I couldn't reply to #7, so I thought I'd start a new one.

A feature I'd like to see is excluding certain ip numbers of hosts from seeing my ad. Especially click-happy competitors.

Email notification when you are invoiced or end of month email with one simple pdf invoice with all that month's transactions on.

Email not being secure, I don't think they'd be likely to do the latter. I kind of hope not, anyway.

If the same campaign is running for various countries or regions , can we have some stats which area is performing better and giving good conversions?

No idea if this has been suggested before, but please can we have a tool to provide a list of inactive keywords across a whole account/campaign, with an integrated ability to increase the max CPC to set the keyword active?

Would help me lots - not sure if this already exists?

[Kings on steeds]

chrisk999, Can already be done with advanced search & edit!

Tools > Advanced Search and Editing > Find and Edit Max CPCs > Uncheck the Active Check Box ('so you only show inactive keywords') > Increase each keyword's Max CPC to the recommended minimum bid

AWA, Would love to see my keyGroups idea,

This is kind of a feature I would like to see, in fact it is, but I also want some wider feedback, call it market research! On this idea!
Ok, here we go, stay with me, “keygroups”!

One problem I/ and I think most advertisers have, is covering all the base’s with regards to there keywords. So you have a football league and you see t shirts for each of your teams at the moment you have to generate all your keywords with prefixes and suffixes for all keywords, so I have the teams,

Widget United
Widget Lane United
Widget Road United

And I want to add

T-Shirts
Tshirts
Football Tshirts
Football T-Shirts

And your keyword lists get very big very quickly. So this is my idea, being able to list your prefixes & suffixes to a list of “WordBaces” in your account, so my KeyGroup would contain, As “WordBaces” or “BaceWords”

Widget United, Widget Lane United, Widget Road United.

And then I would list T-Shirts, Tshirts ect.. as either a prefix of suffix or both of the keygroups “BaceWords”. You would also specify (“link”) an advert to a “BaceWord” inside a “KeyGroup”

keygroups would work in place of AdGroups, so you decide to either create an AdGroups or KeyGroup.

So what do people think? Firstly who understands? Secondly who likes it?

Thanks,
Alan

Breakdown the reporting into timing. So, for example, one can pull a report for 11/8/06 broken down by 2 hour fragments.

The latest ideas will go out in the Advertiser Feedback Report in about three hours (or so).

Any others? ;)
