    Hey there!

    I am a newbie with Adwords Editor. I managed to import all information to Adwords Editor via csv file except the images. I get an error "Failed to read image ad's image data."

    I tried different ways to import it but get the same error:
    (Header Name => Field)
    image name => book.jpg (where does editor locate it?)
    image file name => c:\book.jpg
    image url => http://www.example.com/book.jpg

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    hi Sideburn,

    you can't import the images into Adwords Editor via csv file BEFORE you upload them into Adwords Editors using the tabs first.
    The reason you got the "Failed to read image ad's image data" error is because the images data is not imported in Adwords Editors yet which means
    there is no way for Editor to recognize the image such as book.jpg on your csv file.

    So upload the images into 1 adgroup through Adwords Editor tab "image ads" under "ads" first, and you only need to do it once, then you can use the csv file to mass upload the images ads for other adgroups and campaigns

    I hope that helps
