Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification, it is confusing. The radio choice looks like it should be irrelevant if the checkbox is unchecked, since it is grayed out, and logically it does not apply since you are not doing any content targeting. What you are saying is that it has no effect on the actual ad serving, but it does affect the networks that are returned in the API.
To investigate further, I did a little experiment to see what networks were returned under the possible states of the checkbox and radio buttons. I was only looking at the Content portion of the settings (both Search boxes were always checked, and so the targeted networks always included GOOGLE_SEARCH and SEARCH_NETWORK). Here are the results. The top radio button is the one labeled "Relevant pages across the entire network" and the bottom radio button is the one labeled "Relevant pages only on the placements I manage". I'm just posting these results in case anyone else is confused by this issue like I was. State 1 --------- Checkbox: Checked Radio: Top Networks: CONTENT_NETWORK, CONTENT_CONTEXTUAL State 2 -- the one that got me confused initially --------- Checkbox: Unchecked Radio: Top (grayed out) Networks: CONTENT_CONTEXTUAL State 3 --------- Checkbox: Checked Radio: Bottom Networks: CONTENT_NETWORK State 4 --------- Checkbox: Unchecked Radio: Bottom (grayed out) Networks: none So in effect, the radio button is a toggle for the CONTENT_CONTEXTUAL network, with top being "on" and bottom being "off". However, its value doesn't matter if CONTENT_NETWORK is off.
