I feel real stupid - after spending time setting up my Excel spreadsheet - I just "discovered" the reports tab.

YUCH!!!! I hate learning curves.

Tomorrow - set up the reporting to match my excel spreadsheet.

FYI - I am starting to see increases in everything - as per plan. No sales yet!!!

Does anyone know how to set position preferences for all keywords at once?

Hi Steven,

Thank you for your comment. I really do wish that you identify where you feel I am doing something wrong.
We both have the same goal - getting to profit.
I am not profitable - I assume you are - then I am doing something wrong. I must be missing something somewhere.

I have tried to provide as much information as possible on my thinking and my approach. Please feel free to hammer away.

I am doing this openly so others can learn...

Oops hit send to fast. I checked google adwords help.
They said the adgroup CPC is just a way to set the keyword cpc quickly. So I haven't changed my adgroup CPC at all.

It would be nice to be able to edit my posts - so that I don't have to add the "oops" and just edit or delete the posts.

[Is anybody actually reading this?]

QUESTION!!!!

I can set a max for a key word and for a adgroup as well.

How does it choose the maximum?

I have set all my adgroup maximums to a 20.00 now since my maximum for a keyword is 1.00, I assume the max that can be spent on the adgroup would be $20.
Is this what shermanchoo meant by a 1,000?
