Is There a Way to Add Thousands of Keywords to Google Adwords Content Network Campaigns?

[pbm1986]

I know you can only post up to 50 keyword phrases per ad group in adwords adgroups, but is there a way to add keywords and adgroups faster? I have thousands of keywords and hundreds of ad groups and it's taken 6 hours today just to add 2,500 keywords and 50 ad groups.

Is there software or special way to speed up the process with the adwords panel?

You are in luck, there is software developed by Google for this very purpose, it works great, and it is free!

The Adwords Editor software is an absolute essential if you are going to be managing a large account or multiple accounts. I manage over a dozen accounts and wouldn't be able to do it without the editor. There is a little bit of a learning curve, but not much, and once you get past it this tool will save you an incredible amount of time.

Some of the features include:

- Store your account (Don't have to worry about losing work)
- Use to manage multiple accounts
- Add keywords, ads, ad groups, etc. in bulk
- Export to spreadsheet
- Make fast edits in Excel
- Literally just copy and paste from campaign to campaign
- Import Campaigns, Adgroups, or even entire Accounts
- Advanced search
- Add comments as you make changes
- Sortable performance statistics


It is totally free and works great although it takes a little bit of time to learn to use. Google does free web training every now and then - you can sign up to be notified of their schedule here: http://adwordsagency.blogspot.com/

There is also an Adwords Editor Guide here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/adwordseditor/AdWordsEditorGuide.pdf

Eric Werner is right. Adwords Editor is a life-saver. I bet you wished you had that 6 hours back huh? lol

Something I use to actually generate highly targeted PPC campaigns is Fast PPC. It's only like $20 or something and compared to other PPC campaign creators, it's the best as far as delivering the highest value-per-dollar.

Campaigns are extremely focused because of its built-in search box that sifts through your keyword list and narrows it down to tight Adgroups.
