The new interface... not sure if I like it.

    What about you, AdWords users? Before today I played with it a few times and I new I would not quite like it because it makes it harder to create, let's say, 15 ad groups with 3-4 ads in each. At least for me. Changing things IS easier with the new interface. Creating - no.

    i think new interface is easier to use.

    But sometimes it shows blank on firefox and chrome. Just show properly on IE.

    Not sure am I the only one that having this issue.

    I was creating ads the whole day yesterday and today and although I have no difficulty anymore figuring things out, still somehow the layout and the way the things there move and twitch keep irritating me.

    One thing is better from old interface is the ability to see your ad is 'waiting to be approved' compared to just 'active' in the old one when it was actually waiting for approval - so users wondered why they are not seeing any impressions. However, I don't see the search feature in the new one - for eg. if I had to search for a text in any of my 25 campaigns I would type it in top right search box and adwords would search it for me the campaign/adgroup/an ad, I don't see this in new interface.

    I am sure they will add the search feature sometime soon. At least I hope so. The interesting thing is, I actually emailed AdWords support a few months back asking them if they could consider adding a "waiting approval" feature, particularly for banner ads. I guess a few people mentioned that ot them since they added that feature (although I do not know if they have it for banner ads).

    Although I haven't used it that much lately since I have been doing Bum Marketing for sometime, I do like the new interface. I guess I still have to get some work done on it to see if it's really a good thing.

    The good thing so far though is that you have the ability to switch between the new and the old interface.

    I don't think we can anymore. It redirects you to the new page and there's no link to the old one.

    Yes I just checked it out and the link seems to be gone indeed even though they say you have atleast 30 days in which you can switch between the two.

    I guess we have to get used to it whether we like it or not

    I don't like it at all. IMO it is quite a step back from the extremely fast response times and lightweightness of the old interface, more towards the crappy and slow YSM/MSN ones.

    I was watching an AdWords video about the new version and several people there who worked in it mentioned that the goal was to make a faster interface. Hmmmm....

    I am actually used to it by now. So I will stop complaining. :)

    I'm not a big fan either but we will soon have no choice. I do suggest using the desktop Editor although there are some issues there too. No reason you can't use both but do so carefully.

    Yes, I guess I am gonna it my own words now. After using it for about a week now, I should admit it's an unbelievable achievement of the AdWords team. Changing things now is a snap. I like the speed and the fact that I can quickly view my campaigns by groups, ads and keywords is a huge plus.
