The answer to the above question is: yes! There is no end to the list of possibilities that you can use AdWords scripts for. You can write the scripts or you can use the ones freely available on the internet. You can use scripts for a one-time usage or for repeated usage. You can manually run them when you need them or you can schedule them for running at pre-determined time and frequency. You can manage almost any aspect of your campaign with the help of AdWords scripts.
You would be surprised how often this happens. Your web site might have changed or been updated and you could easily have a old advert or site link extension going to a dead page.
You may have adverts running through the night and your site might not be accessible due to server issues. The script can pick this up and pause adverts to stop money being wasted

You can download the script here.
Welcome to using scripts!

Hi again, I tried it out again and did not get any errors, but I do not get any e-mails however? I modified the script so it would tell me if there were any 301-redirects in the URLs in an account I knew had these kind of URLs.
