Hi alex, For the first question, As in this thread<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/adwords-api/E3RZ0bFiTro/Lqwd8n7uoHEJ>, You can reset the keyword level bid (use the bid at adgroup level) by like following code.
BiddingStrategyConfiguration biddingStrategyConfiguration = new BiddingStrategyConfiguration(); CpcBid bid = newCpcBid(); bid.setBid(new Money(null, null)); // DO setBid biddingStrategyConfiguration.setBids(new Bids[]{bid}); For the second question, I don't think setting contentBidCriterionTypeGroup will be mandatory. As in the blog post, setting contentBidCriterionTypeGroup explicitly will be needed for advertisers wanting to override the ad group default bid with criteria-level bids.
