ads on MSN?

While there have been increases in traffic (impression and clicks) over the past few months I still feel AdCenter is not quite reaching its full potential. Could part of that be AdCenter's inability to show ads on search results every time someone searches?

Look at the results I'm being served this morning for "new car".



Not a single ad being displayed, and "new cars" isn't the only term I've noticed this on. I'm not sure how long it's been happening or if it's intentional. I started noticing it earlier this week and just thought it was fluke not worth mentioning. 4 days later though and I still am not being served ads every time I should be.

Are you run any ad blocker?
because when I did the same search it shows me sponsored lins.

Nope, no ad blocker. Paid results were flickering in and out across a large group of keywords I tried. I haven't been able to recreate the lack of ads since...

As a new user of AdCenter, I've seen this too. I didn't know if it was the default behaviour or not. I've seen it quite a bit... repeated clicks of the Search button fails to show ads about 20% of the time.

I saw the same thing quite a bit over the weekend, but am not seeing it today.

I really do wonder if it's intentional (maybe cookie driven???) or if there's a glitch in the system somewhere.
