• Baidu: The Search Monitor now monitors Baidu paid listings. Both brand and phoenix nest listings are monitored. To add Baidu to a campaign, you must select this country and language combination: China, Chinese (simplified).
• Stacked Bar – Knockout Charts. Custom charting now includes 2 stacked bar chart options:
  • Affiliate Knock-Out Report: This chart shows you the % of the time when affiliate URL Hijackers have ‘knocked’ you off of a keyword so that the affiliate’s ad appears and yours does not. It provides you with a metric to quantify the loss caused by direct linking affiliates.
  • Rank Knock-Out Report: This chart shows you the % of the time your competitors’ ads ‘knock’ you out of your desired rank on a keyword or list of keywords e.g. rank 1.
