Finally Microsoft has introduces a desktop adCenter application much like AdWords Editor. I am testing the beta application and so far it looks like AdWords Editor but simpler. From what I see, I like it and will certainly find it useful, just wish I had more clients using adCenter and that Microsoft had better market penetration. If only Yahoo would get on board and get a desktop version too.

I usually use the online interface of AdWords for certain functions and the desktop editor for others. Sometimes I am using both at the same time. So as a result, I am tickled to death to be invited to review the beta version before mass distribution by Microsoft.

I’ll let you know how I feel about it later this week, but some of my favorite things about AdWords editor I could see were already included in the Microsoft desktop version of their own application.

I working on my certification for the Microsoft adCenter program that is called adExcellence. This is a program similar to Yahoo’s Search Marketing Ambassador or Google’s AdWords Qualified Advertising Professional.

I should be ready to take the test in the first week of December and let you know how hard the test is. So far the training materials are very simple and I would expect the test to be like the Yahoo Ambassador test fairly easy.
