— short update and modern context. The Microsoft pages you found were advertiser-facing, not a general publisher sign-up. Microsoft did run a publisher product (pubCenter, later called “Monetize Now”) that was primarily for apps and limited publisher categories; that product was officially retired (ad serving stopped Sept 30, 2025; the service shut down Oct 15, 2025). This explains why earlier replies from and said MSN didn’t offer open publisher accounts. (learn.microsoft.com)

Background: pubCenter historically lived at pubcenter.microsoft.com and eventually had key flows moved into Microsoft’s developer portals as the program focused on Windows apps rather than general website banner/text networks. That history is why the advertiser pages look different from a typical publisher “sign-up” page. (pubcenter.microsoft.com)

Practical alternatives for a blog today: the usual, low-friction route is Google AdSense for small-to-midsize sites; Media.net (contextual ads with strong Yahoo/Bing demand) is a common AdSense alternative; larger, high-traffic publishers often use managed networks such as Mediavine (which publishes a sessions-based eligibility threshold) or premium managers (AdThrive/Raptive) once traffic and geography meet their minimums. For each option, confirm current eligibility, payment terms and policy requirements before applying. (google.com)

Quick checklist to move forward: remove any old pubCenter/Monetize Now JS if present (it will stop serving), add a clear privacy/cookie policy, install Google Analytics (GA4) so sessions/pageviews can be verified, and start with AdSense or Media.net while building traffic toward Mediavine/Raptive thresholds. The advice from earlier posters was sensible for 2009–2011; the main change is that Microsoft’s publisher program no longer functions as a general ad-network for blogs. (learn.microsoft.com)

MSN do not provide publisher accounts. They do only have advertisers. And MSN are putting advertisements on their search engines, MSN and Bing.

Are Yahoo and MSN going to joining forces and will they be accepting new publishers in the future?

Why would you tell this guy that MSN does not offer ad publishing accounts?

Unfortunately, they are not accepting any new publishers right now.
