Adwords Text Ad Composer Gadget: Eventually An Adwords Tool?

October 30, 2008

iGoogle has a large number of gadgets available for use within iGoogle accounts.

Google account holders can search for gadgets to add to their iGoogle home page from ten different categories.

Google gadget categories to select from:

* News
* Tools
* Communication
* Fun & Games
* Finance
* Sports
* Lifestyle
* Technology
* Politics

…and the newest Gadget category: * Editor’s picks.

I focus on several areas of interest while working online and I have used Google’s gadget search to locate gadgets for making my work easier.

A search for gadgets under Adwords produces four page of results.

I found an Adwords gadget I like and recommend called the Adwords Composer Tool.

Once added to your iGoogle page, Google users can create and then test whether or not their Adwords ads meet Google text ads maximum characters per line criteria.

Each line of Google text ads allows the following maximum number of characters:

Ad Title: 25 characters

Ad Description Line 1: 35 characters

Ad Description Line 2: 35 characters

Ad Display URL: 35 characters

Ad Destination URL: 1,024 characters

With the Adwords Gadget, Adwords advertisers can compose mock ads without having to log in to their Google Adwords account.

It would be great if Google would add an ad composition tool to their set of Google Adwords Tools and then make it available externally like they when they created their “Adwords External Keyword Suggestion Tool“.

Until then, this Adwords ad composer gadget from Wisitech will do.

Adwords advertisers can also go to Wisitech’s web site to use the tool if they prefer.

Adwords Examples on Google Maps

October 11, 2008

I was giving a presentation in Utah last week using Google Local Search and Google Maps as examples which evidently included new distribution points for Adwords advertising.

In the examples below, you can see an Adwords ad displayed in two locations in both types of Google Maps products being searched.

A search for Trump Soho Hotel in Google Maps produces two Adwords advertisers ads – one in the top left corner above Google’s local search results with the other ad below the map itself.

The same search in Google Street View also generates two Google Ads in the same locations as in the Google Map view search.

Its not clear to me as a Google Adwords advertiser just how I can get my ads distributed and displayed in these local map search results.

None of my geo-targeted Adwords campaigns are generating these types of ad distribution results.
