Read the article here.

In Microsoft Ads’ ad quality review, they identified an increase in policy-breaking behavior in 2020. As a result, they suspended almost 300,000 accounts from the Microsoft Advertising platform in 2020, which was a 30% increase from the year prior. Microsoft noted that they have also removed 1.6 billion bad ads and an additional 270,000 sites from their system in 2020 alone. The pandemic created a unique situation in which there was a massive spike in new demand for new and hard-to-find products such as Covid testing kits and vaccines. At the same time, Microsoft noted that there was also a rise in the online presence of businesses of all kinds and an increase in consumer interaction, including those consumers that may not have previously interacted with businesses online. In 2021, Microsoft plans to continue to leverage its two-pronged system of automated reviews powered by machine learning paired with manual reviewers to continue to improve the search experience for businesses and searchers using their platforms.
