Green lamps and empty Excel files?
Posted by ShowMaster in FAQ & Help, Januar 5th, 2009Hello everybody – and a happy new year!
From time to time I’m going to post some user questions (and my answers) to help you avoiding some common stumbling blocks…
Question: “Currently I cannot modify my keywords or ads with your Excel file, because the link generator Excel file that I download from my
control panel in the zanox site is EMPTY. This campaign has a green status on your zanox landpage site.
I am attaching a copy. This file used to be filled with all my campaign data a few days ago. Do you know how to solve this problem ?”
Answer: Everything is fine! Tool is set up correctly. If the campaign status is “green” (you see a green lamp), then there have to be no keywords or adtexts within your Excel file!
Why? Only keywords and texts with MISSING landingpage tracking links are shown in the Excel file.
Remember: LPO is NOT a campaign management tool! We only add tracking links to your campaigns. Do changes (new keywords or texts etc.) where you are used to do it: Using the AdWords Editor or the AdWords Interface directly. Once you have uploaded all changes, THEN use the “refresh campaign” button in the Look@Landingpages Interface and the Excel file will contain all changed elements with missing tracking links…
