I reported this as a bug in February and aside from getting a form letter asking me to rate my customer service experience, no one has been able to either help me or, you know, increase the size of the login field by two characters or something…2) Bing lacks global geo-targeting – I don’t need to advertise in Singapore, I need to advertise in China, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, UAE and most of western Europe.3) Bing’s keyword selection rules are too restrictive – I run PPC for a place that sells lingerie, costumes, and high heels and I can’t use the term “sexy adult size halloween costume” as a search term in Bing. In fact, they axed 2/3 of the KEYWORDS on a Halloween costume campaign I imported from Google – I’m not use to having keywords disallowed when they don’t contain any brand names or violate trademarks – what do they care what general keywords I use – people are GONNA type that into a search field. duh.4) Yahoo was generating sales with an average cost per conversion of $18 and MSN was delivering conversions at a cost per conversion of about $24… since all this moving around began, MSN CPA has doubled – yes $50 and then some on the busiest campaign – and Yahoo impressions and clicks have dropped by almost half. I’ve been able to maintain CPA in Yahoo a little more closely – up to $20, but the lack of total referrals is having a huge impact when combined with the fact that MSN suddenly costs twice as much now.5) The stupid link to the “compatibility report” in Yahoo (under the new adCenter tab) has never worked… This client may end up leaving both engines if ad delivery on Yahoo properties doesn’t step back up, and if they can’t advertise globally, AND if they can’t start using “sexy” and “naughty” as keywords.
