I'm trying to use Google Keyword Insertion to create an ad. Here's the problem. Say I want my ad to be like this:

Buy Calendars
Buy a {KeyWord:beautiful, fantastic} calendar!
And get other free stuff too!

If they Keyword doesn't work, they would see "Buy a beautiful, fantastic calendar" = 35 characters exactly.
If it did, they would see Buy {Whatever their Keyword is} calendar.

But Google, in it's infinite wisdom, is counting the whole {KeyWord:blahblahblah} code as extra characters. So I can only type it "Buy a {KeyWord:beautiful, fantastic" before it yells at me.

Anyone else have this problem?
 


You're at 36 characters, actually. You have an exclamation mark at the end of the line.

Remove that and you should be good.
 
That was just an example. The point was that it's cutting me off at "Buy a {KeyWord:beautiful, fantastic"
 
It worked for me when I tried earlier. Try switching browsers or using AdWords Editor. Also, make sure you don't have a space between "{Keyword:" and the default words - Having a space there will cause an issue.
