Free $200 Ad Credit For New Bing Subscribers

We were blown away when we first heard that Bing was offering $200 worth of free ad credit just to sign up as a new advertiser to try their service.  This is how it works.  Kevin Lee and Catherine Seda, two search engine marketing experts, have written a well received book on Search Engine Marketing.  In the back of this book, Search Engine Advertising,  there is a promotional code that can be redeemed on Kevin Lee’s website.  The deal is, you must purchase this book to receive your promotional code.  We called our local Barnes & Noble and had them hold us a copy.  Once we purchased the book the promotional code was in the back as explained.

When you take the promotional code from the back of the book you’ll head over to a page on Kevin’s site where you will fill out a short form requesting information such as first and last name, company name, title, email, website url, and whether or not you already do search engine marketing.  Once this email is sent off you’ll receive a return email within a couple days.  As a side note we received our return email in a little over 24 hrs.  We signed up on a Sunday and received the return email on a Monday.

From there you will take the code in your return email and signup for a Microsoft AdCenter account.

So What Will It Cost You

  • In order to redeem your $200 you’ll need to purchase the Search Engine Advertising book by Kevin Lee and Catherine Seda .  Our purchase at the local Barnes & Noble was about $13 (New).  You obviously are not required to keep the book if you don’t find value in what is covered.
  • Microsoft Advertising Center has a one-time nonrefundable sign up fee of $5.00.
  • That’s it!

Important Terms & Conditions

  • This is available to United States subscribers only
  • The offer expires June 30, 2010 (midnight Pacific Time)
  • This offer is for new adCenter advertiser only
  • You have 90 days to use the entire credit or it will expire
  • Limit is one ad credit per customer

We were excited to find out that the promotion is still running as it has been about 5 months since we redeemed our credit.  This offer will not last forever and as you can see, there is a final end date that is already listed.  If you’ve been contemplating getting into paid search advertising or want to tryout your skills with a new search engine, be sure to take advantage now.  Enjoy!

    my default search engine is Yahoo but now i am using BING because it is much better than Yahoo. i heard that Bing search engine would power Yahoo search also.

    Hey Heather, I’ve tried using Bing search when it first was launched and found the results to be less than favorable. I haven’t tried it since then so I’m sure the results have gotten much better by now. As far as our advertising with Bing…we did fairly well. We were surprised that the first conversion came in after only a couple clicks.

    Awesome, will buy and hopefully get 500+ clicks for free haha..

    I was banned from Adwords for the Acai/Oprah CPA offer thing a while back, and this should get me back on track without breaking the bank.

    Thanks

    i think that Bing is not as good as Google. Google would still index new websites faster than Bing. Microsoft would still need a lot of catching to do with GoogleBot.

  5. Kim Lautner says:

    I use both Bing and Google search engine and i dont see much difference in their search results. I use google for searching hard to find academic topics and Bing for general search.
