Microsoft Advertising has temporarily suspended the ability for agencies to send out client connection requests.
Microsoft is now showing two rows of shopping ads at the top of the Bing Search results. There is even an option to expand them to show more ads.
Microsoft Advertising’s team posted its monthly recap of what is new with the Microsoft Advertising platform. There are new items across Shopping campaigns, audience ads, and Performance Max (PMax) management and more.
I don’t know if you might also like this, you probably won’t but Bing is dropped ads in their featured answers, featured snippets. They are calling these ads “You might also like.”
Microsoft Advertising is reportedly testing a new reporting template design, which is refreshed and looks new to look at. The new design is under the reporting and then templates section of the Microsoft Advertising console.
Microsoft is testing placing a new tag on some sponsored ads within the Bing Search results. This tag is in blue and says “Local Business,” which I guess helps promote local businesses near you.
Microsoft is now showing why it selects or chooses to show a specific ad directly in the Bing search results. When you click on the arrow down by the URL of the search ad snippet, you will get window dialog that may explain why the ad was shown.
It looks like Microsoft is testing search ads that auto expand to reveal sitelinks under those ads within the Bing Search results.
A few weeks ago, we saw Microsoft testing green colored sponsored URLs for the Bing search results. Now I am seeing reports of both underlined and bolded URLs and titles of the sponsored results, where the organic/free listings are not underlined or bolded.
Remember the Bing shopping / e-commerce cards? Well, now it looks like Bing is putting an ad slot in them and labeled them as ads.
