    I've been working on this for the last week or so and it's finally ready for public release.

    You might have heard of SpeedPPC before. The creators are charging $497 for a desktop application that mixes keywords together and creates custom ad groups in CSV format for importing into Adwords EDITOR. You can create thousands of custom ad groups and custom ads in mere minutes. The software is actually quite good, but also quite expensive.

    Because of this, I decided to program my own version and release it as open source for free. It is written in PHP and is MUCH faster than the desktop version (in my tests anyways).

    You can test it out on my server or download it for use on your own server. No advertising is included, no costs are included, and the files are not encrypted. You can see everything that is happening if you just open up the PHP files (no fear of me stealing your campaign data).

    You can get the full details and download instructions from this post on my site.

    Enjoy!

    My only concern is if you are collecting info from affiliates..

    At least it is open source and you can download it yourself and see if that is the case. That is what I'm going to do. I'm not a PHP ace though, so the more eyes the better for everyone. ;)

    That's why I made it open source. I knew people would be worried about that kind of stuff.

    If you look at the source code, the data is only sent to the same page via a form POST. No databases are used and no emailing is done.

    I assure you, it's clean. If it wasn't somebody would have / will expose it :)

    Derek - This is great. Very kind of you to offer it for free. You could easily have made a lot of money with this tool...

    Looking forward to see it in action.
