AdWords API Re: Exact Match - All Languages - All Countries - AvgSearchVolume
Hello Joe, As a matter of policy, I'm afraid that I can't comment on whether specific functionality will or will not be added to a future release of the AdWords API.

AdWords API Re: Axis2 1.4.1 wsdl2java
Hello Jyothi, I do believe that the maintainer of the Java client library will be updating to Axis 1.4 in a future release. In the meantime, I believe that you can make use of the (oddly named) adwords-api-x.x.x-loner.jar library that ships with the client library, which isn't packaged with dependencies on specific external libraries, and then use that in conjunction with Axis 1.4 (and a number of other third-party .jars which you'd have to provide). If you have issues doing this we can loop in the maintainer of the Java client library to clear things up.

AdWords API Re: Exact Match - All Languages - All Countries - AvgSearchVolume
Hello Joe, The scenario you describe is exactly what I was describing in my blog post, and to quote from the last paragraph: "The search volumes in the results returned from the API should roughly correspond to what you'd see with the Broad setting for match type in the web tool, but retrieving search volumes for Phrase or Exact match types is not possible." So to reiterate, you cannot retrieve search volumes that correspond to the Exact match type via the AdWords API.

AdWords API Re: Exact Match - All Languages - All Countries - AvgSearchVolume
Hi Jeff, I am very much after what the orginal poster asked for and I got quite excited when I read your post: 'Keyword Match Type and the KeywordToolService' http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com/2009/01/keyword-match-type-and.html It appeared to solve my problem, but so far it hasn't. I would like the returned search volumes from the API to be for exact match type and not broad. I have used the following code for a UK query: # Create seed keyword structure. $seed_keyword = 'false' . 'google api' . 'Exact'; $use_synonyms = 'true'; # Get keyword variations. $request_xml = '' . '' . $seed_keyword . '' . $use_synonyms . 'en' . 'GB' . ''; You can see I have specified the type to be exact and query the UK. The search volume returned for 'google api' is 33100 - checking the web keyword tool reveals this is the number for the broad match type, the exact is actually 1,600. Could you explain why this is the case and if I am doing anything wrong?

AdWords API Re: Got this error "Separate content keyword bids is only applicable in campaigns with keyword cpc bids."
Thanks a lot Jeff, I was able to reproduce the problem with the campaign that didn't had the problem, I created a new adgroup with only site placement, and this reproduced the error. I can remove those ad groups from the campaigns we own, but for other customers, I think we can't touch those ad groups, will the engineering team fix this issue or there is other workaround?

AdWords API Re: Got this error "Separate content keyword bids is only applicable in campaigns with keyword cpc bids."
Hello, So this appears to be a new variation on an old issue. The common thread here seems to be that there is an ad group in the same campaign that contains only placement criteria (no keywords) and that ad group only has its siteMaxCpc bid set (no keywordMaxCpc). The presence of this ad group seems to prevent other ad groups in the same campaign from having their keywordContentMaxCpc bids set. This is not the correct behavior, obviously, and I've brought the issue to the attention of the engineering team. Apologies that it took so much time to diagnose, but it is rather unexpected.

Reminder: You must update your AdWords API code to v13
Just a friendly reminder to all AdWords API developers: if you have not yet updated your code to use v13 of the AdWords API, please do so immediately. A list of changes between v12 and v13 can be found at http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/developer/releasenotes.html and links to updated versions of the official AdWords API client libraries can be found at http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/clients.html As we previously announced in this group, we plan on leaving the v12 SOAP services running through Monday, March 9. That leaves only a few days to upgrade, so please don't delay!
