"Filter Your Results
Show only keywords that match all of the following criteria:"
I miss conversion related choices.
- phrase right
- phrase left
The way how we would enter them is:
[word1 word2”
“word1 word2]
So the first case would trigger ads on any query of type “word1 word2 word3 etc”
The second case would catch anything like “word3 etc. word1 word2”
This would help me to determine the position of my phrase in complete query. It would give me so much more control over my keywords which would directly affect the quality of my campaign, in positive meaning.
I’ve suggested this about year and half or more ago, no luck. I you folks find this interesting, please support.
I do.
I don't want my ad to be shown to the same person 50 times. Or if the same person is shown the ad numerous times maybe I could create an inventory of Ads to be shown, so that person doesn't get bored with the same 2 or 3 text ads.
RhinoFish, your Oct. 29 post is an exception to this - as it was simply too long to fit. However, I'll do my best to find the right person(s) to take a look at in the next couple of business days.
Sorry not to include it in the report, but it will be seen.

Let's give them some weight...

I now have three clients who are barking at me about why I (as their adwords consultant) can't find a way to help them control this, so I am grateful that you're taking it to the right person.
Still time for more - another five hours at least - so please feel free to add late-breaking ideas/feature requests.

If I could see some patterns in what people looked for and didn't click then I could probably reduce the amount of wasted impressions by using negative kws better.
This might lead to a few things:
Savings on energy and therefore better for the environment.
More cash for me as my CTR improved and I became more relevant thus helping Google to make more cash.
How about it AWA?
Separate bidding for different geographies at campaign level, so I don't need to setup completely new campaigns to vary my bidding for regions.
Opt-out for smaller regions. So I could select the US as a whole but opt-out of New York city as an example :)
1. Show status information (active not active)
2. Show quality score (minimum bid)
3. Edit CPC bids per targeted site like in a keyword campaign.
Currently you can not select one, two or more sites and edit only the CPC bids for those sites. When you click on edit cpc bids you will allways see a list containing al sites.
For changing keywords bids:
It is possible to raise all bids for selected keywords to the minimum. However, it is not possible to lower all bids to the minimum.
Because the above is not possible this is taking me a lot of time. When I have 500 keywords and I would like to lower to the minimum I first must lower it to 0,01 then save, then find the 0,01 keywords, then raise to the mimimum. In other words: a lot of steps that could be scipped by adding about 5 lines of script :( Also note that this is not only costing a lot time but is is also eating a lot of Google's server resources.
Copy campaign settings
Would be great if we could copy all campaign settings from one to another. I'm doing a lot with selecting specific countries for a campaign. This is costing me a lot time. Or another option would be countries listed in a txt box so you could easily copy/paste (and even edit it) from A to B.

This would apply to "Ad Variations" tab.
Even better, create a new report that would show only those that did not trigger clicks. The description would be just the opposite to existing Search Query Performance, like this:
“View performance data for search queries which triggered your ad and DID NOT receive clicks.”
It is a well known fact that every time Google launches something, in the public relations material it likes to point out the fact that the changes were made due to user demand.
Now, hand on your heart Google - how many times have you been asked to exclude GSN sites?
At least come up with a valid reason why you have not done this. Is it a technical reason? You have done it with the Content Network so PLEASE PLEASE listen to your advertsiers again and do this.
Placement Targeting accross GSN
This is what we want and we want it bad! Give it to us!
:-) Thanks
Separate bidding for different geographies at campaign level, so I don't need to setup completely new campaigns to vary my bidding for regions.
Totally agree, although i wouldn't necessarily stop at separate bidding. There are many instances in which you would want a generic campaign run in parallel with location specific campaigns. Yet pricing, adcopy and destinationurl might be different for each city/region. Perhaps a feature like {dynamic region insertion variables} could eliminate much duplication and is worth considering given the growing attention to localized search.
See explanation here:
[adwords.google.com...]
On that AdWords help page, the bottom section lists the banner sizes to be used if no resizing is desired. The 200 x 200 Small Square should say 200 x 189 in that bottom list on this page.
Please fix the help files here.
Introduce an option to opt out of Domain Ads - that is surely something that Google must be able to do?
If we put {keyword} at the end of URL, that will get replaced by the phrase that has triggered our ad.
It would be much better if we could use {keyword1} and {keyword2}.
{keyword1} would be our phrase, while {keyword2} would be a real phrase.
The form would be URL?{keyword1}&{keyword2}
Now, does anyone have any feedback for the similar Google Analytics thread? ;)

NEED MORE RESOURCES ON THIS.
Ok, so my AdWords Editor is reporting a boatload of keywords as 'inactive', when the console seems to think they're active; in fact one Ad Group's gotten well over 5000 impressions today. I'm seeing this both in Search and Content, although mostly Content. And this is in more than one Account. When I fired up my AdWords Editor and saw all those 'inactive' markers, I like to have had a heart attack. What's up with that?
The report goes out in about five hours; in case anyone would like to add anything, there's still plenty o' time. ;)

Don't show my ads on my own site.
Within AdSense, add your own domain to your block list.
Or within AdWords, do the same.
Don't show my ads on my own site.
A different take on this same quote... as a marketer and ppc consultant, i often have the need to show clients what their ads i'm running look like (especially click-to-play video ads). On my marketing site, would be great if I could show their ad. I've tried site targeting, but my site isn't relevant to their products cuz it's about mu consulting biz. Perhaps MCC account could have a showcase feature or something similar where we can specify the url / page and have an ad show there that's not tracked for clicks, imps and doesn't even go anywhere (like the ad preview tool).
We already have “Keyword Status” under reporting, but this tool would really be focused onto finding what is not going well within account which would be a great push for many advertisers to work on improvements.
