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. 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/
