Hi, I have a question: why aren't my ads showing up on Bing? They're only showing up on Yahoo. I have "Maximize Clicks" set as my bidding strategy, and I'm also using Microsoft Complete Networks for ad distribution. Is there a reason or update that might be filtering out my ads on Bing? Thanks.

    There could be several reasons why your ads are showing up on Yahoo but not on Bing, even though you are using Microsoft Complete Networks for ad distribution. Here are some potential factors to consider:

    1. Ad Relevance: Your ads may not be deemed relevant enough for the Bing search results based on the keywords you have selected. It's essential to ensure that your keywords align well with the content of your ads and the landing pages.
    2. Bidding Strategy: While you have set "Maximize Clicks" as your bidding strategy, it’s possible that your bids are not competitive enough for Bing's auction. This could result in your ads being shown less frequently or not at all.
    3. Ad Quality: Bing evaluates the quality of ads based on various factors, including the click-through rate (CTR) and the overall quality score. If your ads have a low quality score, they may not be shown on Bing.
    4. Targeting Settings: Check your targeting settings to ensure that you are not inadvertently excluding Bing users. This includes geographical targeting, device targeting, and audience targeting settings.
    5. Ad Distribution Settings: Although you are using Microsoft Complete Networks, ensure that your settings allow for ads to be displayed on Bing specifically. Sometimes, settings may prioritize partner networks over Bing itself.

    If you have reviewed these factors and still cannot identify the issue, it may be beneficial to consult the Microsoft Advertising support for more detailed troubleshooting.
