I recently applied for Microsoft PPC.
I want to know:
Is it any good?
And what about co-mixing ads on page along with adsense?
Any suggestion for their ads optimization.

      Are you a publisher? I could not understand your answer completely. My query was more related to publisher. I would wait to see some more answers from other members. Preferably experienced one.

      What type of leads? What type of ads were you using? Search PPC or websites.

    I have found Adcenter really good BUT there is normally not enough traffic so you can be forced into widening your keywords a little which makes them less targeted. I have tested to a few different sales pages and squeeze pages and had fairly decent results though.

    Of course it depends on your sales page, keywords and your ad copy too.

    Microsoft PPC seems still non-professional to me. At least not for a beginners at all. So, keep distance from it, until some promotion of it.

    Hi funtler

    Bing PPC is an excellent source of traffic, I regularly experience a much higher ROI using Bing PPC compared to Google Adwords. However the volume is a lot less than Googles.

      On the sign up form, there is an Audio button above the captcha so you can use that to verify. Did you try that?

      You can't.

      Google has about a 45% market share in US.
      MS is about 7%

      Any questions?

      You have to ask yourself, if bing was sooooooooooooooooooooooo good,
      why does google keep going up? And MS has NEVER a made on dime in
      profit online. Zip.

      Ask yourself why yahoo is now putting google ads on some of their
      pages? Hmmmmmmm.

      This question is like, can I dig my own hole for a septic tank?
      Well, sure, and a shovel works pretty good. But wouldn't one
      rather hire a back hoe? Just sayin...

    Ditto on many of the above comments...

    The Bing Ads PPC system was a bit clunky - lacking user-friendliness - early on. But it has made recent improvements, sometimes by copying features found in Google Adwords.

    Though Bing traffic volume is not as high as Adwords, there's less competition and avg. click prices are lower.

    With our PPC clients, we suggest that before using Bing they focus on getting some traction in Adwords. Then once they have some winning Adwords ads and keywords, test them in the Bing Ads system.

    Go here - Site Search . Compliance with editorial guidelines will prevent your ad from being disapproved.

    As of Jan 2013 Bing ads doesn't have an "adsense" program to pay websites. Ads are displayed on the user screen in response to user queries. Large volume (50M/mo) sites can apply to be pubcenters.

    This site is for Bingads PPC training and ideas on optimization. Training & Accreditation
    It's worth your time.

      I had pretty good results with them. Now it depends on the niche and how confortable you are with paid traffic

    It really depends on your niche. I am running Microsoft ad center campaigns. On average I generate about a 20% profit. I made more with Google Adwords until I got banned. Which really sucks. I brought in a lot more profit on Adwords campaigns.

    I've used adcenter quite a bit with good results. They are a lot more lenient then Google so you can get away with more. The interface is pretty good, but not as refined as Google's.

    The main downside is you have much less traffic to work with so it is difficult to scale up if you are so inclined (depending on the niche)
