    hello
    I have been using google adwords for the past year and a half for my site MGdezigns.com, but recently I have been told that BING is the better option, good value for money.
    any suggestions?
    thx

    Adcenter is a good complement to Adwords, I would recommend using both if you have the budget. The only difficulty with Adcenter is that traffic volume is lower and their tools are in general less friendly to use. However since fewer people use it, it can be cheaper and may make a good alternative if you're looking to drive traffic on a small budget.

    I would use both. The key with adcenter is making sure you have a high budget set. Otherwise you won't see any traffic, (they'll pretty much ignore your account.)

    It's true that Bing traffic has been improved since they partner with Yahoo, but still the traffic is very low and it's a waste of time.
    But I suggest you to run a test campaign just to check it.

    Yes...Bing is new but they are still going to be working out their glitches for a while. You will make way more money advertising with Google and Bing so do what you can to make it work with both of these search engines!!

    Defintely Google Adwords - Bing doesn't have such a huge user base.

    It would be good if you tryout both and stick to the one which you feel is giving better result. I normally use both but also use facebook advertising together with bing & adwords. I feel all these three are giving me the required results...

    Google AdWords Content Network already has, which is that it is way more popular than "Bing" and the possibilities or probabilities are greater with the Google network. Use and manage this fact then to your advantage.

    I used Microsoft adcenter a few years ago for my site. The ads are much cheaper since theres less competition. Doesn't get the same exposure of an adwords campaign but you get what you pay for I guess.

    I would suggest using bing if your market doesn't need to be that big. Supposedly, there is a 20% higher change that someone on the bing network would actually buy from you when they do a search then through Google Adwords.

    If you need market share though you have to go with Google Adwords.
