5 Ways Microsoft adCenter beats Google AdWords

We need to be paying much more attention to Bing Ads. PPCHero are very much the gurus on all thing PPC – so pay attention to concise comparisons like this.

Sam Owen sets out the following points where he believes Microsoft Adcenter is superior:

1. Quality Score Reporting – more detail such as a historic report to help identify actions that might have inadvertently reduced your Quality Score.
   
2. Negative Keywords Conflict Reports – helps identify where the inclusion of some negative keywords might be losing desirable clicks.
   
3. Share of Voice Reports – find out why you are losing impressions, budget? ranking?
   
4. Search Partners Only – where, if you want, you can choose to advertise Search Partners Only.
   
5. Monthly Budgets – rather than daily budgets.
   

Although he does also point out that Adcenter is weaker in a few areas, notably Ad Extensions and Remarketing.
