Update Ad Params from Google Spreadsheet

2013-07-11 - NOTE: For those wanting to update AdParams at an AdGroup level, check out an updated version of this script.

Today we have a little script to help adjust keyword ad params at a large scale.  This is an example of how you can use the integration with Google Spreadsheets to update param1 and param2 values for keywords.  I have provided a sample spreadsheet which you can make a copy of.

As long as the Adwords Account and the Google Docs account use the same login, it will be able to access any spreadsheet you have.  I suggest opening my sample spreadsheet and then making a copy if it in your account.  You can then replace the URL from the script below with the url of your copy of the spreadsheet.

Link to my sample spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aotb6eheEOpodC1yVjUwc2Y1NDIzUVFLLThJdTFPUnc#gid=0

Thanks,
Russ
