New MCC Dashboard

Noticed a message in one of my MCC accounts earlier today - "Try the New MCC Dashboard".

According to the message MCC users will be able to:

"Find performance and budget stats for managed accounts more easily with tabbed pages for accessing details at a higher level."

The tabs are on the right side of the screen and look like this:



Here's a link to the help/FAQ page that talks about the budget and tabs pages:

In my opinion a minor change that will make getting a quick feel of the status of the accounts in your MCC much easier.

AdWords Automatic Matching - Check Your Accounts

Like many others in the US I'm putting the finishing touches on the week and getting ready for a 3 day weekend. It appears AdWords is getting ready for a 3 day weekend too...by opting some of my accounts in to the Automatic Matching beta today.

I have not worked with Automatic Matching so I'll hold off on debating it's pros and cons...but come on AdWords team, don't make major changes to accounts the right before holiday weekends. That's just aggravating.

Fellow advertisers, if you don't want any surprises on Tuesday I would suggest taking a quick look in your AdWords accounts for the Automatic Matching "you've been opted in" message.
