Using page scraping seems like an inefficient and cumbersome solution, not to mention that it violates the google terms of service to use automated means to navigate pages, though I doubt they would care.

I am that clients cannot have more than 100 campaigns (Google has raised my campaign limit to 100). I am more surprised, however, that this issue even exists. Am I the only one who needs to put thousands of ads for different products on adwords? How do others handle this?

Consider building an application that will drive a browser and will automatically create clients -- look at WATIR and Selinium, nominally testing suites, as a framework to build your application.

Ideally, the adwords API should handle this -- but in the meantime, automating browser actions may provide a stopgap solution for you.

best regards,

This question has been posted before, but I did not see a usable solution.

I have several thousand clients, who change daily. Each will have up to 200 or 300 adwords ads.

I was going to create a campaign for each client. But this is impossible since the number of campaigns is limited to 25.

It was recommend that we create an account for client, but that is not administratively feasible to do manually.

I do not see a means of creating an account using the API which would be the only solution.

1. Is creating an account using the API possible? 2. Is there another solution? Someone else must have this problem.
