Google ACE Helps Measure Campaign Changes
By Courtney Mills
Google have launched a new tool that aims to help advertisers test and precisely measure the impact of changes to their AdWords campaign.

Called ACE (AdWords Campaign Experiments), it's a free tool that measures the impact to changes to your keywords, bids, ad groups and placements.

The tool has just been rolled out to all U.S. advertisers after a successful 2 month beta trial.
