Budget Optimizer - Waste of Time?!

    Hi there,

    Is it just me, but Budget Optimizer always believes it can get me an extra 800 clicks than I have been getting without it - but whenever I try it, it only just meets the same amount of clicks as last time. I left it about 20 days to 'do it's thing' before giving up and reverting back to manual. Anybody else found this or has it worked for other people?

    Chris :)

    Budget Optimizer is like giving your wife your credit cards and a private plane to go shopping. Complete waste of money.

    I second that. I would only use the budget optimizer if I had unlimited $$$ and could care less about conversions or any other important metric.
