Redmond, Washington - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - Microsoft Corp. has begun testing display advertisements from such companies as: Coca-Cola Brazil, JCPenney Co. Inc. and Monster Worldwide Inc. across its Office Live, Windows Live Mail and MSN Spaces.

The multimarket tests mark the beginning of providing advertisers with broader access to Microsoft’s online audience. This effort will help generate revenue to provide consumers with a wide array of free and low-cost online services such as web hosting, e-mail and web services.

Joanne Bradford, Corporate Vice President for Global Sales and Marketing at Microsoft commented, ”Advertising is a very important business model for Microsoft worldwide because an increasing number of advertisers are becoming more global. With ad-supported software opportunities, we’re able to offer great services at low or no cost for our consumers and a vast ecosystem for advertisers.”

Monica Horcades, Marketing Director for Coca-Cola Brazil added, ”Taking part in the Windows Live Mail beta program is something that perfectly matches Coca-Cola’s day-by-day attitude. We understand that one of the most important roles of a global brand like us is to believe, support and stimulate innovation in communication of all kinds, especially on the Web. Coca-Cola has always been a pioneer on talking to young people wherever and whenever they are. It’s in our brand’s DNA. And we believe that Windows Live Mail is going to be a great way to do that.”

Windows Live display ads are currently being tested in MSN Spaces in Australia and Italy, and Windows Live Mail display ads are being tested in various markets across the world including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. Office Live display ads are initially being tested in the U.S. and immediately sold out of their available openings for beta advertisers. Tests will continue on these and other Microsoft sites and services throughout 2006, while additional research is underway with approximately 100 advertisers in nine markets to verify advertisers’ needs and best practice advertising solutions for Windows Live.
