Grow your business by advertising on bing, MSN, Xbox, and more!
Hi All -
Does anyone know where to find a list of available website placements?
I'm trying to run a site-targeted campaign (separate from my keyword traffic) but can't find a list of sites to choose from.
I'm not exactly sure why this is happening.
Am I doing something wrong?
If I'm doing the right thing, the only explanation that makes sense is that MSN (Live / Bing or whoever) is crawling the landing page (or website) of my ad and is choosing content sites for me. But if that's the case, the list should be much longer. I'm advertising a reputable education site with hundreds of content rich pages (most of which have a page rank of at least 3).
If there's a page somewhere that has all available placements listed (like in Google AdWords), I'm not able to find it. Ideally, I'd like to put in a few of my most important keywords and generate a list of sites. Does anyone know if that is possible? And fi so, how??
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
I wanted to bump this question which I found while searching the exact same question...
Where do I find a list of sites on the AC content network, that I could use for site placements or exclusions?
Obviously I can run the Publisher Performace report, but that'll only tell me what sites my ads have already run on.. . where can I find a list of the rest of the sites on the content network?
Hello zibbieone,
Thank you for your post inquiring about website placement.
Currently there is no list available due to Bing always updating new websites to have ads placed on. I will try and look into finding someone results for you.
However, without details of your account i cannot determine why you are only seeing 4 results.

Paul I'm having a problem where no matter what I do in setting up a placement campaign, MSN refuses to allow me to progress in setting it up. I'll run a placement report, see all my content network sites that I have been advertising on and want to target specifically - then when I add them to the box on the add placement screen, it refuses to accept them, and just goes yellow. The box is highlighted yellow. There is no way to proceed.
And as you say, there is no way to see a list of available placements. Which I find odd since Google AdWords does give you a list.
How can I proceed in setting up a placements campaign when the very placements the MSN Placement report gives me from my past advertising history, the placement campaign itself refuses to accept and gives me no reason except for turning yellow.

Just to confirm one part of this question:
We cannot get a list of existing placements, and we never will. The question kind of doesn't make sense at a macro level. This is similar to asking if you can get a list of all of the keywords available. We have no idea what someone is going to search for next, or what page (placement) a publisher is going to add next.
There are certainly tools available for helping with the most popular ones. And you are on the right path by trying out the placements report to go find targeted sites (very similar to running a search query report).
As to your specific question about the 4 sites you are having trouble with - let's leave that to the adCenter folks.
You are misunderstanding what I am saying. Even MSN and Adwords provide a list of suggested Keywords to use. So you can start bidding on those kind of suggestions. Im not asking for a full list of available placements. Im asking for ANY available placements - and those are not provided. And as I said, I tried putting in placements from my own placement report that I ran, and AdCenter errors out when trying to continue. When creating a placement campaign, the box itself just goes yellow when I try and proceed.
I saw that an MSN rep just replied to my case, so I will work with him directly. But wanted to further explain to you cause that I was you are thinking this isn't making sense on a macro level as you say.
I apologize for my misunderstanding. For a list of suggested Keywords to use, please download the Microsoft Ad Inteligence Tool here -

Please let me know if you have any quesiton on the MAI tool.
Im not looking at all for keywords. I know that is available. I was suggesting how a list of any possible PLACEMENTS - similiar to the way keywords are suggested would be great.
I still cannot create placement campaigns. It says EVERY SINGLE ONE of the placements I put in - and these are ALL PLACEMENTS I got from the MSN placement report itself - are not part of the placement network.
Please email me your account information/number to ‘ adcforumresponse[at]microsoft[dot]com’ so I can investigate your issue?
I gathered all of the information we have on "placements" please see below. If you have any additional questions, please send me previous post with the ask for your account information and we can have a further look.
Hope this help!
