Make Adwords Keyword tool more comfortable

Hi,
I did the following earlier tonight to make the tiny field where you're supposed to type your keywords a little bigger (a lot bigger if you want). And this is done with javascript locally in your browser, no Google server hacking is done.

1. For this to work you have to have mighty Firefox.
2. Install the Firebug addon (it's awesome!). Get it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843
3. After restarting Firefox, go to adwords keyword tool here: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
4. Left click on Firebug's icon (it looks like a bug, duh!) in Firefox's status bar.
5. Click "Inspect" in the upper left corner of Firebug's window, then click in the middle of the field that is beneath the line: Enter one keyword or phrase per line:
6. When you click there, some HTML code gets highlighted now down in Firebug's window. Click where it says width: 300px; height: 3em and change the 3em to something like 10em or whatever you feel comfortable with. Change the 300px too, if you want. The changes happen instantly.

It's great to have a bigger field when brainstorming and typing several lines of keywords.
Happy Keywording!

 

Great post. I will have to try this trick. I hate how small some websites make their search boxes. +rep

 

Thanks.
Yes, I don't really understand why that field is so small in the adwords tool. You're supposed to type many keywords / key phrases.

 

This is very helpful! Thanks for sharing this with us.

 

good post for sharing.

 

Nice tip buddy , i will sure try it now .I think you have done very nice work . Now i will make more keywords search at one time . Green rep for you .

 

thank you for sharing.

 

I thought of updating this tip:
Instead of these two steps 4 & 5 above, you can just press Ctrl+Shift+C. Then click on the element you want to inspect.

Thanks for the rep atulperx.
