For the last couple of months I have tried exact match keywords. Before that I was using phase. I removed my exact keywords and loaded up my old phase list two days ago. None of them are showing, everything says active. I have a adcenter rep looking into it, but she has no ideas so far. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
My fault, I had "Destination URL" instead of "Destination URL {param1}" as my 1st line when I was updating my keywords in the adcenter editor. So they didn't have a url.
adcenter support found it for me.
thanks
Hello mlulm,
To find your text ad on Bing results pages, use the Ad Preview Tool. If you can't find your ad, try these troubleshooting tips:
If you can't find a recently submitted ad in the search results, wait a few hours and then check again. Sometimes there is a delay between the time you submitted your ad and the time it is displayed.
Be sure to check the second, third, or even fourth page of Bing results.
Although you may have given us your credit card information, it's a good idea to double-check your account status. The Accounts & Billing page shows the status of your accounts.
Select a campaign or ad group to check its status. Campaigns and ad groups that are live have a status of Active.
Click the Ads tab or Keywords tab to view the status of ads or keywords. Ads and keywords that are Active are approved and live. Ads with Inactive status are not live during the review process. Note that both the ad and the keywords must be active. If a keyword that is associated with your ad is inactive or disapproved, your ad will not be displayed in search results.
Review the Change campaign settings page to see how much budget you have available or whether an ad group has the status Budget Paused because you reached your budget limit. For more information, see How campaign budget limits affect ad display.
Microsoft adCenter provides two options for spending your campaign budget:
If the ad group is targeted to specific geographical locations, times of day, or other target settings, you might not see it if you don't meet the targeting criteria. For example, you might be in a different city than the one you're targeting.
Some web services offer public proxy servers, making it possible for you to see your ads by using their servers. Check the Internet for these web services and instructions for how to view your ads by using the specific service. For more information, see About targeting.
Make sure that your search takes into account your keyword match types: broad match (The broadest keyword matching option. If customers search by using the words in your keyword list, in any order, your ad will display. Broad match can also trigger displays for synonyms, plurals, and related phrases, even when they're not in your keyword list.) , phrase match (A keyword option that considers your keyword a match with a customer's search query if the query includes all words in the exact order given, even in combination with other words. For example, "toy plane" is a phrase match with "toy plane" and "wooden toy plane" but not with "toy wooden plane.") , exact match (The most focused keyword matching option. When you choose exact matching for a keyword, your ad will appear only when that exact keyword is entered with no other keywords.) , and negative keywords (A specific word or phrase that helps to prevent your ad from being displayed to customers who are unlikely to click your ad.) . For more information, see About search match types.
For example, if your ad group's language and market (A set of websites that is typically defined by a geographical region, but can be accessed by everyone regardless of where they are located.) setting is English - United States and you are searching www.bing.com with English (United Kingdom) language settings, you will not see your ads. To change your Bing language settings, go to www.bing.com, click Options, and select the correct language.
If a keyword does not trigger any organic search results, it will not trigger paid results either. In that case, try using a different keyword from the same ad group.
Thank you,
Microsoft Advertising Support
