NegativeSite Data Object - Campaign Management

Defines a website URL where you do not want your ads displayed.

Note

You can only view website exclusion lists in the redesigned Microsoft Advertising UI i.e., via Tools -> Shared Library -> Website exclusion lists. If you don't see it, look for the "Try the new Microsoft Advertising" prompt when you sign in. To use the redesigned Microsoft Advertising you must also be in the UI pilot (GetCustomerPilotFeatures returns 522).

A negative site can be added and deleted from a PlacementExclusionList (website exclusion list), but cannot be updated.

If you associate any website exclusion lists with an ad account, the list of negative sites are used in addition to the campaign negative sites or ad group negative sites. Negative site URLs specified at the ad group level are used instead of any negative site URLs specified at the campaign level.

For more information about managing negative sites and website exclusion lists, see the Negative Sites technical guide.
