A WebmasterWorld thread and adCenter Forum thread have reports that Microsoft adCenter is reporting that clicks are not being charged. Yes, the adCenter reports are showing a $0.00 cost per click in their reports.

Here are some of the reports from the advertisers:

Whilst I’d love this to be real, looks like a bug as clicks priced at 0.00 aren’t so common!

No matter which report I call up – I’m not being charged (according to the reports) for clicks.

Many suspect this is some sort of reporting glitch. I suspect so to. But it would be nice if it was not a glitch and Microsoft gave some of their advertisers a nice New Years bonus.
