Hi Kurt

Being the 'paranoid sceptic', that I am, what do you consider the 'likelyhood' that this is yet another 'G' attempt to 'invade' the privacy of their 'user's' and, in this case, customers', desktops?

As with the 'G' toolbar, this will not even get 'downloaded' to any computer that I use 'in combat'.

'Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean that they ain't out to get ya' "A quote from some recent novel or movie"

My memory gets worse, and I ain't even that 'old' yet! LOL

I'm sure that there will be those that use AdWords, who will appreciate the integration that this 'Tool' will enable. Not for me, however.

As always, you provide great info. to the users here, and for no charge.

Thanks Kurt

Kind regards

Ian

Hey Ian,

You bring up a very good point and it's probably time for me to repeat something I've said before:

Google is no longer in the search business. Instead, they are in the data collection business.

Having said this, the AdWords tool probably just collects info that you'd enter into AdWords anyway....And having said THIS, I'm NOT an AdWords user and have never used the program myself...So, AdWord'ers, use it at your own risk...
