Struggles with Bing

Submitted by Dave Won. on

Microsoft’s bizarre treatment of Wontek over the last few months has been disappointing to say the least. Microsoft stopped our advertising on Bing driving traffic to our reviews and news. We are told we have a high density of ads above the fold of the site, that being (1) advert to be exact.

To boot we get phone calls from Bing’s call center every day asking if we have removed advertising from our site. A supervisor named David told us that we should make two sites! That being 1 site for Google and 1 site for Bing, which is a totally absurd notion.

Now this article will only make sense to those that have advertised with Bing, and have suffered a similar dilemma.

So the problem is, if you go to Bing’s search engine and search for any term that contains the word review you will be shown a heap of ads that are linked to pages of ads, no reviews at all!

We have included many screenshots below this article showing what Bing is not removing from its paid results.

According to Bing this is a better user experience than coming to Wontek.com where people can actually get real reviews of products and services.

Bing declines to comment on how spam sites like ask.com and Microsoft’s partner yahoo.com and numerous others are able to get away with running link farms, while legit companies such as Wontek.com are left out of the loop.
