Free Content Clicks from adCenter

Received this morning...

"We're writing to let you know that from the date you started in the Microsoft adCenter Content Ads Pilot to December 4, 2006, you were not billed for clicks received through the Content Ads program.

During this initial pilot period, while your adCenter reports accurately reflected your clicks for both Search and Content Ads, the adCenter billing system did not recognize some or all of the content clicks you received. Therefore, those clicks were not billed to your account. During this time, your Search clicks were charged accurately to your account.

As a pilot participant, you will not be charged retroactively for those Content Ads clicks. Please note that from December 5, 2006 onwards, you will be charged for all clicks received through Content Ads. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. "

I started on the content pilot in early October...had I known the content clicks were free I would have been much more aggressive:-)
