The top ad networks out there are Google and Microsoft (Bing)
Bing Ads has much to offer their clients but what I am saying is diversify. Never keep all of your eggs in one basket. There are alternative ad networks to use.
Let’s talk about some hard facts first.
Bing also known now as Microsoft uses Bing, Yahoo, and Aol search engines so you get a good reach of about 34% of the search traffic compared to Google which of course is larger.
But there are alternative networks to use that can give you more reach for a cheaper price then these two behemoth networks but I will concentrate on Bing Ads today.
Here are three reasons to use Bing Ad alternative networks:
Ad Spend – The average monthly ad spend for Bing is anywhere from $400-$700 per month.
Depending on what industry you are targeting will depend on how much you are paying per click as you can see from the chart below.
Less Competition – competition can be fierce as advertisers bid for the top space for their ads for a higher ROI. Because of this prices go higher because advertisers are trying to outbid each other.
Target Different Users – Bing Ad alternative ad networks open you up to new users who you could target by domain, topics, and more. Alternative networks offer you a different market of publishers who will carry your ads.
Above are my Three Reasons to try Other Networks as an alternative to Bing Ads.
Here’s my list of 5 Bing Ads alternative Networks:

There are so many other Bing Ad alternative networks to choose from that is too much to list here. I gave you what I feel are the five best but you should also do your research and decide for yourself.
When you are deciding ask yourself these key questions:
- How user friendly is the site?
- What types of ads are served?
- Do they have a minimum account balance needed?
- What is the reach of the network?
Now that you have gathered all of this info you can make the decision as to which network best fits your needs
