Transferring AdWord campaign to different account

Discussion in 'Google AdWords' started by Fili, Sep 19, 2007.

    I am leaving soon my employer, for who I have created AdWord campaign on my private Google / AdWord account. Is it possible to move just a campaign to different account?
    if not, any suggestions what can I do?


    thx

    Just use the AdWords Editor and you can copy + paste the entire campaign to a new account in about 10 seconds.

    No, our company looked into this and confirmed it from a Google. Just export all your data and use it in your new account. If you want, you could even *tweek* your old employer's Adwords before you leave if you had any serious hard feelings...

    You can use the aw editor to copy + paste (or cut + place) entire campaigns from account to account. Of course you're not moving all the history but you are moving all the account elements such as keywords, ad groups, ads, settings, etc.

    yeah Adword Editor is a nice, free feature.

    however, if you really wanted to take your past data with you, try exporting the physical data into an excel file (or something like it). it won't be pretty, but it would be a nice reference especially if you are intending to use much/all the same information from the previous campaign. furthermore, you wont be able to manipulate it, say, to show what happened exclusively in the month of april.
