Thanks Jeff, I work on a company that does updates the Google campaigns on behalf of our customers, I got to ask my bosses first before posting a soap request id or other customer information.
>From what investigated, this code worked for one customer that had search and content networks selected in the campaign, and it fails for another customer which has search "off" and content "on", thus the ad group has the max cpc bid for search to "off" and only the content to "on". So, the "Separate content keyword bids is only applicable in campaigns with keyword cpc bids" message should mean that I can't set the keywordcontentmaxcpc if search if off, so it seems we can set it manually through the Adwords web page, but not through the API, is that right? I'll ask if I can post here that request id information, thanks for your help.
