Announcing the April 6 DS3 release!

Monday, April 9, 2012 |

The latest DoubleClick Search V3 (DS3) release includes the following new features:
  1. Bulk edit of ads or keywords in the UI: As we mentioned in a previous blog post, you can now update the settings of multiple ads or keywords at once in the DS3 UI. You no longer need to use upload files for these types of edits.
  2. Inbound sync for Sitelinks: When you run a sync in DS3 on an AdWords engine account, DS3 will now copy Sitelink extensions from the engine account and recreate them with new clickserver URLs. Reporting for the new Sitelinks extensions will start over at zero. Stats from your previous Sitelinks extensions will still be available if you select the Show deleted check box in the Sitelinks table.

We also made the following updates to existing features:
  1. Better handling of low-traffic keywords in position bid strategies: We improved the way we handle low-volume keywords in position bid strategies, making their bids more stable. Stay tuned for a full blog post on the recent improvements to position bid strategies.
  2. Inline editing of Sitelinks extension names: When you’re on a page with a list of Sitelinks extensions, you can now click the Siteilnks extension name and edit it directly in the table.
  3. Updated reporting table: To continue our preparation for bigger UI improvements in future releases, we made some updates to the UI reporting table. While the updated table has not yet changed much in appearance, improvements in performance have allowed us to increase the default number of reporting table rows from 50 to 100. You can also now use the arrow keys in the lower righthand corner to navigate around the table.
