Since I often have to look at the source code of a web page, I thought it would be useful to have another editor / viewer than Microsoft’s powerful Notepad application.

For my part, I like to use Notepad++, an open-source editor way more powerful than Notepad.

Here’s how to change the default source code viewer for Internet Explorer in Windows XP (it might work for 2000 and Vista as well):

1. Download and run TweakUI from Microsoft’s PowerToys.
2. Expand the “Internet Explorer” section and click on “View Source”

   

3. Hit the “Change Program” button and select the desired viewer.
4. Click on OK and relaunch Internet Explorer.

That’s it! No more Notepad to view the source code of a web page.

Lately I’ve been building some PPC campaigns with Google AdWords. I’ve got almost 80,000 keywords ready to be imported into my AdWords account. Up to this day I haven’t got to launch a “serious” PPC campaign so I never realized how much work it could be.

As you already know, it’s important to build relevant keyword groups. Putting irrelevant keywords into the same adgroup will result into a low Quality Score, therefore increasing your PPC costs.

At first I only used Google AdWords web-based interface. I tried to group keywords with Microsoft Access and Excel which was a total pain. I finally decided to have a look into Google’s AdWords editor. To my surprise, it offers the possibility to group your keywords automatically! Hurray!
