But during the past weeks I've found myself coming back to it time and time again:D Just a suggestion Kieron. I couldn't remember the domain name last time and tried 'previewppcads.com'. It might be worth getting that. Zin, wackimonki on a4u I thought this tool was pointless when I saw it. But during the past weeks I’ve found myself coming back to it time and time again:D

I read this post when you first published it and just wanted to ask how you are getting on with it? Has it panned out as you expected and are there any developments in the pipeline? Kieron.

Nice to see you're not having a nose at other peoples PPC target Keiron! As a futures idea you could have a bash at including dynamic keyword insertion too - how many people get that one not quite right! It’ll be great when the ad text “moves” from one tab to the other.

The whole point of the tool is that you don't have to mess about with Excel spreadsheets, Word documents or anything like that. And there is a whole world of difference between seeing an ad written in plain text in a spreadsheet and how it would look displayed "live". There are many subtle tricks you can employ when creating ppc ads to draw users attention to the ad and in my personal experience you can't do that in Excel or Word or whatever. Mongoose - thanks for your feedback.

Hopefully you'll be adding additonal functionality that could be usefull to marketers - maybe the ad preview tool on google?

We are looking into how to implement some functionality whereby the ad is copied across all 3 preview pages. There are a few challenges here, i.e. Google only allow 25 characters in the title and Yahoo! allow 40. But am sure we will get round them. I also don't want to scare off anyone paranoid enough to think we are stealing their ppc ads (as if). So am trying to find ways to display the same ad across all 3 preview pages without using a "submit" button. Fun and games! Thanks for the feedback and kind words guys.
