AdWords Editor beta

A bit about the AdWords Editor beta

Last week, we quietly launched a beta version of AdWords Editor -- our downloadable AdWords account management application which allows you to quickly and easily navigate your account and make changes. Since then, our friends over in AdWords Support have been hearing from quite a few of you interested in this beta product, so we caught up with Andrew from the AdWords Editor team to get the scoop:

Although we'd like to give all of our advertisers access to AdWords Editor (we really would!), for now, we have limited the number of users so that we can manage the load on our systems.

Our goal is to make this product available to all advertisers as soon as possible, so if you haven't received an invitation to try out the product, please be patient. We'll be selecting beta participants from advertisers opted into participating in market research, so if you're interested in being a part of this and other limited betas, you may wish to opt-in to "Market research" on the User Preferences page of your AdWords account.

Adwords in Print

Inside AdWords

The official source for information about AdWords

Going once, going twice -- your ad in print!

Here at Google, we like to test things. Some of these tests eventually become full products or features -- in fact, we have a whole section of Google Labs dedicated to Labs graduates like Google Scholar and Personalized Search. On the AdWords front, features such as image ads and site targeting were once small scale experiments too.

Recently, we've been testing the placement of ads from our AdWords advertisers in select print publications. To help us figure out where and how we can best bring value to print advertising, we've experimented with text ads, templated ads, and full page display ads. And now, in the continued spirit of testing, we're auctioning ad space in well-known magazines. Why? Because we want to better understand our advertisers' interest in this ad space and see if this type of auction makes sense for print.

So if you've ever wanted to see your ads in print, check out http://www.google.com/printadsauction where you can view information about participating publications (including popular titles in the automotive, lifestyle, and technology verticals) and bid on full, ½, and ¼ page ad units. The deadline to submit a bid is February 20th, after which your bid will compete against other advertisers' bids to appear on the publication's page. Similar to the online AdWords auction, you'll never pay more than the maximum price you set, and you may end up paying even less. After the auction closes, we'll contact the winning bidders and work with them to deliver print-ready ads to the relevant publishers. For more information, be sure to check out our FAQ too.

Who knows, you just might see your ad in print at the price you set...happy bidding!

You love taking photos. You love your photo collection on your computer. But your options have been limited if there's no easy-to-use photo software available in your language. So if you lived close to Wieliczka, Pulau Seribu or Wat Phra Kaeo, you were stuck with English-only.

But no more! The team behind Picasa has now added 25 new interface languages: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Estonian, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Tagalog, Polish, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Catalan, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.

All of these languages are one click away. Just download Picasa, and it will automatically match your system's native language. If you wish to change your Picasa language, go to Tools > Options and use the pull-down menu on the "General" tab. (You'll need to close and re-open Picasa to see your new language selection take effect.)

Shouldn't you be able to organize your photos no matter where you are and what language you speak? Of course.

Google Earth in Mac

Google Earth in a Mac world (PC too)

by Chikai Ohazama, Google Earth Team

We feel like proud parents around here. Our eldest, Google Earth for the PC, is officially leaving beta status today, and we couldn't be more pleased. For those of you who downloaded early, upgrade to the latest and discover Google Earth all over again.

And we have a brand new member of the family -- Google Earth for Macintosh. We're happy to finally have some good news for the, ahem, vocal Mac enthusiasts we've been hearing from. Let's just say that we have gotten more than a few "requests" for a Mac version of Google Earth. They've gone something like this:

1) "When is it coming out? Your website says that you are working on it."

2) "You know, Mac users are very heavy graphics/mapping/visualization/design/ architecture/education/real estate/geocaching/social-geo-video-networking fans who would certainly use Google Earth a lot."

3) "So when is it coming out?"

We heard you loud and clear. The Mac version runs on OS X 10.4 and up. Happy travels throughout Google Earth, whether you're on a Mac or a PC.
