Hence is it possible to automatically transfer the complete ad campaign to another Google Adwords Account. If i perform this manually i will loose all the settings and the optimizations done to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/create-google-adwords-campaign\/\">campaign<\/a>, because of which the costs would also go up, hence would Google do this transfer?<\/p>\n<p>When you create a new Adwords account, its not going to have any ad campaigns, following which you need to create one or else import ads from another account. The best solution for this is to use the Adwords Editor (http:\/\/www.google.com\/intl\/en\/adwordseditor\/), where in you need to select the Ad Campaign and then click on copy, open the other account on editor and just paste it (remember to change the urls if its different).<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>AdWords Editor is a free Google application for managing your ad campaigns. Use it to download your account, update your campaigns with powerful editing tools, then upload your changes to AdWords.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Work offline, then upload your changes any time.<\/li>\n<li>Make bulk changes (such as updating bids or adding keywords) in just a few steps.<\/li>\n<li>Copy or move items between ad groups and campaigns.<\/li>\n<li>Navigate through your account quickly and easily.<\/li>\n<li>Circulate proposed changes and get feedback from other users.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Once you download and install a copy of this software on your computer, where in you will be asked to select the &#8216;Language Targeting&#8217;, &#8216;Location Targeting&#8217; and &#8216;Enable Usage Tracking&#8217;. You will next have to Open your Adwords account by adding an account. Once you enter your Adwords logins, you will be asked to select all campaigns or selected campaigns to download. We would recommend you to download all your campaigns so that they can be handled easily.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Adwords-Editor-Setup.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Adwords-Editor-Setup-300x225.png?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"Adwords Editor Setup\" title=\"Adwords Editor Setup\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Adwords-Editor-Setup.png?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Adwords-Editor-Setup.png?resize=150%2C112&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Adwords-Editor-Setup.png?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next you will find all the campaigns, ad-groups, keywords, Placements, Image Ads, Text Ads, Local Business Ads etc to be downloaded to your computer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Adwords-Campaigns-Download.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Adwords-Campaigns-Download.png?resize=368%2C272\" alt=\"Adwords Campaigns Download\" title=\"Adwords Campaigns Download\" width=\"368\" height=\"272\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Adwords-Campaigns-Download.png?w=368&amp;ssl=1 368w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Adwords-Campaigns-Download.png?resize=300%2C221&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Adwords-Campaigns-Download.png?resize=150%2C110&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 368px) 100vw, 368px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For this job you need to Export all the stuff of a selected campaign and create a backup file which is saved in the form of a AEA file as shown below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Export-AEA-Adwords-Editor.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Export-AEA-Adwords-Editor.png?resize=574%2C264\" alt=\"Export AEA Adwords Editor\" title=\"Export AEA Adwords Editor\" width=\"574\" height=\"264\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Export-AEA-Adwords-Editor.png?w=574&amp;ssl=1 574w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Export-AEA-Adwords-Editor.png?resize=300%2C137&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/Export-AEA-Adwords-Editor.png?resize=150%2C68&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 574px) 100vw, 574px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now this would be available for download to your computer.
