Is there an mass ad edit feature?

    I've got hundreds of ads, all I really want to do is change a few strings and urls in each. Is there a way to mass edit all of them rather than doing them one by one and group by group.

    I'd just download the campaign, make the changes in Excel, then re-upload.

    How to upload the Excel? I found the link to "download campaign", however, can't find the link to upload it.

    Thanks

    You have to be a higher level user as defined by monthly ad spend with YSM to take advantage of the bulk import feature. My advice is to contact YSM and submit your files with a request to bulk import.

    Thank you, ocwebtech,
    Yes, I just opened my account. I use adwords for a long time. Yahoo is really hard to use. I even can't find out how to give each keywords its own url :(

    Unfortunately, Yahoo requires you to have spent $500 for 3 consecutive months in order to get the import feature.

    Here's a hint though if you've got your campaigns already setup: email support and tell them you've got some Adwords campaigns that you'd like to transfer over to Yahoo. They should accommodate you and give you a one-time import.

    Yes, they will do a one-time bulk upload for you. However, if you then want to make bulk changes, you're out of luck. After spending sufficiently over a few months, though, you can qualify for an upgrade, and then it's easier.

    Wow. I had no idea there was a higher level user level to attain.

    What are the benefits of being a higher level user, aside from bulk import?
