Work faster in Google Adwords with Local Storage

Speed up the loading of your Google Adwords data with new local storage feature. Spend less time waiting for data to load in your account. This new feature takes advantage of the Google Gears plugin to store a copy of your account data on your computer. So each time you access AdWords, your data loads directly from your computer, making your experience much faster Google Adwords.

How is local storage enabled?

1.    Click the local storage icon (a gray circle with a line through it) next to your email address in the upper-right corner of your AdWords account. When u click on it following warning appears 

2. Read and understand the security warning; make sure you’re not using a public or shared computer.

3. Click Continue.

Note: If you haven’t yet installed Google Gears, your browser will open a new tab and direct you through a short installation process. Once you’re done installing Google Gears, you’ll be prompted to restart your browser. Sign in to AdWords and click the local storage icon again.

4. Gears will alert you that https://adwords.google.com will be making use of local storage. Click the checkbox next to “I trust this site. Allow it to use Gears.” and click Allow.

Local storage is now enabled!

How does this work?

When local storage is enabled, AdWords will store your account data on your computer the first time it loads. After that, when you change views (selecting a different campaign or ad group, for example, or sorting by a different column), your data will load directly from your computer; you no longer have to wait for the data to download from our servers.

AdWords will make sure your data is always fresh, and retrieve the latest statistics while you work.
 

Your data is stored on your computer via Google Gears, in the same way that your browser stores cookies. Others who use your computer with different usernames won’t be able to access your data.
 

To disable local storage in future, simply click the green check mark icon next your email address in the upper right-hand corner of your browser. Next to Local account data is enabled, click the Disable link. Local storage will be disabled and all your local data will be deleted.

What is Google AdWords?

Google AdWords is a easy, quick and simple way to advertise on Google and its ad partners, regardless of your budget. AdWords ads are displayed along with search results on Google, as well as on search and content sites in the growing Google Network, which includes websites like AOL, EarthLink, HowStuffWorks, & Blogger. With searches on Google and page views on the Google Network each day, your Google AdWords ads reach a vast audience. 

When you create an AdWords ad to run on Google and its search partners, you can choose keywords for which your ad will appear and specify the maximum amount you're willing to pay for each click. You pay only when someone clicks on your ad which is also called pay per click advertising. Advertisers specify the words that should trigger their ads and the maximum amount they are willing to pay per click. When a user searches Google's search engine on www.google.com or the relevant local/national google server (e.g. www.google.co.uk for The United Kingdom), ads (also known as creatives by Google) for relevant words are shown as "sponsored links" on the right side of the screen, and sometimes above the main search results.

For eg. let us say that you are selling "Mobile Phones". And your target market is USA. Hence anybody in USA, searching for "Mobile Phone" or "Mobile Phones" keywords can be your ideal client. Just assume if you get 1,000 such visitors, who are searching for "Mobile Phones", and all of them are from USA, you can very well imagine how much business your site can generate for you by all these visitors everyday coming to your site. See the Screen Shot below to see where your adds are shown:-

There's no minimum monthly charge with AdWords -- just a nominal activation fee. You can choose from a variety of ad formats, including text, image, and video ads, and easily track your ad performance using the reports in your online account Control Center.
