Last year, some time after the alliance between Yahoo! and Bing, I started advertising on the yahoo\bing network through the old platform hosted on Yahoo (adCenter wasn't available for my country) Results? A disaster. An unrealistic CTR and an even more unrealistic amount of clicks. I showed them that 90% of those clicks were absolutely fake, even by writing my own tracking script (google analytics, in their opinion, wasn't reliable, but of course it was right and they were wrong). I wasted a lot of time but in the end, they recognized hundreds of fake clicks, and promised me a refund. I never received it of course. Now i wanted to give them another chance as the system actually in use (BingADS) is indeed available for my country. Results? Exactly the same. LOADS of absolutely non-existing clicks are being counted, but i cannot see them anywhere on my server. It's a shame, and I can't wait to call "customer support" tomorrow to see what they will say.
UPDATE: maybe bingads isn't to blame this time. These clicks might be coming from Bing's partner sites, so I have to make more scientific tests before blaming them.
HI, i am using adwords, i just want more traffic Anyway, the number of clicks now is good, and there are no major discrepancies between bingads and analytics. I'm still seeing several problems that make adwords 10x better, but click fraud, as far as i can see, is not a problem.
i allow clicks and traffic from bing/yahoo`s own properties and traffic quality is fine for me however about partners not all of them but most of them send crappy traffic
Stop advertising in platform which is not giving you result. Also, for Bing its better to advertise using just search network with your exact match keyword of closely related keywords.
I heard about some company making the false click and earning. Microsoft taking action agaisnt them but they are doing nothing to warn in thier in-house. Such a two side pollicy by MS.
