The Google AdWords editor is a piece of desktop software that will make your life much easier if you manage AdWords accounts.

Since it lives on your desktop, you aren’t reliant on AdWords current load speed (or interface being down) to make changes to your account.

It is also useful to make changes while offline. Now, one can sit in a plane, make changes to a Google account, and then upload the changes upon landing and having access to an internet connection.

A new version of the editor was recently released. If you have the editor, I suggest you upgrade. If you don’t, here’s the info to download the free software:
