Question For Experianced Bing Users
- PPC/SEM |
Hi guys,
I`ve been running Bing ads for awhile now and while sticking to it though some tough times where I was losing money hand over fist I managed with the help of prosper202 to finally `get` why you have to spend money to aquire the data in prosper202 to start to cut the fat from the campiagn and start to see profit.
Now when I check prosper I have some pretty cool stats to look at which I would never of had if I`d of cut the campaigns when things where going tough.
So now I can see I dont make any profit on Saturday or Sunday so I will totally cut those two days starting next week
Thursday and Friday are my best days with the conversions coming from 1pm till 11pm so I`ll drop my ad spend between those times from now
8 pm & 9 pm are the times I`ve had the most comversions so I`ll bump the ad spend right up during those two hours
And thats really my question... When I use the Bing ad preview tool I can see my ads are at position `1` and can see my `avg pos`will read something like 1.75
But many times when I actually check Bing search myself with a proxy (I`m in the uk and I`m targeting US) with my keyword I just wont be at position `1` so I go back to Bing ads preview and again the ad is showing in position `1`
Now I realise that the ad position is also reading `1.75` and not a bold `1` ! so I get there maybe some movement
So can any for you guys explain why I dont see my ads holding a strong position 1 when I manually search for the keywords ?
Also `if` I was actually holding at the top position when I check Bing search with a bid of say 2.55 which nails me to position 1.. now I know that on Fridays at 8 till 9 pm I get my best conversions would it be good to increase my bids even higher to say 3.55 would this find even more customers ect by increasing visibility in other areas maybe like the syndicate partners and yahoo search ?
Any advice would be great guys thanks
