&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img height="73" width="73" src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/images/blog/g-mini.gif" style="float:left;margin:10px;" alt="" /&gt;Managing performance-based advertising accounts can be a cumbersome and inefficient process &amp;ndash; well, it can be if you&amp;rsquo;re not focused clearly on automating processes and using all of the data at your disposal. 
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Google recently announced the introduction of &lt;a href="http://adwords.blogspot.com/2012/06/customize-account-management-with.html" target="_blank"&gt;AdWords scripts&lt;/a&gt; (a limited release) which enable PPC marketers to make changes to their Adwords account by writing small/simple Javascript programs.  The scripts function enables advertisers to use external inventory data to change bids or pause/unpause keywords, output stats to a spreadsheet (useful when creating reports and visualizations &amp;ndash; we&amp;rsquo;re looking at you third-party developer) and even use statistical trends to change keyword or ad group bids. 
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The scripts will run on the Google Apps Script infrastructure, and developers will be able to integrate with &lt;a href="https://developers.google.com/apps-script/service_spreadsheet"&gt;Google Spreadsheets&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and &lt;a href="https://developers.google.com/apps-script/service_urlfetch"&gt;URL Fetcher&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to integrate external data, and even email results of a script execution within the script itself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
