In a big slap in the face for any AdWords advertiser who has put effort into getting reviews on reviewcentre.com, the site has been removed from the list of third party review sites Google uses that counts towards your lovely little yellow stars on your AdWords ads (AdWords Seller Ratings). When I spoke with Google […]
Just over a month ago in this post, I complained about how the location targeting in Google Shopping was completely illogical (IP address overriding the location that was manually set by the user). But guess what, Google listened to my feedback and fixed the problem! (OK, maybe it is just a coincidence…) So, now, if […]
You are going to have to do this before the end of this year (2014) apparently. Though it is not currently possible to migrate from PLAs to the new Shopping campaigns it will be at some point, so if you want to get some practice in the mean time you will have to set up […]
Sorry if I have been very slow on this one and it has been around for ages.

Can this be done? If you are using CPA bidding, on the face of it, it looks like you can. Not so long ago, for campaigns using CPA bidding, when you clicked on Settings, Devices or Settings, Locations, the bid adjustment column would not allow you to make any changes at all. This changed a […]
I upgraded my old AMD Athlon II to and AMD Athlon IIX3 (Don’t laugh, those of you with state of the art processors). The Windows experience index says that the speed of the CPU increased from 6.3 to 6.9. Anyone who has used AdWords Editor for big accounts knows that it can be sluggish. So […]
I noticed this for the first time on google.co.uk today… There was even a pop-up alerting me to the fact (though I can’t get that to reappear now). Has this been done to avoid potential lawsuits from competitors? I’m not sure.
