I just took over an account and have started to realize it has a lot of ad groups that do not have any keywords. Is there any way to quickly find all ad groups with no keywords in an account?
I spent about 2 hours yesterday trying to find a way to do it with the editor and didn't make any progress. Sucks - looks like this particular campaign has thousands of ad groups that don't have keywords. I suppose there's no real harm in leaving them, although I prefer to to not muddy up accounts with things that sever no purpose. If anyone has any ideas please share. Thanks.
Go into your campaign, and select "View All Ad Groups" (Next to create new campaign). Make sure the keyword tab is selected, and then you can see at a glance by scrolling down which adgroups are empty.
That would work for a smaller set of ad groups - this account has thousands and thousands of ad groups. If I can't find a somewhat automated way to remove them I'l just leave them. Edit: I did gie that a quick look and was given the message:"You have exceeded the maximum number of ad groups (30) that can be displayed."
