BingAds is improving parity with AdWords and adding new features in 2019 like automated extensions and dayparting bid adjustments. The Search Query Tool can help identify negative keywords but be careful - don't overuse at the campaign level. For display campaigns, deleting negative keywords often provides more reach. New automated bidding options in AdWords include Target Outranking Share and Target Maximum Conversions. Attribution modeling is now available to optimize bidding using multiple touchpoints. The interface is gaining new features like Showcase Shopping Ads and audience insights.

12. Search Query - Positives
• Almost always, it’s better to add Exact or Modified Broad
match versions of the selected keywords
• Tip:
1. Pull account into AdWords Editor
2. Get Recent Changes
3. Back in the AdWords web user interface, add keywords as Broad
4. Back in AdWords Editor, Get Recent Changes again. The added
keywords will appear highlighted green; change the match type to
Exact

13. GDN Negative Keywords
• Often seen when search ad groups are simply copied into
Display campaigns - truly a rookie mistake
• Negative keywords tell AdWords, “Don’t show my ad on any
pages that contain any of these words.”
• Causes very limited reach, since many relevant pages contain
those words
• Easiest fix – just delete negative Display keywords
