Warriors - Let's Market BING! (screw Google)

This is what I've been saying all along. I made a thread about this called
"Is Bing The Next Google? If we give our money to bing Google will change it's tune.Just because they are the standard now doesn't mean they will always be.

I'm all for diversification! Having all/most income sources coming from one place is setting yourself up for potential disaster. A lot of people do just one thing and then crash and burn when it goes south.

I don't really think we'll have much impact on google, so I won't be promoting Bing out of a sense of 'Ha ha, I'm gettin' over on Google now!" LOL But I will promote Bing as a new potential source of bringing in some cold hard cash.

I'm always looking to keep a variety of projects going so I'm not too dependent on any one thing.

I do get a feeling Google is just too big. It really can (and does) make unilateral decisions that can literally crush the 'little guy'. I will use them to my own benefit, but I will never depend on them completely.

Hi Warriors,

Sounds like an almighty task but if say 1000 of us tell 10 people who tell 10 people who tell 10 people then we're talking about a million people already. And what's more, if enough of us are proactive (posts on blogs, messages to lists, forum posts, Twitter and so on and so fourth) we can truly work up some significant momentum. That's the beauty of the web - power to the people!

Takes years to build up a reputation and seconds to lose it. If we set our minds to it I think that the big G could be at least forced to consider becoming affiliate friendly again.

David - good point. Best solution for PPC marketers in my opinion is build up some capital and switch over to media buy - something I'm learning at the moment. Not for the faint hearted though!

Cheers,

Andy

I don't know about marketing stuff. But I've seen much better search results with Bing rather than Google.

If affiliates are getting banned from adwords, then whos left? Product owners with physical products. Hopefully Bing becomes way more popular, Microsoft makes more money then G, so hopefully they can use it to their advantage.

There is one problem with Bing....The search volume is DRASTICALLY lower than Google. It doesn't mean that it is drastically cheaper either. If a thousands of advertisers and affiliates move to Bing to sell their offers it will explode the cost per click for keywords with virtually no search volume......doesn't sound like a very attractive option to me.
You can take your business to Bing but how do you get the searchers to use it?

Unfortunately for a lot of people it will be the end of their money-line and they will have to resort to other methods (SEO,Social networking article submission etc..) if they cannot master that then they will have a problem.

This is all linked to the new FTC regulations......it is having a huge impact at ALL online METHODS of advertising. Search engines offer an advertising platform and they too must abide by the rules.

I got banned for a CPA offer I ran a while ago, and as a result all future applications will be refused. It doesn't matter if you are doing wrong now or have done in the past, you will get punished. Not very fair, but what can you do?

Good luck everyone

As i am not banned from adwords yet, i can understand the pain and frustration of people who was screwed by google. But adwords belongs to them and they can do whatever they want with their property.

But seriously, fighting against google and support microsoft? Is that your goal? Can you imagine yourself after one year still excited about fighting the company which have banned you? I would better forget that and concentrate on more productive things which will pay my bills.

Not sure that marketers can get people over to Bing. Realistically speaking there are no guarantees that once Bing picks up market share it is going to behave any differently then Google does now. Sometimes, the beast you know if better then the one you don't.
