Bing Ads with UET tags - A guide

Common Pitfalls

• Bing Ads will not activate until you fund your account have an active campaign.  There is no test environment.
• The conversion may take a long time to record in the Bing Ads Campaign Manager.  A really long time.  We've seen conversions take  6+ hours to post.
• You cannot just pull up your site and click a few pages hoping to see activity on your Bing UET tag.  You must create an ad, trigger it, click on the ad, and then place a test order on your site.

What you will need

• A funded Bing Ad account.  Start here: https://secure.bingads.microsoft.com/
• A UET tag.  See this microsoft help article: http://help.bingads.microsoft.com/#apex/3/en/56682/2
