Hi Wes,

Whenever I convert a Yahoo campaign to Google, and add the resulting data from E202 to Adwords editor, the Google Text Ads require manual editing to make them work right.

For every text ad in the entire campaign in Editor, the Description #1 line contains all the text of the ad group's entire description (Desc 1 & Desc 2).

Since Yahoo uses 1 Box for the entire description and Google uses 2 boxes, E202 is apparently not dividing the Yahoo box up.

Has this been reported before and is there any way around it without having to manually edit all the ads?

Mike

it should automatically split the text, although it looks like it is broken, is it not doing it for any of the lines? it is slamming it always into one line?

Sup,

its adding the 1st description line and the 2nd description line into the first description line and its displaying everything else including the 2nd description line perfectly.

title - OK

desc 1 (has desc 1 and desc 2, aka the entire ad desc)

desc 2 - OK

dest - OK

make sense?
