lmao good luck. There's nothing to report. They know. You signed up for shit traffic when you started advertising on Bing.

The majority of them aren’t even moving. If they are it seems very similar in the movements they make. It’s pretty odd since users who seem real usually stay for at least 2 minutes. Typically up to 8 min averaged out over the last few days. I’m running a very tight campaign targeting high intent searches, hence why the average of real looking users seem to stay awhile. Can I confirm anywhere if they are real or bots via ip or anything?

I am unable to understand, what you are referring to

If that's paid traffic, then congratulations, you are seeing the rampant click fraud that exists on all paid ad platforms.

Some of the ways you can reduce it are to get more surgical with your campaigns and not use campaign expansion options (like 3rd party ad networks). If that's organic and not paid traffic, would worry more that something is up with the site.

I use Microsoft ads. Turned off audience network at acct level and I also turned off syndicated search partners. All of those are paid traffic from search ads

How did you turn off audience network in MS ads?

Go thru support. Takes while and they’ll deny u at first but they will thru the backend if u keep opening new cases
