Yes, 25 campaigns is the usual limit, but the total number of keywords over all campaigns is also a factor. It’s usually 50,000 keywords. If you ask Google to raise your limits, they often comply, but not always.

I have 34 campaigns for my site (http://www.megazega.com.) I started getting an error while adding campaigns. It seemed to say that I have reached my limits in the number of campaigns. However, it failed to say what is the limit. I then downloaded adwords editor to add new campaigns and now I am getting the frustrating error 17. Upon some online search, I find that many people say that 25 campaigns is the limit. Really, what is the limit? If 25 is the limit, how come I was able to create 34 campaigns before I hit the error 17. I don’t have that many keywords or adgroups. I hope google provides better support for adwords.

I’ve just used “brute force” software for the first time and hit that damned Error 17 the first time out! Lift the limits, Google!!!

This is where good campaign management is key and you’ve clearly got this one well organised. I don’t know many people who are as organised as you nor who have such a large list of keywords that they are trying to manage, personally although lots of people slate Google Adwords; I still think it is one of the best tools of it’s type online.

Any programming language can produce this list, PHP can be used but I use Visual Basic for my solutions.

For iterating all those keyword permutations,
you threw some script together in php?
or what? what language? : )
doing it manually is out of the equation, I guess.
Just interested in knowing how the pro’s do it. : )
Btw, you have duplicate “Subscribe to comments via email”-checkboxes. (The other one says “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail”. If they are not doing different things, that is, but then I think it should be clarified, and the checkboxes put together)

I’m pretty sure if you have some sort of spending history with them and give them a reason to up the limit, they will do it for you.

When I (and everyone else) was marketing ringtones in 2006, I wanted to use TONS of keyword combinations — group names, artist names, song titles, phone models, etc combined with normal keywords like ringtones, tones, ring tones and also combined with modifiers like free, download, listen, etc.

When I contacted AdWords about this, and explained how I was structuring it, they were happy to increase my limit. I think it is at like 2 Million keywords right now. But that campaign is long gone, so I have plenty of room for others.

100,000 keywords, that’s really too much for me! :O:

Tim I’m surprised Google wants to cap the number of keywords. I suppose they’re trying to be helpful, but all those keywords are money to them too.
