Signing up for Microsoft Adcenter

Hi Jeremy & All,

I tried signing up for MSN Adcenter, and have a few questions which I hope you could help me out with.

1. Under "Confirm your country/region", Australia is not listed. Since i am from Australia, does this matter? Can I just pick United States?

2. I am an individual and do not have a company at the moment and it seems that the signup requires a company name. How does an individual affiliate get around this?

My apologies if the questions are too basic.

Thanks,
Mark
