New AdWords Feature? Control Panel & Library

January 28th, 2010

Another New Feature for AdWords?

I noticed a new link today in the AdWords User Interface labeled “Control Panel & Library”

Control Panel & Library

Unfortunately the page does not load correctly, instead loading an error message.

Loads Control Panel & Library Page with Error Message

Once this error message is dismissed the page continues to try to load data without success. It looks like work in progress to me and I am sure Google will have this working soon.

It “seems” this feature will store exported reports in a library for future access. This will put reports at AdWords members fingertips in the AdWords Interface. This is only my assumption because the page does not load correctly.

I will ask Google for comment on this new feature and report back with details when they become available.

1/28/10 Update: Google Employee AdWordsProStephen was kind enough to share the following:

“The Control Panel and Library will be home to key cross-campaign settings like custom alert preferences and scheduled reports.”

Thanks AdWordsProStephen!

AdWords: Segmenting Device & Click Type Data

January 18th, 2010

How to Segment your Device and Click Type Traffic Data

Google recently launched Click To Call for high-end Mobile Devices.

Excerpt From Google:

“your location-specific business phone number will display alongside your destination url in ads that appear on high-end mobile devices. Users will be able to click-to-call your business just as easily as they click to visit your website. You’ll be charged for clicks to call, same as you are for clicks to visit your website.”

To allow AdWords members to analyze their data Google recently added the ability to segment this mobile device data.
