Top vs. Other

The Keyword Performance Report got a new feature with the “Top vs. Other” column. This new column shows the performance of ads when they are in the mainline (top of the page above the organic results) and the right side bar. You’ll find Top vs. Other by scrolling to the bottom of the Available Columns section in the report builder.

Bing Ads Top V OtherWhen running a report using Top vs. Other, you’ll see keyword performance data on any or all of these options:

  • Bing and Yahoo! search – Other
  • Bing and Yahoo! search – Top
  • Syndicated search partners – Other
  • Syndicated search partners – Top
  • Unknown – You’ll see this if you are looking at results prior to the feature release of 3/14
