Long ago the keyword tool would tell us if we're already using keywords in other ad groups or campaigns.
At some point this has been taken away. I "suffered" through it, used Editor to find and delete duplicates, and so on.
Can't do it anymore!
How about being bit proactive?!
If the tool shows us keywords that we already have in other ad groups and campaigns, it will save us a lot of time, really.
Since this is outside of "interface" thing, I'm posting it separately and hope AWA will pick it up, since the other "long time" wish thread has been killed by WW folks.
Thanks
Long ago the keyword tool would tell us if we're already using keywords in other ad groups or campaigns.I think it was 'only' inside the current campaign? For the people who do not know what this is: when you used the keyword tool to find keywords for adgroup X you could use the option "do not show keywords that exist in this campaign or adgroup". So back then you would never have the problem of duplicated keywords.
They removed this very useful option about one year ago when they 'improved' the keyword tool.
Back then I contacted Adwords support asking them if they removed it by accident. They told me they would look into it but that was one year ago. I also posted it as a please-give-it-back request in the "wish thread" in the hope someone would pick it up. That was also one year ago.
I hope they will restore this option.
-edit-
Checked my email archive. They removed this option two years ago.
(I kinda miss that other thread. :) )
AWA
I would also like to see it applied in the Opportunities section too. The same general keyword gets suggested over and over in almost every product specific ad group I have.
