Yeah, the interface really really sucks. We actually thought of making an adwords campaign manager for our YC idea (making buying adwords mindless and simple) but if you drill down into the TOS for all the major networks they are anti-competitive to the level of being ridiculous. It took me a few hours to actually figure out the adwords interface and I still don't fully understand it.
- axod 19y agoHave you ever endured MSN adcenter? Yahoo? Google adwords is a dream compared to them. Also the desktop adwords editor is excellent - makes big changes easy to do. http://www.google.com/intl/en/adwordseditor/ http://www.google.com/intl/en/adwordseditor/
- mynameishere 19y agothe interface really really sucks I've found the interface very good. I think it took about 15 minutes to go from zero to a worldwide ad campaign. Let's keep perspective. ....................... I pay about 6 to 10 cents per click. I get about 1000 impressions a day with a very small monthly budget. Adsense, by contrast, is completely worthless...maybe one click every couple months. Make sure you aren't corrupting your view of adwords by accidentally targeting adsense (which google encourages).

- axod 19y agoCompletely depends on the sector though. Some things fly on the content network (adsense), some things die.
- jamiequint 19y agoAdWords works great once you actually get it working. Its getting to that point that is nonintuitive, particularly "inactive for search keywords" which are by no means easy to activate intuitively.
