It looks like Microsoft is teaming up with SEMPO to attract more advertisers. They’re offering $1,000 in free clicks to SEMPO members. If you’re not currently a SEMPO member, you will need to register by December 31, 2008 to be eligible.
Even though details are fairly scarce for non-members, it looks like if you’re an individual and/or sole proprietor, you can sign up for as little as $299 per year and still get the offer. That means that you’ll end up getting $701 in free clicks from Microsoft. For coporate customers, the cost of membership is $1000 so you just end up getting a free 1 year membership to SEMPO (if you were planning on spending the money with Microsoft anyways).
The other caveat, from Richard Saling’s blog:
Get Your Promo Code for $1000 in Free* Clicks Now
To get your $1000 in free clicks to use with your Search adCenter account, request your promo code now
Set Up Your adCenter Account
When you are ready to get started, for as little as $5 one-time set up fee, you can set up your adCenter account by going to the adCenter Account Sign-Up page. Be sure input your promo code during sign up in order to get your $1000 in free clicks.
That sounds to me like you’ll need to open up a new adCenter account to use the promo code.
