Set AdParams at the AdGroup Level from a Google Spreadsheet

I've had a few people ask me how to update my previous script about Setting AdParams at the Keyword Level to be able to set them at the AdGroup level. Here is an update to that script that does just that.

To use it, you will need to create a new Google Spreadsheet and load it with the adgroup name, param 1 value, and param 2 value in columns A, B, and C respectively (with column headers). Then copy that url into the script and you should be good to go.

Thanks,
Russ

Dynamically Adjust Campaign Budgets v2.0

UPDATE 2013-04-06: Made sure daily budgets are multiplied by 30.5 to turn them into monthly budgets (line 150).

UPDATE 2013-04-06: Made sure that when the budgets are reset, they are divided by 30.5 to turn them into daily budgets (line 95).

UPDATE 2013-04-07: A big thank you to FoxSUP for helping me track down an issue with updating the budgets. Fixed line 78 to multiply the current budget by 1+to_change instead of just to_change. Also fixed a bug in calculating the change(line 56).

This is an update to a previous script I put together to dynamically adjust campaign budgets. There have been a few asks from some of the comments and I figured it would be easier to combine them into a new post.

The script will now keep track of the budgets you set at the beginning of the month via a Google Spreadsheet. You can also fill in the LABEL value if you only want this to operate on campaigns with that label name. Leaving it blank operates on all campaigns.

Thanks,
Russ

Issues With The New Reporting API

Like many of you, I've been trying to sink my teeth into the new reporting functionality that was recently added to the AdWords scripts late last week.  Unfortunately, I've been getting errors even when I use the sample code given in the API. If anyone has been having the same issues, there is a thread on the forums where you can wait for the AdWords Scripts team to resolve the issue.  As soon as it is resolved, I'll start posting some sample code.  I have been working on an auto trafficking of user queries script that is pretty cool.

Thanks,
Russ

Update Your Bids from a Google Spreadsheet

Today we have a little script to help adjust bids at a large scale.  This is an example of how you can use the integration with Google Spreadsheets to update some of your bids 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=0Aotb6eheEOpodEhDM2hqQmhfeTdHT3BLMl80aDRxTkE

Thanks,
Russ
