We were launching a small release for Refined Ads two days ago. This release is not a major one, but one that brings along some really interesting options for finetuning your campaigns
Transaction Export
First, we are providing an export functionality for all transactions recorded via Refined Ads. Use this tsv-file to find out about tracking issues, compare with other company internal tracking systems and do special sales reportings.

Restrict rights of subusers
Second, we are providing more ways to work with subusers. From now on you can limit each subuser to certain Client Accounts in Refined Ads. These users can only see and work on Client Accounts you have chosen for them. For example provide a login for your customers to certain areas of your Refined Ads account to make reporting easier. You can even go further and give them read-only access. Or split up the whole Refined Ads account in portions for each account manager.
Find duplicate keywords in your account
Using the same keyword in different campaigns oder adroups can have serious impact on your traffic and profit. As the search engine will only publish one ad for this keyword, you no longer can control which campaign is currently delivered.
This is even worse if you have duplicates in different accounts because of a very large set of products or keywords. So you would actually bid against you as only one ad from your domain will show up.
By finding these duplicates you can decide which one to pause and which one to continue. Our new tool in Refined Ads makes finding them just one click away! Very easy, very handy, very very useful! Try out.

Choose between two Transaction Recording Modes
The last feature in this release is a very tricky one. It is about the time when to track a transaction. There are two ways to do so. One is to use the timestamp when the ad was clicked. The other one is to use the timestamp when the transaction actually happened. As many transactions don’t happen right after the click on the ad but after up to 30 days or sometimes even more, both ways can vary a lot. Using the timestamp of the transaction has the advantage that historic transaction data is not changed every day and the data is reliable for the future. Using the timestamp of the click on the ad allows better comparison between actual costs and income regarding for each day, but comes along with the disadvantage of changing historic transaction data.
Per default Refined Ads ist using the timestamp of the transaction to make sure historical data is constant. If you wish to choose the other option, feel free to. There is no good or bad, it is more what you personally prefer for your business. By the way, Google Conversion Tracking is using the timestamp of the click. So if you want to compare both tracking numbers, this might be the better option for you.
As always, we hope that you enjoy these new features. If you should have any questions about how to use them, have a look in our guide under http://guide.refinedads.com or give us a call.
