Not getting even 1 click from Bing!!

I've used Bing a few times in a number of different niches and found the results to be average at best.

There were plenty of clicks but absolutely no conversions, which when compared to my adwords campaigns running at the same time and using the same ads was very disappointing.

I really don't know the answer to why this should be happening and to be honest I wasn't going to throw any more money at it in order to find out. I do think however, that you should allow a lot more than 5 hours before worrying too much.

May be you are targeting a saturated niche. Review again your niche and check if the offer is converting well for others.

The best advisor can be your affiliate manager if you are promoting some offer from his/her Network.

are you getting any impressions, if not try upping your bid, when you start a campaign always bid over the suggested bid to get impressions, if you are bidding high and still not getting impressions it could be a few things, most of the time it is your add or landing page has not got relevance to your keyword.

just run a share of voice report and it will show you the reason for getting no impressions , if you have anymore issues just contact bing and they will assist you on your campaign

Savvy choice.

The problem isn't Bing, that's for certain

Slowly raise up your bid.

Negatory.

Time and / or the correct 'know-how'

Bing is very different then Google and you want to be more broad with your keyword targeting .

Pay Per Click/Search Engine Marketing (PPC/SEM)

This is one of the thread that I found very helpful.

you need to up your bids, you are getting no impressions and you need to check the monthly volume of your keywords .

also you only have 13 keywords, that is not enough you need to start with a larger pool of keywords , you are in the beginning phase of your campaign, so you need to start buying data.

so get a larger pool of keywords, break them into a set of ad groups, or you can even set each key word in it's own ad group.

but you need more keywords buy some data and pause and lower the under performing keywords

You are not getting impressions. It looks like you are bidding to low, or search volume is not enough.

I wouldn't worry about it yet. My PPC campaigns on Bing can take up to 12 hours (or more) to start showing me data. Nothing to worry about yet...

Maybe your offer is not creating enough attention for people to click on it.

It has only been 5 hours. It seems that you have gotten one click already and spent 67 cents.

There are 5 things to consider:

1- Impressions: Your first goal is to start getting impressions. And it seems like you are getting them. You will get more impressions the higher your bids are. But don't go overboard and spend too much.

I wouldn't just increase them just yet. Give your campaign more time.

2- Ads: You need to learn how to 'write' effective ads that actually make people want to click on them. This takes time, skill and practice. Have patience.

3- Conversions: You want to keep ads that are bringing in clicks, leads and even sales.

4- Sort: You need to run your ads long enough to get a better picture and enough data regarding what's working for you (clicks / leads / sales) and what's not.

5- Take your time: It can take a day, a few days or even a week to compile 'enough' data that will help you make decisions on what to 'scale' up and what ads to discard.

Patience is required.

Bing is one of my favorite, highest converting traffic networks. Here is a shot of todays activity! I'm converting at around 65% + on the opt in and around 15, 20 percent on the front end.

How do you have your campaign set up! Hopefully your on the search network only and not the content. If you want to run on the content set up a separate campaign for that.

PPC is very simple! Create adgroups around a specific targeted set of keywords. Maybe around 10, 15 or so. Heck I run adgroups with just 3 keyword in them. The key is here is to write your ad copy around that keyword and that will drive the CTR up giving you a much cheaper cost per click. I get traffic from competive keywords in both the making money from home and the weight loss markets and pay under 5 cents per click. Even pay a penny on a few keywords.

This is a very good thread, and I will definitely be coming back to it over time as the contributions grow.

They say Google gets around 85% of the search volume with yahoo/bing getting most of the remaining leftover traffic (I believe)

I have also tried running Microsoft Ad Center (yahoo/bing) campaigns and my results were also horrible, more specifically what I mean is that I needed a million keywords, ads etc to even get a few clicks...Way way way worse than what Adwords use to deliver back in 2008, 09...

I have left Microsoft Ad Center for about 5 months due to extreme frustration, but on a brighter note, I did receive a message from them a few weeks back saying they were improving things/amalgamating or something along those lines... One of these days when I have a bunch of energy I will venture back.

PPC is one of my weaker skills so I'm enjoying this too. I had the exact same issue last week; used the $100 ad credits from Bing and I have one total click so far. Then again, I'm only focusing on 50 miles of me so I wasn't expecting much...but one click in a week is rough.

What I don't understand is why Bing suggests rates well below first page bids...even for terms that I'm already ranked #1 overall on organically. They make it a lot harder than Google to get the optimal bid in place.

Since last year I have been using bing more than adwords and it is mostly been hit or miss with my campaigns. I have made some money with clickbank but you really have to test, test, test and keep at it with new and better landers and ads.

Whelp, that could be your probably right there... looks like everyone else's ad.

Also, you just started. Give it time and test-Test-TEST.

You get any click now ?
because I see many members has advised more things.

I want to give one tip that use bing editor for best keywords research and setup the campaign because I things using bing editor you fill cool to setup all things. As compare to bing, bing editor is too much easy for set up the campaigns. Just search bing editor, download and install, connect you account.

out of 100 90 are using google and 10 are using bing..i dont say that result would not come..but it will take some time...just wait...

Hey I see many many people have shared their views. I will share what gives me results. I use keyword tools that will give me competitors keywords gather like 1000 keywords. I then put them in bing ad inteligence and come up with related keywords and keywords related and are coming up being searched. I put them in bing as broad, exact and phrase. This makes me end up with 2000 keywords or so. I bid 0.05 and let the ad run. A 3 - 6 ads campaign. and as soon as a keyword reaches 100 imp or an ad reaches 100 imp with no clicks I delete that particular keyword or ad. Very surprising I do get clicks for 0.05 for some keywords.

Advanced:

I track my link using prosper202 and once I find converting keywords I bid on them higher to get exposure.

Hope this has helped you.

With a $5-10 a day budget, Bing is going to really space out the placement of your ads. And Quality Score is everything. Just copying the ads of the others at the top of page one isn't going to get you an automatic boost up to where they are. Your max bids at 70 cents and a $10 budget, you're only going to get so far. You're spinning wheels here.
