Can the Google AdWords API do this?

    We have a large number of products that we want to advertise on using Google AdWords and we're trying to avoid the need to have to enter them all one by one. My understanding is that we might be able to use the AdWords API to save a lot of time and energy.

    For example purposes let's say that we're selling music and we have 1,000 albums. For some albums we sell CDs, for some cassettes, for some downloads and for some a combination of all three. What we want to do is put up a custom set of Google AdWords ads for each album specific to the album name and format available.

    Let's say we have Album A ("AlbumA") and it's available on CD and download (but not cassette) We want our ad to be something like:

    Listen to AlbumA
    AlbumA from ArtistA available
    on CD and downloadable MP3
    http://www.recordsrwhatwedo.com (where the searcher is taken directly to our product page for AlbumA)

    And we want this ad to be on the broad match phrases "AlbumA CD", "AlbumA MP3", "ArtistA CD" and "ArtistA MP3"

    Then we have Album B ("AlbumB") and it's available on CD and cassette (but not download). Our ad would be:

    Listen to AlbumB
    AlbumB from ArtistB available
    on CD and cassette
    http://www.recordsrwhatwedo.com (where the searcher is taken directly to our product page for AlbumB)

    And we want this ad to be on the broad match phrases "AlbumB CD", "AlbumB cassette", "ArtistB CD" and "ArtistB cassette"

    Does anyone know if it's possible to automate this through AdWords? If it would be it would save us a TON of time.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Yes, AdWords API can do this. What do you could pay for such a program?

    PaulJones, do you want to do this by your own? See http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api?hl=en - here you can ask your question.

    I found one Adwords API reguest for 500US$ - this is too much. I think, you should bid 100US$ for a simple solution.

    If you can use PHP, then have a look at:
