What's up with the " Date " In Adwords Editor ?

AbhijeetM · 07-02-2009, 09:56 AM

Hi All,

I started an adwords campaign using the adwords editor yesterday. I downloaded the latest version and installed it. Then uploaded the campaign. It worked fine.

Now today, I want to download the latest statistics so that I can make bulk changes in bid prices and other things. But for some reason, it won't allow me to download statistics for July 2nd. I can only download till July 1st, which was yesterday. ( I am in India )

It has been more that 24 hours since I launched the campaign. I am not sure when exactly the adwords editor will give me the option to download the statistics till July 2nd. My adwords account functions according to Indian date and time. Don't know what time and date adwords editor uses.

Could anyone help me with that and let me know the answer ?

I believe that's the way it's suppose to work. The editor will only download data up to the most recent full day. In other words, it will never download today's data. This makes sense in a programming point of view: the application would have to download and check for changes in data (impressions, clicks, etc) each time you do an update. It would slow things down for both you and the server.

Yeah, I understand that but that's where my confusion is. What time zone does it follow ? Isn't it supposed to follow my time zone like my adwords account ? Or does it follow PST or EST ?...I tried to search it on the net but didn't find anything.

Ok, it follows my time zone. I was in a hurry I guess.
