Yesterday morning Microsoft adCenter, Bing’s search marketing product, went offline for a period of time. Microsoft confirmed the outage in the Microsoft Advertising Forum yesterday and this morning confirmed it was fixed.

The first report came yesterday morning, Monday, December 27th at 7:30AM. Microsoft then confirmed the issue about 20 minutes later. This morning, almost 24 hours after that report, Microsoft confirmed it was fixed.

Paul K. from the Microsoft team said:

Exactly what caused the issue is unknown. I doubt it was related to the big winter storm we had here Sunday and Monday but hey – you never know.
