A few to get us started:
- Allow campaign-wide negative keywords
- Allow more than 1024 characters for negative keywords
- Allow you to change ad order language (eg. US English to UK English) without recreating an ad order
- Dayparting by hour (not time blocks)
BTW, a big thank you to adCenter411 for his assistance to date. His WebmasterWorld posts have been a great help in getting up and running with adCenter since the UK launch.
'We need to enter a list of keywords (maybe up to 100) and define whether the keywords should be deleted from a specific campaign or a specific order.'
'We really can't spend hours finding each keyword and deleting them individually. '
Adcenter411 - this issue won't go away. We could delete poor traffic phrases - reducing load on your servers. We would delete poor converting phrases - and then spend more money on those that convert. An incentive worth following?

One question: What is the delay in the stats with msn?
'Go to manage keywords and you get a list of the first 100 keywords - but they aren't sorted alphabetically!'
This could be fixed in around three minutes!
Grrr!
I've been on adcentre for around two weeks (when it was released in the UK) and the number of impressions so far is about the same number of impressions I get from Google AdWords in a few hours. The above could be a big factor.
Today I can't save bid change or add new keywords via bulk import - system hangs forever.
Don't add more stuff until you fix the system you have.
A "select all" button to change matchtype accross hundreds of keywords.
The ability to change budgets of several campaigns instantly.
The ability to change the scale on the graphs in the reporting section.
Having changes go live within, say, less than a day.
Make the interface work in Opera. Actually, scratch that. Just make it work.
Don't use lots of little scrollable layers.
It's really annoying to start filling in data only to have the focus pulled to another field (after the background data finishes loading many seconds later).

Get the login page to display inside 1 second. Why does such a simple page take so long to load?
Today I can't save bid change or add new keywords via bulk import - system hangs forever.
Ah Ha! So its not just me then!?
I cant change my bids for keywords either, it just hangs! This is not very good how am I ment to improve ROI when I can't change anything!?
Thanks,

Thanks again,

If the budget is set at $1,000/month, stop at $1,000. Don't keep going to $3,000 over a 3 day period when adcenter changes your .11/click ad to $11/click, until you finally pause your account. Which takes over 24-48 hours to take effect, by the way.
Change the messsage that you will receive a response from Ad-center within 24 hours - False advertising.
Send your advertisers ambien for post Ad-center problems. Maybe an anti-frustration pill if you can develop one...
This would save us time and the exceptional level of annoyance that this causes regular users.
adcenter411 - please note that because the system is slow anyway, it often takes a while to determine if its (even) slower than normal or actually fully down.
I have one very simple question.
It isn't a dig at you or any of the superb support guys and gals that really go out of their way to help.
I would just like to know "Why are so many of the basics within Adcenter flawed"?
This was a product developed to compete with Adwords and Yahoo Overture - this was not unknown territory. MSN were able to draw on the all feedback made about Adwords. This wasn't about reinventing the wheel, so why have so many of the fundamentals missed out all together?
I feel for all the support team. When you start with the structure of campaigns and orders and keywords as you have in Adcenter you really are asking for trouble. Did no one look at Adwords.
Rant over. It's history now the product has been developed.
Just would love to know how it all went so wrong.
In Google AdWords, I can put {keyword} in the target URL and the keyword used to bring up the ad will appear in the referring URL and in my site logs.
Overture has ovraw and ovkey.
Is there any way I can get the keyword attached to the URL so I can track?
- Create an 'Automatically Remove Duplicate Keywords' toggle when submitting new keywords to an order - this would save the tedious process of removing keywords that might already have been in the order manually.
- Create an order-wide broad, phrase, exact toggle so we don't need to do this manually by keyword
- Show Max CPC bid for each order from the order list, and allow us to change max CPC order-wide from the list (removing the need to go into each order manually, click price estimation, wait for it to load, make change, save)
Oh - and of course, faster system response (too many page load delays) and fix the system hangs (which are still happening today). Thanks for listening! :)

Better stats - "Show performance data for" You shoudl be able to check dates & also monthly data by day for everything and not per campaign.
Faster?
More Traffic?
