It'd be really nice if the ad serving option could be set at the adgroup level, rather than just at the campaign level. Or is there already a way to do that that I'm missing?

netmeg, I think my brain may be running at less than full capacity just now. Can you tell me little more about what you're looking for here? Do you mean targeting to particular regions, countries etc? Opting in and out of the networks? Or?
(ten pages, isn't it time to start another one of these?)
Woohooo! Just so long as there is one such thread hitting the top of the page from time to time, I'm a happy camper. ;) I love these threads. There is even a header included in the WebmasterWorld section of the template for the report which reads:
FROM an ONGOING THREAD REGARDING REQUESTED FEATURES:
On those rare occasions when I have to delete that header (due to a lack of new feedback), I feel an actual twinge of regret. ;)

The specific option I was referring to is located in the Campaign Settings, and is called Ad Serving, and offers two options via radio button - one for Optimize (show better performing ads more often) and the other for Rotate: show ads more evenly.
I'm doing some testing of ads, which means I want to set them (at least temporarily) to the second option, but I don't necessarily want to do ALL my testing across an entire campaign at the same time. Nor do I necessarily want to start new campaigns and move things around (in some cases I'm close to the limit on campaigns, and in others, I'd as soon not lose years worth of history)
That's what I meant.

Excellent.
Got it. Thanks for the clarification, netmeg. ;)

E.g. Provide a column with the total number of keywords that are active / inactive for the AdGroup or Campaign. This would be a great help in homing in on where there is a particular need to review bids, improve landing pages and/or subdivide AdGroups.
I'm not at all sure that such a thing would be possible, ie different bits of your data update asynchronously as data pours through different bits of the system at different rates and with different hold-ups and pauses, and quite likely some data is handled with a higher priority than others.
(For example, on the AS side I'm pretty sure that the paid click data is handled with higher priority than the bulk impression data, which makes sense for a number of reasons.)
So you'd get a nice vague summary line to the effect: "Some of your data is bang up to date, and some of it may still be hours and hours old." B^>

" Reporting is not real-time. Clicks and impressions received in the last 3 hours may not be included here"
This report will not be sent next week, as I'll be OOO for several days attending a conference. However, the following week I'll be sending out the 200th edition - and hope there is lots of feedback to include by then. So I hope you'll keep this thread (or one very like it) alive. ;)
As always, my sincere thanks.

Currently report header includes Date Range, Campaign and Keyword lists, plus Adwords type... but I'd like it to include any and all filters (such as greater than x # of impressions or clicks) as well.
Some of your campaigns or Ad Groups may not appear in search results.
These items cannot be changed in bulk and must be edited individually:Campaigns with position preference enabled
Please eliminate this restriction. Just because I have position preference enabled doesn't mean it's not useful to return keywords in these groups when filtering.
It would be great to be able to download multiple campaigns or multiple ad groups at a time.
The report will go out in about 3 to 4 hours, so still time for those last minute additions. ;)

But there is always next week. ;)
Thanks again.

Example:
Find and Edit Max CPCs
Filter results...
Old Max CPC = $0.30
New Max CPC = $0.50
New Status = Inactive for Search, Minimum Bid = $0.40
Shouldn't the "New" Status be 'Active'... if the "New" Max CPC is $0.50?
Having this column display the New / Proposed Status would be helpful.
:D
that customization as our default display for future logins.
As of this morning, this seems to be working - if I customize the view once, I don't have to come back and re-customize it the next time I log in - it's still there. Big help - woo hoo!
Great thread.
Just a small point... I guess adword has good tools to run it properly.
Still plenty of time (and room in the report) for more. ;)

Anything else? ;)

(Or just show me a way how to find a solution for this problem ;)
