Google’s new Adwords Interface is no longer in Beta

Thursday, August 6th, 2009

Google recently announced that they have removed the ‘Beta’ level on the new AdWords interface. Though there are some who doesn’t like the new interface and would want to have an option of getting the old one, Google confirms that the testing of the new interface which was started back in November 2008 was already done and is confident that the new one works fine.

Google also said that they will be upgrading some advertiser accounts which will be available exclusively on the new interface. This is the result of their continuous expansion of the test made to advertisers during the ‘Beta’ times.

With the new interface, I think Google should still include its old version as an option for those who are more comfortable of using the older one. Let’s see if Google could still integrate their old interface to accommodate these users in the future.

Google Adwords to add Location Extensions

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

On its recent announcement, Google Adwords said that they will be allowing advertisers to add full addresses through local extensions on their search ads. On this way, advertisers can create new local ads from their existing text ads.

This new service is a good deal since advertisers will no longer need to have local business ads as a different ad unit – a service that is beneficial to the advertisers’ side.

This new service is not yet available for all, though. This will slowly be available in the upcoming weeks. Also, this will be available, on your choice, in the future. You just have to log on to the AdWords, then to the campaign side. Click on Settings. On Audience>Locations section, select ‘Show relevant addresses with your ads.’ To make this possible, a Google Local Business Listing is required.
