How do you add a placement to an existing running adgroup? (not a draft) If I look within help.live.com it says:

1 Click the Campaigns tab.

2 On the Account selected page, click the campaign that contains the ad group you want to add placements to.

3 On the Campaign selected page, in the Ad group column, click the ad group that you want to add placements to.

4 On the Ad group selected page, click Add placements.

5 On the Networks and websites page, do one of the following:

Ok, but WRT #4, where is that "Add Placements" link on the Adgroup Selected page? Has it been changed since the Help file was written? Or is it no longer available? Or am I just blind? :)

OK, I was reading this on how to create a new adgroup with the wizard, and use "Select Placements" on the third page:

At the start of the wizrd I can "Copy an existing ad group" and select my bidtype as "Keywords and Networks", But isn't there a way to Add Placements to an existing adgroup, or must I copy and recreate it with this wizard as the only way?

Hello Honda750,

As per the walk through steps. You must create a new ad group with just Content.

Then you should be able to add the placements you wish.

Get your ad in front of this audience now with these easy steps:

Create a new Content Ads ad group in adCenter
Set the bid type for Networks and websites
Create your ad then select the Websites tab in the Select Placements window
Paste in the below URL (with the underscore at the beginning):
- _msnbc.msn.com
Click Add
Check the box(es) for which section(s) on which you'd like your ad to appear. To appear across all of msnbc.com, then select the check box in the header next to "Networks and websites."
