- Select the account you just created, then click the "Load KW" button from the toolbar. This will download the keywords from your account.
- After downloading the keywords from your account, click on "Keyword Property" to set the properties for each keyword in your account. You may set up multiple keywords at the same time by holding down the "Shift" key while selecting.
- Check your position by clicking the "Keyword Look Up" button from the "Manual Bid" drop-down menu.
- Adjust each keyword's properties after the "Keyword Look Up" process is complete.
- Click on "Update Bids" to update the bids.
Will my firewall or anti-virus software affect the running of AdScientist?
Yes, your firewall or anti-virus software may affect the running of AdScientist if the program is
not set up properly.
Because AdScientist needs to connect to the internet in the background during the Scheduler Autobidding process, some types of firewall or anti-virus software may consider this activity as spyware or a virus and block AdScientist from accessing the internet.
If this happens, please re-configure your firewall or anti-virus software to give permission for AdScientist to access the internet, and then try to run AdScientist again. To set up this permission, add AdScientist to the Trusted Sites list of your firewall and/or anti-virus software.
