Our Adwords spending will go up by 10 to 100 times if I can automate
the creation of our adwords advertisements. We will have 500 more
campaigns and 2000 more creatives running than we have now. Each
creative will have 50 to 100 keywords. Until the quota system
appeared, it seemed like we were all set to move forward. But now we
are repositioning that portion of our budget for radio advertising and
outsourced ad creation (India) because the API looks like it is
expensive to use.

Adwords can have our money by encouraging us to use the API. You don't
want our money? No problem, Clear Channel would love to have it.

Business is business.

Still ranting and reaching the mouth frothing stage, while finalizing
our advertising budget,
