Ugh...

I don't have any of this shit. So what now?
 
So bing is asking for Business location and tax information. Should I give my real info?

Also, one of the fields is "Tax identification number (PIB)"

I don't have a PIB. I don't have a registered business or anything like that.

Use your home address. Choose individual account. They check everything and ban in 1 second if something looks bad. So all info should be real and matching card address too.

I don't see where to choose individual account. But I just went back to bing ads, like the homepage, and i've gone away from the page asking me the business info.

I just filled out my information in my account (address, phone number, etc).

Will continue this tomorrow. I'm tired :p

Actually, how do I choose an Individual account? I clicked to add a Payment Method, and again it wants a "Tax identification number (PIB)"

Ah I didnt create accounts for a while. You can use some made up business name like ScorpionAds. But not sure about PIB, in my country I am not asked about that.
Your best bet would be to just ask bing ads support chat. They are 24/7. Just google it.
 
Does bing let you promote clickbank links directly without a landing page!?
Yes they do, as at the time I was trying to promote an affiliate link, the only problem is they will most likely require there is a privacy policy on the page which sometimes are absent on some offers. So in that case you might wanna create a bridge page
 
I've never used Bing ads. A $100 no spend coupon fell in my lap. Any tutorial or tips on how I can use it?

I've been doing a bit of reading, and I think it's worth mentioning that I am not from the US. Though I do have some 100 US proxies (shared).
You actually need to spend $25 in order for the coupon to be applied. Not very satisfied with Bing though.

Thanks for the information. I am going to try doing this. Since I can use these for different offers.

I am assuming I can promote any affliate link not only clickbank on Bing ads. The criteria being Privacy policy page

If it's working the same way as google ads, just leave the field empty or write dummy numbers. That's what I do with churn and burn accounts, but if you want to keep this account on the long term better put real informations.

Yea definitely you can promote any offer, just always hit them up via chat, they also call you sometimes and speak with you over the phone

Well damn. They won't let me proceed with the field empty.

I can't put real information because that would require a registered business, which I don't have.

So I guess all I'm left with is a dummy account. That's not really a problem, however, can I put a dummy address and then add my debit card with no issues?

You don't need a business. You can add your name as legal business name, and your home address in the business address field. Leave GST field empty and enter your personal tax number in the required field (it's PAN number for India). They will accept it. If you enter fake business details, you'll get an error that they can't verify your business and will call you to verify it. So, it's better to use real name and address. Even if you use a fake name & address, you'll get the same error if the area & pin code don't match.

You won't be able to use a regular debit card that asks for sms verification. They need a card that can be used to debit money without your permission, sms verification etc. You can't use fake cards as they'll charge 4-5 cents to verify the card. I think VCC should work.

But I'm not from India man. I just played around by changing countries of my location, and... well first of all, I don't even see India as an option on the dropdown of coutries :o

Second of all, it seems for some countries this field is optional, and for others it's not.

For example, Bulgaria: "VAT registration number (optional)"

My country: "Tax identification number (PIB)"

So for me it's not optional. It makes sense, I've been dealing with limitations due to my country forever. Can't use Clickbank either.

Sooo... what now?
 
I opened live chat to ask them about all this, and 3 hours later I'm still not connected. What bullshit.
 
Strange that such info is mandatory to start a bing campaign. Well then just switch to AdWords :)

Nah, I just wanna use up a bing coupon I got. I expect 0 results from the advertising. But, if something comes out of it, I may put some money in this paid advertising thing.

You can get/buy coupons that work with adwords too. There is also a method on the forum to create $500 threshold accounts. Good luck mate
 
I got one the other day from him. I just created a new account. Used real info and created a new ad campaign.

Then just added the coupon in the billing part. Worked and is currently running smoothly.
Did you add a credit card? It's rejecting cards that require sms verification.
