I've hit a brick wall with the new Adwords interface. I'm no longer able to enter in unique destination URLs per keyword into the new Adwords Interface such as the following: Band of Brothers Audiobook ** (URL for this audiobook) Molecules of Emotion Audiobook ** (URL for this audiobook) Benjamin Franklin Audiobook ** (URL for this audiobook) ETC. So for each keyword it takes users to the adjoining destination URL (as opposed to the overall destination URL for the Ad Group). We used to be able to do this in the old interface and that is how we entered in almost all of our keywords. But with this new interface it says this is invalid for a keyword and I couldn't figure out how to do it in Adwords Editor either. And I can't access the old Adwords interface now. Grrr! Our entire Adwords campaign was designed around entering in keywords with their destination URLs en masse like so: Band of Brothers Audiobook ** (URL for this audiobook) Molecules of Emotion Audiobook ** (URL for this audiobook) Benjamin Franklin Audiobook ** (URL for this audiobook) ETC. We had created a whole script on our back end that auto-generates all the keywords and their corresponding destination URL. Why does Google remove functionality with the update of their Adwords interface? I thought the whole point of an update was to add and improve functionality? Grrr. Is there any other way to add keywords with their destination URLs en masse? Here's Google Supports official answer to me. "Thank you for your reply. I apologize for the delayed response and for the frustration you have been experiencing. I'm sorry to let you know that with the new interface, you will not able to upload in bulk keyword level URLs with different destination URLs." BOOO the New Adwords interface! It's worse than New Coke! We want Adwords Classic back! I'll update this if anything changes but for now BOOOOO! Isn't there anyone else out there that used this feature?! Why have you forsaken us Google?! Why must you prevent us from giving you advertising dollars?! BOOOOOOO! Is there any other way to add keywords with their destination URLs en masse? And don't reply that you can enter in destination URLs individually within the interface as that is impossibly tedious and don't reply that you can edit the destination URLs for multiple keywords in Adwords Editor as we have 1000s of products with 1000s of keywords going to 1000s of destination URLs so again that is impossibly tedious! HELP!
All I can suggest is get your keywords set up on an excel sheet as columns for keyword - keyword type - max cpc - destination url -status then copy and paste it into the "add/update multiple keywords' box in adwords editor
There is a new Spreadsheet Edit feature. This link might be useful too: https://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?answer=144415&hl=en_US
Ok. The Spreadsheet Edit function worked! A little painful but I got it working. Few notes to anyone else that comes across this issue. You can copy from Excel or from a Google Spreadsheet but it seems you're limited in terms of the amount you can copy. I can only copy about 300 fields at a time. Use CTRL+C and CTRL+V for copying over destination URLs. I couldn't get their Copy and Paste function to work it all but that may be because I'm on a Mac using Firefox. Also it was a bit difficult getting my spreadsheet of destination URLs to sync up with the list of keywords as I had some duplicate keywords in my spreadsheet which Adwords auto-deletes within a single Adgroup, but I was able to delete those duplicates from my spread sheet and I got it working. Thanks for pointing this out. I hope Google brings back their function that did this: Band of Brothers Audiobook ** (Audiobook URL) Molecules of Emotion Audiobook ** (Audiobook URL) Benjamin Franklin Audiobook ** (Audiobook URL) ETC. That was so much easier.
