Anyone remember reading my 2005 Search Engine Predictions? In it, I stated "Microsoft will buy out BidClix or some other ad network to compete with Overture, and will effectively stamp out Adwords/Adsense." Well, I might have been partially wrong about the buying out part (or maybe not), but the word is out that Microsoft will be offering their own PPC product soon. You can read all about it at the following urls. Maybe I need to look into my crystal ball more often.
