Program Requirements:
We need a program that we can run in the background of our computer that will track the ads associated with the keywords of our choice on google and overture and create a report based on the excel spreadsheet. The reports should be created in HTML format… but it would be nice if we can have the option to create these reports in EXCEL as well.
Below are the steps the program will need:
1. We input the keywords
2. the program uses the google and overture API to connect to their database.
3. The program will then enter the associated keyword into google and overture and parse the ad results in the format we require and create an individual report based on each keyword. The program should create these reports in HTML format.
4. The program will also need a scheduler where we can schedule it to run the campaigns. We should be able to schedule each individual keyword Group.
In essence, this program will keep a log of the ads associated with the keywords on the google and overture search engine. We want to be able to track all the ads associated with the keywords, and the program should note any changes to current ads, deletion of ads, new ads.
Please see attached EXCEL Sheet to understand what the report must include…
If you have any questions, please post them up.
Also, if you have done this kind of work before, please let me know.
It would be great if you are familiar with the google API /overture.
This software is for personal use...
