Is Bing Selling Fake Clicks?

[MeatLoaf]

I was facing the same kind of issue with fake clicks on MS Bing Ads. I have wasted so much much money and Microsoft support did not help me at all. All they did was a partial refund.

I give you an example.

Keyword that has on Google around 350 searches a month, has 350 clicks a day on Bing PPC Search Network. Imagine getting 10x traffic from Bing vs Google. Nonsense. I started looking into this when I saw those traffic spikes from BING but zero conversion. Nothing. Not a single conversion but huge amount of clicks.

This is all fake traffic from some bot farms clicking on my ads.

Stay away from BING it is a joke.

There is a really stealthy chromium bot hitting Bing Ads at the moment. Looks like at least a third of the clicks on Bing are from bots now.

It sounds like your traffic is getting skewed by bots or fraud, and possibly some issues with your tracker setup or ad network attribution. Bing might not be the problem directly, but competition or malicious traffic could be affecting your results keep an eye on click quality and consider adding more filters or verifying traffic sources.

Looks like bots might be having a field day with your clicks! Check Bing’s fraud protection and tweak your tracker to block out the bots.

That's impossible. Bots on BHW .. sound ridiculous

I remember having conversation long time ago about fake traffic with FB. had show logs, Ips.. live records .. they couldn't come with reasonable answer .. Google and Bing are the same.

Of course they have the tools to prevent fake/bots clicks but why would they?

Last time I checked the fake visits from any paid ads platform was above 10%

It may not be Bing attempting to sabotage, but rather a mix of tracking issues and external factors, such as click fraud or misconfigured settings.
