Last weekend Microsoft updated their adCentre system adding extra functionality to their billing processes including:

• You can now pay your balance any time not just monthly as previously
• You can now remove unused credit cards from file

Microsoft also claim that the process for adding new credit cards has been streamlined making it even easier to give them some money.

At Impact Media we believe the most important search engines are the ones that deliver the most traffic and this changes from country to country but for the UK and USA the big 3 are the same.

Google, Yahoo and MSN are the big 3 in question and control one big slice of the internet traffic, approximately 91% of all UK and 93.4% of the USA search engine traffic.

At Impact Media we offer the real deal and optimise website’s for the main 3 search engines so that you get quality relevant traffic to your website.

Bottom line, if your not in the top 3 search engines you are missing out on nearly all natural search enquires.

Fans of Harry Potter can now win a chance to appear in the next film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

In a tie-up between the Warner Brothers, the film’s producers and Microsoft UK, the software giant has now created a Harry Potter Microsite on its popular MSN network.

The competition launched 23rd November and runs until the 20th December. One lucky winner of the online quiz will get an opportunity to appear in Harry’s next movie.

This initiative is yet another example of the important role digital media now plays in the marketing of products.
