It’s far easier than that! Just use Google AdWords editor - File - Export whole account in csv format and then import it to adCenter using the desktop tool. If there are errors they will clearly be shown and usually they are simple things like reducing ad text.

The destination url doesn’t import. Anyone notice this?

This will help you turn draft campaigns active without visiting each individually.

Interesting Information should give it a try

if you are going to keep dynamic keyword insertion in for the ad description/destination URL ensure you change {KeyWord:Default Text} to {keyword} and note its case sensitive.

also I found I had to put in the adcenter column headers (from the template) otherwise it wouldn’t accept the file

anyone found a bulk way to submit the newly imported from “draft” to “active”?

Rian - glad you’ve found this useful. It was a task I put off for ages too but it’s not that bad in the end.

I’d be delighted if you do link to the article and use a short excerpt but please don’t reprint it in full, thanks!

So far the best way (that I’ve found) is to create campaigns in excel and upload to Google via the adwords editor. Then simply modify the excel sheet slightly to also do the upload to MSN. (via their import feature). I havent tried to export from Adwords first, then go to MSN.

Nice tips thanks. However, those implementing it should keep in mind that the market share of MSN is much smaller than that of Google - so don’t freak if you see few less hits and conversions. However, MSN users are known to convert better, at least in some markets, so who knows…

I agree, there is no one near big enough to battle Google advertising.

I hope it does help Jamdo - let me know if I’ve missed any steps when you get a chance to follow it through.

Mark - I’m not convinced that there is much room for anyone else in the market to compete on an equal footing. I suppose I might have thought the same before google came along but they just seem to have both sides (audience & ads) totally cornered.

Will we ever see a real alternative to Google Adsense and Adwords. I think that there is a market for someone willing to put the big bucks in and take on Google - but who would be brave enough?
