Hi, It looks like you are running into the policy check for excessive punctuation. See http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=12392 for details. << and >> gets interpreted as excessive punctuation in this case, and the server throws PolicyViolationError.
Editorial policy errors are exemptable, so you can upload these ads by adding an ExemptionRequest. To add an exemption request, - Check PolicyViolationError.isExemptable to see if the error is exemptable or not. - If yes, make an ExemptionRequest, and set its key to PolicyViolationError.key. - Set the exemptionRequest in AdGroupAdOperation.exemptionRequests and make your call again. See the following links for more details: http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/v2009/docs/reference/AdGroupAdService.AdGroupAdOperation.html#exemptionRequests http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/v2009/docs/reference/AdGroupAdService.ExemptionRequest.html#key http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/v2009/docs/reference/AdGroupAdService.PolicyViolationError.html#isExemptable http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/v2009/docs/reference/AdGroupAdService.PolicyViolationError.html#key Cheers, Anash P.
