The clock struck thirteen…

No, I’m not saying that MSN is watching everything that you do, I’m referring to the part of the book where they happily announce that the chocolate ration has been increased to 20 grams, despite it previously being 30 grams. A week or so ago I received an email from MSN letting me know how excited they were to let me know that I’d been selected to participate in their new beta program, where all of my ads would now automatically be displayed on their content network. How sweet of them to be excited for me, I felt special… but wait a minute, what if I didn’t want to be on their content network? Well, there’s a way to opt out they say. So here’s the way to opt out. Go to your account, click on a campaign, click on an ad group. Then look for the text to “Select ad distribution”.

Clicking on the actual text expands your options.

…and after a few seconds there it is. All you then have to do is hit save, and wait for the save dialog to pop up. Then repeat for each of the other 500 ad groups that you have live in their system. Or alternatively you can do as we did, and email MSN support, giving them your account details, and they’ll take care of it for you in 2-3 days (fingers crossed).
