Microsoft Enhances adCenter, Offers Tips

The Microsoft adCenter team took the holiday break to put some "finishing touches" on some enhancements to the service. These enhancements include:

- Custom Date Ranges, and
- Custom filters

The custom date ranges allow you to customize your campaign performance grids for easy viewing of performance data for campaigns, ad groups, ads, or keywords for custom time periods that you specify, without having to run reports.

"Date ranges for up to 31 consecutive days within the last two years can be utilized, or you can use the existing adCenter preset date ranges if they work for you,"
Custom filters allow you to find important info by applying column filters to campaign performance grids. This lets you ignore under-performing keywords and concentrate on ones that do better. "You can use this functionality to display keywords with high spend but low click-through rate so you can spend time optimizing them, and pretty much manipulate the data to your own ends," says Mel. "In addition to applying filters to the data values, you can also set as many as three custom filters on certain columns."
