To manage large lists of negative keywords for their paid search campaigns, advertisers commonly compile negative keywords into lists that are shared across related campaigns. As a result, undetected and unintended negative keyword conflicts can arise, blocking advertisers’ ads from being shown. The Microsoft Advertising product negative keyword conflicts report shows advertisers which of their product ads are actively blocked by negative keywords, giving them opportunities to make updates as needed. In addition to showing which ads are being blocked, the new report also identifies the match type of the negative keywords and the conflict level (for example, at the campaign or ad group level).
