Bing Ads Account Related Question

Thanks for this information.

Hi, thanks for the post. Exactly what I need.

From my experience using Bing, you do not need to be a company. An individual is fine, just be truthful about the information (your name, home address, telephone contact).

Bing staff are very helpful and patient in helping you resolve issues, as long as you are not out to abuse the system.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Chris

It always amazes me that people will put so much effort in trying to game a system in order to get something for free instead of building up their business.

Coupons: one per account. If you keep closing and opening accounts just to use coupons and get free advertising, what do you think they are going to say and do? The ad networks are not there to provide you with free advertising. Coupons are meant to get you to use the system initially at a lower risk. You want to continue advertising on the system, great. Follow the rules. Just don't expect to get it for free.

There's no business I know that will take a credit card and give you the product or service before it has been verified. I think a lot of people are trying to do just that, give any information and they'll get what they bought. Doesn't work like that.

I used to work for a call centre for Best Buy and a common problem was credit cards. The information given on the site has to match exactly what the CC company has. It's easy to mistype things or omit some things. If you live on Main Street and told the CC company that, I believe you need to enter that information on the site exactly as you provided the CC. So entering "St." instead of "Street" may cause a problem.

Often, people move and don't tell the CC company. They could give a different phone number. This happened to me often. The buyer was at work and gave their work number when they needed to enter their home number which the CC had.

Accounts are not likely to be closed for such mistakes. Just correct them. But if you have shown you will seemingly try to defraud them, then they will shut you down. This includes trying to open different accounts in order to do what is called double serving, an attempt to show more than one ad for the same site or the same company.

So enter your information correctly. It says company name, enter your name there and all pertinent information. This will have to match what the CC has in file. Otherwise, you just won't have a working account.
