Controlling time of ads delivery

    Hello everybody.

    Does anyone know a way to set an AdWords campaign so that the ads are only delivered between, say, 3:00PM and 7:00PM each day? I got a customer who has his sales pick at that time and it looks like it makes sense to deliver ads at that time, too. Now, I'm not too sure if that time also provides the best conversion, but the question still remains: if we are able to (properly) identify the best time of a day for ad delivery, what would be the proper way to control that with AdWords? I'm not opposed to using third-party tools as long as they don't cost an arm and a leg.
    Any link, idea or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

    Cheers!

    There may be some third-party solutions that will do this for you.

    I have a hunch we'll see some dayparting tools available in AdWords soon....that's the only reason I haven't hooked up with a 3rd party solution.

    I read an article last month that indicated dayparting would be out very soon.

    Does Overture offer dayparting? I was at a conference last year and an Overture rep told me they were going to offer that feature "in the near future".

    If they do I've never even noticed. I seem to be spending less and less with them every month. I just haven't had time for their run around "customer service".

    AdCenter has dayparting already...:)
