If you are a search engine marketer that has used Microsoft’s AdCenter, you probably have found it a bit annoying that when creating text ads, it doesn’t tell you how many characters you have left.

This means that the genius PPC ad-copy that you just wrote will only be rejected when you go to save because it is too long.

This Greasemonkey script detects when the new text ad dialog is visible, and will update the remaining characters that you have left to use as you type.  Something that Microsoft should have done…. pay me MS, you lazy bastards.

This isn’t the only thing I find annoying about Microsoft AdCenter, but all the Greasemonkey scripts in the world won’t fix it. Click through for the script.
