Anyone know if there is a way to submit a datafeed to them without a cashback reward (like you do to google base). I see some of the products in their search coming up without the logo and I am guessing that they aren’t organic.

Still trying to decide if this is going to be worth my time.

I spend a great deal of time deleting fraudulent orders….basically they order to get the cashback credit, then cancel their order. I have to go back and make sure it gets cancelled with Bing so they don’t give the fraudster credit. This consumes too much of my time. No, I haven’t lost money, but I lose time, just as bad.

Yes – it is producing marginal results –
small percentage of shoppers coming throgh bing – less than .05 conversion

Cashback percentage is assigned by the merchant. It must be equal to or greater then what you pay out via other affiliate programs.

With most comparison shopping engines, you fill out a form, post a credit card and you’re live in a day or two.

In typical Microsoft fashion, “email us for info” wait a week for a response – read a 34 page integration document that had so many fonts and graphics it was barely readable. Fill an excel form (This is Mircrosoft, they can’t produce a “live” form to email back?) and then wait for another week

They are truly the King Of Complicated

Can anyone tell me how the amount of cashback is determined?

Thanx

Hey Brian,

It’s been a long time

In my experience, I see one major drawback with their Cashback offer to consumers. Savvy shoppers will go to cashback forums like FatWallet and then go through Bing Cashback to get even more back in their wallet. This results in double-dipping revshare for advertisers.

Just my $.02.

PS. And I told you that Ciao was gonna be a success.
