Don’t be alarmed if you are not seeing your own ads! Here is a great explanation straight from Bing…

 “Recently there was a system improvement implemented to enhance our current search algorithms. Part of this enhancement detects the likelihood of a particular user clicking on ads based on their preferences, history, and other quality factors.  The search engine learns about the users and how likely they are to click on an ad.  Users who are more likely to click, see more ads, while users who are less likely to click, see fewer ads.

Advertisers might not be able to verify that their own ads are showing on Bing as easily, due to their usage patterns or history.  Searching for ads without clicking on them may prevent advertisers from seeing their own advertisements when they look for them.  If you are unable to view your ad, please be aware that it does not mean your ad is not serving.  In fact, this helps to verify that the system improvement is in place to ensure your ads are shown to quality users who are most likely to click on your ad, providing you the best value for your advertising strategy.

I understand that advertisers would like to see their advertisements to validate that their ads are showing and to check their competition.  We are hoping to have a tool that allows advertisers to validate whether their ads are showing and where in the near future.“
