Campaign Experiments

How would using a different bid strategy, or a different kind of targeting, affect your ad campaign's performance? Would it be better, worse, or basically the same? Now you can run an A/B test to find out.

With Microsoft Advertising experiments, you create a duplicate of a search campaign that receives a split of your original campaign's budget and ad traffic. Then, you can:

Try out changes in the experiment.
See how the experiment performs compared to the original campaign.
If you like the experiment's results, apply the changes to the original campaign or create a whole new campaign.

Here are examples and tips for working with experiments, as well as additional details on our new cookie-based capability.
