I'm totally with you. I hate using AdWords. Check it out:
(1) I entered in over 100 keywords I was going to big on using their keyword tool:
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal but as soon as I signed up they lost ALL my keywords and I had to re-enter them. SO frustrating.
(2) Also, I just signed up for a new adwords account and I entered in a $50 budget but they won't run my ads because it says I have "exceeded my budget" - but I haven't spent a dime yet!
(3) I try to use their online chat customer service and the lady on the other end told me it's a "technical problem" and they need my email to get back to me later BUT then the lady signs off before I can give her my email! Now I can't find anyone else to help me and I'm suck.
Anyone know any alternatives?! I would love to dump Google.....
