Gaining back your lost keyword history

[samseo]

I know its well known that any change to the ad text, url and also moving a keyword from one campaign to another really hurts your "keyword" history and you end up paying many times more to gain the position you had earlier. Somehow one of our team, moved the keywords from one campaign to another. Damage is done!

Is there any way of working back to the same position without spending so much?

If I move the keywords back to the original campaign, will I get my old histroy back?

I may be wrong but I think you will. With the recent algo changes, there have been a number of threads where people have tried to re-activate keywords that have become disabled. The general gist is that the history stays with that account & url. So I believe that if you move the keywords back to the riginal campaign group, they should still carry their old history. However, perhaps a email to adwords might clarify this. Good Luck!
