Double Serving On MSN By Using WWW & Non WWW?

[natekapi]

So I just noticed something on MSN that I found kind of interesting. Not sure if this is something new, or something old, or just some temporary glitch, but I noticed two ads for a search term that has the same display URL, except one is "sitename.com" and the other is "www.SiteName.com."

Is MSN really this easy to game?....

msn and yahoo doesn't care about double servings..

I think.

I don't think that's really considered gaming MSN, as they don't really care about the display URL anyway, unless they're manually reviewing your ad for some reason. It is another indication of how poorly their system is setup, and frankly, I bet they were pulling in more money from search ads when they were outsourcing to Yahoo/Overture.

Anyway, this has actually been happening for at least 8 months now, maybe more.
