In 2005, this would have been so time-consuming that Bob could easily have convinced himself that the effort just wasn't worth it (especially if he had a mature account with dozens of different campaigns, hundreds of ad groups, and tens of thousands of keywords). The AdWords Editor benefit of copy & paste allows you to quickly duplicate anything you want, to then push live in record time. To clone the UK campaign using the online AdWords interface, Bob would have to create a new campaign, input the new settings, add the ad groups one at a time (including all keywords and ads and perhaps even landing page URLs), and then manually change every instance of the word “colour” to “color” so the Yanks could find and relate to his business. Aside from the fact that the two markets would probably have very different economics and should be separated on that basis alone, there's a more immediate and practical issue: The British can't spell “color.” (Kidding, kidding!) The most helping part of finding duplicates is that AdWords Editor will find duplicates even if they’re in a different match type. Say that our client Bob Davies of WaterColour Secrets began with a UK-targeted campaign and wanted to expand into the U.S. In the old days, copying a campaign could take dozens of hours.
