How DoesThe Microsoft Ads (Bing Ads) Affiliate Conversion Integration Work?
After installing our software, our system will track your session and click data, pick up relevant IDs and information, and place unique click IDs in your affiliate links. Once a sale is registered in the network and reported back to our system via API or Postback, we will attribute that conversion to your session and click data and import it into your Microsoft Ads account as a Conversion Event.
The tracking of your data is split into two essential steps:
Traffic Data Tracking
Your traffic data is tracked by our JavaScript tag, WordPress plugin, or API connection. Those will also make the necessary adjustments to your affiliate links.
Conversion Data Tracking
Your conversion data is tracked using the affiliate networks’ API or Postback endpoints. We frequently fetch sales data by accessing the networks with your API credentials, or the networks automatically push your conversion data to our system via Postback URL.

Benefits Of Tracking Affiliate Conversions In Microsoft Ads (Bing Ads)
Increase ROAS
With your affiliate conversion data in Microsoft Ads (Conversion and Revenue columns), you can easily improve your Microsoft Ads account’s ROAS (Return on ad spend). Simply add the ‘Revenue’, ‘Cost’ and ‘Return on ad spend’ columns within your Microsoft Ads interface to see which campaigns, ad groups, keywords or ads are actually generating profits and make bid or status adjustments according to that. If you have only started with our Microsoft Integration feature, you should first wait some time since you need to collect some data before making the right decisions.
You can finally find campaigns that drain your budgets without returning any revenues, making it easy to eliminate campaigns that are creating losses.
By eliminating unprofitable campaigns, you can increase the bids and budgets of profitable campaigns, reducing your ad spending and increasing your revenue, which will improve the overall performance of your Microsoft Ads account.
You can set up a custom ‘Profit & Loss’ column (Revenue—Cost), which will also help give you a quick overview.
Automate Your Bid Adjustments With Microsoft’s Machine Learning
With your affiliate conversion data within Microsoft Ads, you can automate your bid adjustments by selecting ‘Maximise Conversions,’ ‘Target CPA,’ or ‘Target ROAS’ as bidding strategies within your Microsoft Ads campaigns.
Once you have selected one of these bidding strategies, Microsoft Ads will use Machine Learning to automatically set bids for your keywords and ads.
Microsoft Ads’ Artificial Intelligence will determine whether a user is likely to convert for your website and then adjust the bid accordingly to increase the probability of that user going to your website. It will also decrease your bids for users who are unlikely to convert.
Since Bing / Microsoft Ads has a lot of user data, it makes sense to trust their Artificial Intelligence to optimize the bids of your paid ad campaigns fully.
