Opting Out of Microsoft Audience Network

[rdcclu]

In Microsoft Ads, I want to retain these two of Microsoft's sources of traffic for my campaigns:
1. Bing & Yahoo owned search engines.
2. Bing & Yahoo syndicated partners.
And eliminate:
1. Microsoft Audience Network
Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?

Thanks. Good video. Fast response. Couple points...

1. Here are the instructions for creating an account-wide exclusion list:

How to create account level website exclusion lists​

1. From the top menu, select Tools > Website exclusion lists.
2. Select Create.
3. Name your list in the List name box.
4. In the Website exclusions box, enter the URLs of websites that you don't want your ads to show on.

However, there is no "Create" button. So I asked support and they said the button is not there because account-level exclusions is not yet available.

2. In a recent Microsoft support chat/series of emails, the support person told me that it was possible to remove the Audience network by putting in a request. I did that, but did not get a response so I'll give it another shot. Have you heard of this option?

No but I will ask my support rep and see what they say.

Also if you have a manager account you should see the account level exclusion.

Microsoft ads Traffic Quality Issue

Recently I've seen the traffic quality on Microsoft ads has gone down significantly. Some of campaigns show up as really weird user behavior in Hotjar. Like 90% of the users(bots) clicking on the disclaimer link on the bottom of the landing page. The publisher reports show that the traffic is...
