Back in May, Bing Ads announced that it was closing up its Content Network due to low-quality traffic. On July 31, Bing stopped running Content Network ads and took away the ability to create new content ads. This has, however, left many accounts with legacy “content” ads that were made before July 31. These ads aren’t showing on the Content Network, and Bing Ads will now be cleaning these up on your behalf.
After November 30, Bing Ads will begin to label these ad groups properly. Currently, some ad groups can be labeled as “search and content network” (the former default setting) or “content network,” though they would now be the search network or they wouldn’t be running at all. After November 30, Bing will be proactively cleaning up user accounts by performing the following tasks on all accounts:
Advertisers will have the ability to repurpose these ad groups if the ad distribution is changed to “search network” before deletion on November 30.
Most advertisers should welcome this change, as Bing is simply doing some fall cleaning on your behalf.
