As Jen reports over at SEW blog, Google has finally added the highly anticipated ad scheduling feature to Google AdWords. Here is a step by step, on setting up your campaign with ad scheduling.
(1) First locate the campaign(s) you want to set up for ad scheduling. You will see a "New" word in red, that is the ad scheduling option, it looks like.
So even though I think I set my time zone, not once, but twice, I had to do it a third time.
(3) So here it is, my time zone is set.
(4) Then I proceeded to the Ad Scheduling page, this is what the basic ad scheduling page looks like at first sight.
(5) Then I clicked on edit next to a day and got this screen.
(6) Scheduling things up and then moved on to test out the "advanced mode" which looks like;
Click 'Edit' to set custom prices for ads on a given day and time. Example: If your default bid is $1.00 CPC, and your custom "% of bid" entry for Tuesdays is 120%, your CPC bid for Tuesdays only would be $1.20. When satisfied, click 'Save Changes' to activate Ad Scheduling.
That is it really. The Google AdWords help center has more details at what is ad scheduling?
