Ardyk: You can use the AdWords editor to do bulk "cut and paste" imports of campaigns, ad groups, keywords (including negative keywords), and ad texts. There are some features it does not support (position preference and time-of-day management, for example). It is much less cumbersome than manually entering information online, but it is far from a perfect solution.
I've been shopping for a better solution for much of this year, and thus far I've not found any tools that actually seem to provide any improved capability -- the main selling point of third-party tools seems to be the ability to view and manage campaigns across Google & Yahoo & MSN using a single tool -- but even then, I've not found a tool that helps to intelligently manage the "differences" between the three systems. It looks like I'll be moving forward with a development project for an in-house solution for one client, because there simply doesn't seem to be any third-party solution that can meet our most basic needs. I'd love to talk with anyone who thinks they have a tool that might work.
