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,

About finding your text ad in search results

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:

  1. Did you recently submit your ad group, ads, and keywords?

    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.

  2. Have you checked successive search results pages?

    Be sure to check the second, third, or even fourth page of Bing results.

  3. Are your account, campaign, and ad group active?

    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.

  4. Are your ads and keywords 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.

  5. Does your ad campaign still have budget?

    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.

  6. Are you dividing your campaign budget across the month?

    Microsoft adCenter provides two options for spending your campaign budget:

    • Spend until depleted
    • Divide your budget across the month
    If you're using the second option, your ad is unlikely to be displayed with every search. To see your ad, you might have to search multiple times.
  7. Does your ad group have target settings?

    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.

  8. Does your search use the same keyword search match types that you defined for the ad?

    Make sure that your search takes into account your keyword match types: broad match, phrase match, exact match, and negative keywords. For more information, see About search match types.

  9. Does your search use the same language settings as your ad group language and market setting?

    For example, if your ad group's language and market 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.

  10. Does your search return any organic search results?

    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
