Microsoft adCenter is showing how much they care about their advertiser’s desire – adCenter’s Compatibility with Google Chrome and Safari.

The morning of Valentine’s Day, I received an email that mentioned a recent blog post by Microsoft adCenter about  new browser compatibility as well as new features coming soon.  I had to quickly do a “Google” search on adCenter’s blog posts. (Oh, the irony in this situation) After scanning adCenter’s recent posts, I find the one post that truly made my day.  The post was released last week on February 8th.

For some time now, search marketers (maybe not all of them) were annoyed with the fact that adCenter was incompatible with Google Chrome and Safari. The annoyance was  the inconvenience of tabbing between two different browsers. For search marketers, this is just a waste of keystrokes and we would rather work out of our favorite browser without the hassle. Hey, search marketers love the little things. Apparently an advertiser posted this annoyance to the adCenter Suggestion Forum instead of complaining about it elsewhere (like many of us did). Although a shot in a dark as well as taking quite a while, along with many votes to grab adCenter’s attention, they took notice and made the change.

So now I can easily go to adCenter in Chrome and get this webpage

Versus this horrible error page that have haunted search marketers everywhere (those who used the two mentioned browsers) for years.

I guess I may want to start contributing to the adCenter Suggestion Forum or any suggestion forum because you never know when the company will actually listen to you. adCenter truly cares about us afterall, folks.
