when testing a microsoft ads campaign, how do you decide whether search partner traffic is helping or hurting performance? do you compare conversion quality, cpa, bounce rate, and placement data before changing distribution settings, or do you separate the traffic from the start?
 
i usually check conversion quality and CPA first, then look at placement data before deciding if search partners are worth keeping.
 
hi i think you can try running a test and compare the results and check conversions or cost and traffic quality before deciding to keep or remove search partners.
 
I usually don’t separate it from the start. I let it collect some data first, then compare CPA and, more importantly, actual conversion quality. If partner traffic is bringing cheap conversions that don’t turn into real customers, the low CPA doesn’t mean much.
