Additional interface for AdWords?

[tomjones2]

Hi all,

As far as I see many of you miss this or that feature on Google interface, so I have a serious question. Are you ready to pay for the features (listed below) implemented on a third-party site, and how much?

----------------------------------

Campaigns upload

Ability to add a variable that would be appended to all destination URL's when uploading a campaign- a random value or {keyword}

Geo targeting – «all except smth» mode

Check box to upload all keywords in all 3 match types

Day parting, basing on days of week, and calendar

Move campaigns between account

Copy adgroups/campaigns

Search duplicate keywords

Alerts – cost, position, low funds, daily budget limit reached

Find people bidding on a word/phrase, monitored 24/7

Automatically pause adgroup(s)/account(s) by SMS

All working from «umbrella account», means all your accounts are accessible via one interface (for the tasks specified above)

-----------------------------------

Thank you for your feedback. If it would seem that such kind of software is on demand then expect a new service soon ;)

I think both adwords editor and adwords dominator do some of those things, and one of them is free ;-)

Hi ronmcd,

You are not right. If you look at the features I posted more thoroughly, you'd notice they have nothing to do with this soft you mentioned. I'm talking about a service, a web based service. The features I've described can't be implemented in a windows-based program like adwords dominator or editor.

Is this a sales pitch?

You are not right

I believe SOME of the features (Campaign uploads, all matching types, copy adgroups/campaigns, search duplicate keywords etc) are already available in adwords editor and/or adwords dominator, one of which is free. I'm not suggesting they do everything you intend.

Are you ready to pay for the features (listed below) implemented on a third-party site, and how much?

I personally wouldnt pay for this sort of service. And remember Google released adwords editor very quickly after adwords dominator appeared, I suspect like that product you would quickly find google would replicate your unique features into their free software.

That's a violation of the developer agreement for the API. You'd have to screen-scrape to do this, and that's specifically not allowed. I know there are programs that do this, but they are in violation. You are not supposed to screen-scrape either the Adwords interface or Google search.

I emailed AWD and asked them if they screen-scraped and if they were in compliance with the developer's agreement. I said I'd buy their product if they were in compliance.

They emailed me back saying that they were swamped with email and temporarily could not answer their email. I never heard another peep from them.

Draw your own conclusions.

2ronmcd: yes, I see Google's reaction is fast but I'm able to create and support such kind of service and add new features much more faster then Google. I have a team of great developers, and any sound user request would be implemented very quickly. That's the difference.
2jtara: All the features stated are to study general interest in them. I was told all of them are implementable, and if a real interest seen I would study all legal issues before launching the service, sure.
Thank you all for your replies.
Any more comments?

Hi all,

I've tried many times to duplicate existing campaings and followed the instructions provided by Google in the new campaign set up, however it does not do it for me for some reason and I always have to email Google to make the changes I want
