AdWords - "System Restore"
Jul 10th, 2008 | By David Rothwell | Category: ARTICLES, Editor 
This Morning My PC Locked Me Out of Internet Access
Since I run an online AdWords Training and Consultancy business (with two Broadband Internet Connections, and a UPS) - this was not good. At All.
I lost 2 hours productivity just figuring out that the cause was the latest Microsoft Windows Update that I had just applied.
A System Restore was in order, and resolved the problem.
Then I saw Howie's Post in Google Alerts.
A Windows System Restore is a time machine - it takes your PC back to a point in time when it was last working correctly.
No such thing exists for Google AdWords - or does it?
Yes, it actually does.
But, like Windows System Restore , you have to "enable" it.
It's called the AdWords Editor.
And it's a free desktop application tool from Google.
With it, you can download a snapshot of your entire account for archiving, and, if something goes wrong, revert back to the last known working configuration.
And a *lot* more.
The AdWords Editor seems to be one of the Industry's Best-Kept Secrets.
