Microsoft Mixing Ads & Organic Results In Bing Search Also

Bing Mixed

Some are seeing Microsoft placing ads in the Bing Search results mixed in between the organic results. Google has been testing this for a while now, calling it dynamic ad placement to try to make it sound like a good thing, and now Microsoft seems to be testing this in Bing Search as well.

Khushal Bherwani shared a screenshot of this on X - which I cannot replicate - but here it is:

Bing Mix Search Ads Organic

You can see there is an organic result, followed by two sponsored results, and then more organic results. Maybe it is a bug? Maybe the first result is not labeled as an ad and it should be? I don't know. But it seems like we are seeing search ads show up after the organic / free search results.

We have seen Microsoft do some really shady stuff with hiding search ad labels over and over again. So I am not sure what this is about.

Forum discussion at X.
