re: 2009 U.S. Microsoft Search Summit – thoughts on PPC, adCenter and Bing

A month ago we have registered at AdCenter and filled it with similar info as we have done it with Adwords. We were enthusiastic: finally we have got an alternative ....

Now, a bit down the road we can see that he results are not nearly that what we have expected. The traffic we receive is about 1% of what we get from Adwords.

why do we take part in the race, if we have already lost?

Its nice how most of the PPC ads are now blocked since Bing launched. At least the commercials are not as bad as the previous Microsoft ones.

And why not simply stop crediting for multiple clicks from the same IP address?

Limit each IP addess to a handfull of clicks per day, per add. Anything more than that should be tagged as false. That should eliminate 90% of the problem instantly.

Great news. Bing look very promising for PPC Advertising. Not only as a great engine individually, but potentially as a solid alternative/competitor to Google Adwords. More of my thoughts here - lab.77agency.com/.../can-bing-level-the-search-playing-field-3148

Hi, I am just curious on what algorithm Bing is using... I was amazed when I queried "Bing" on Bing.com, and that the result is quite different from what I was expecting - Bing.com will suppose to rank 1. See this post: http://tinyurl.com/nhamb9

Thank you Catherine for this nice post about Canada :)

And a quick word on conversion rates with Microsoft AdCenter, they're often higher than with Google.

How can a new advertiser find out what sites are on the Microsoft content network? I'm anxious to set up placement advertising, but have no history to work with. What sites are available?

Where do I find this?

re: Managing Your adCenter PPC Budget Effectively

JL — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 05:09:12 GMT

This system so doesn't work. When I set a daily budget of $1, it kept on going past $6 and that was even when the campaign was paused for 12 hours of the 24. Didn't matter if I set it for $1/day or $30 spread evenly across a month. Something's broke, people.
