For most of us in marketing, when we talk about Pay-Per-Click, we usuall think of Google. Alternatives to the search giant are either not considered or relegated to a minor role. But, Bing, the search engine is powered by Microsoft, strives to outdo Google at every turn. And it has some value that we may not have considered before.
Bing, Working to be The Giant Killer
It’s an ambitious goal. But, there is one place where Bing differentiates itself is through its Pay Per Click ads or PPC. While Google Ads offers a popular PPC feature, Bing’s has unique advantages that distinguish itself from the search engine giant.

Even though mobile traffic surpassed desktop traffic way back in 2016, many advertisers are still treating their campaigns with a desktop approach. They optimize their campaigns, ad groups, and landing pages for desktop first. Thinking that then they can start to bring in mobile traffic on the side.
But, that simply doesn’t work anymore
Now, it seems that mobile users have vastly different behavior than desktop searchers. Using the same strategy across devices isn’t viable. And in support of this idea, recently WordStream released some new data on average mobile ad conversion rates. And the data revealed that the conversion rates vary widely based on what kind of ad we’re looking at. So, that means that you can’t even generalize across all mobile ads; the type of ad you’re using makes a big difference too.
Today’s PPC marketers need to optimize for mobile users and improve the conversion experience on smaller devices. Here are five tips to maximize conversions on your mobile-targeted search ads starting today on WordStream.com

It’s no secret that pay-per-click advertising can offer marketers a powerful way to reach out to their target audience. One reason for this is that PPC ads aren’t just shown on the side of search engine results pages (or SERPs). They are also displayed on blogs and other websites that publish relevant ad content to their viewers. And importantly, they are also displayed in free mobile apps that make revenue by displaying relevant content.
However, there are some downsides to PPC advertising
However, when you start setting up ads, you will soon hit a wall of confusion. You will notice that there are a plethora of options that you must use or disable before you can get going. The platforms used for PPC campaigns are intentionally in-depth, detailed and can get very, very target-specific.
And with such a dizzying array of features and functionality mistakes can be made. It can take a long time to navigate your way through them all to determine which ones apply to your campaign requirements. So to help you avoid failure, here are the Top 10 Pay-Per-Click Advertising Mistakes to Avoid at JeffBullas.com
