I am struggling with the same issue here. I think using the REMOVE operator might work even I haven't tried it yet. It might let you create a new ad but I think you'll probably loose all the stats and related data. In AdWords Interface, if you click on editing an ad, a popup notification says:
You can edit this ad. Changing the ad will delete the existing ad and create a new one. The new ad will begin with statistics at zero, and statistics for the old ad will be shown in the "Deleted ads" row. Cheers! On Dec 16, 2:04 pm, ComputerPsi <[email protected]> wrote: > Bounce.
