Re: When to segment BMJS operations across JOBS, PARTS, and OPERATION STREAMS?

2010-07-09 Thread ojak
Hi Eric,

Based on your response, one of the limiting criterion I listed above
is incorrect: PARTS may contain up to 10,000 total OPERATIONS across
all its OPERATION STREAMS?

So, does that mean that PARTS may actually contain up to 25 OPERATION
STREAMS with up to 10,000 OPERATIONS per OPERATION STREAM, for a
maximum of 25*10, = 250,000 OPERATIONS per PART?

Thanks in advance for the clarification.

 Hi,

 In general you should use the following guidelines when creating your
 BulkMutateJobs:

 - 1 job per account being operated against.  Jobs can not operate
 against multiple accounts.
 - 1 operation stream for every campaign being operated against, scoped
 to that campaign ID.  If the number of operations for a campaign is
 greater than 10,000 than split it into multiple operation streams.
 - 1 part per 10,000 operations.  If you have 10,000 operations or less
 than there is no need for multiple parts.  If you have more
 operations, split the operations (and streams) into multiple parts.

 Operation streams exist to allow you to take advantage of concurrent
 processing on different campaigns, and parts exist to allow you to
 upload more than 10,000 operations into a single job.

 Best,
 - Eric Koleda, AdWords API Team

  What criteria should be used when deciding how to segment
  BulkMutateJob operations across multiple JOBS, PARTS, and OPERATION
  STREAMS?

  After reading the BMJS overview (http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/
  v2009/docs/bulkjobs.html), the limits appear to behave as follows:
    * CLIENTS may contain up to 10 JOBS
    * JOBS may contain up to 100 PARTS
    * JOBS may contain up to 500,000 OPERATIONS across all of its PARTS
    * PARTS may contain up to 25 OPERATION STREAMS
    * PARTS may contain up to 10,000 total OPERATIONS across all its
  OPERATION STREAMS
    * OPERATION STREAMS may contain up to 10,000 OPERATIONS

  So, if the above limitations are correct, are there any best practices
  for when to separate OPERATIONS across JOBS, PARTS, and OPERATION
  STREAMS?  For example, you could segment a job with 500,000 operations
  in many ways, such as in the following three example:
    * EXAMPLE 1 (500,000 total OPERATIONS):
      - 1 JOB
      - 100 PARTS per JOB
      - 25 OPERATION STREAMS per PART
      - 200 OPERATIONS per OPERATION STREAM

    * EXAMPLE 2 (500,000 total OPERATIONS):
      - 1 JOB
      - 50 PARTS per JOB
      - 1 OPERATION STREAM per PART
      - 10,000 OPERATIONS per OPERATION STREAM

    * EXAMPLE 3 (500,000 total OPERATIONS):
      - 10 JOBS
      - 5 PARTS per JOB
      - 2 OPERATION STREAM per PART
      - 5,000 OPERATIONS per OPERATION STREAM

  Is there any reason why either EXAMPLE 1, EXAMPLE 2, or EXAMPLE 3
  might be more appropriate for deploying the same number of
  operations?  And again, more specifically, what criteria should be
  used when judging where to segment the operations?

  Thanks!

Re: Error in Ad Performance Report

2010-07-09 Thread Reed
I was seeing this all day yesterday, and was about to post about it
when you did your posting.  But today it seems to be working - if I
leave out v20:fieldsId/v20:fields from the selector, I get back
a valid xml document that includes the adID value.  Yesterday I was
getting the exact behavior you posted, and noticed that when it sent
me back two adIDs when I included Id in the selector, they were not
the same value on any of the rows.

It still seems to be sporadic, sometimes it happens, sometimes it
doesn't.  I tried it again and got
!!!Unexpected exception|||1641975
This seems to only happen when I include v20:fieldsHeadline/
v20:fields in the selector.  I can include the Description1/2 and
have no problems, but whenever the headline is in there, I get the
error.  If it helps, the Id that is returned from the report
definition call is 1643535, and the SOAP request is

No longer able to create and manage campaigns?

2010-07-09 Thread Morry
Hi,

I've been working with my developers on creating some tools to help
with the creation and management of campaigns, adgroups etc, but today
they tell me that all those features are no longer part of the Adwords
API.

I'm not a programmer, so I'm a bit confused. I don't really understand
why all of a sudden Google would pull most of the API features. Can
anyone here let me know what's going on?

Is this permanent? Or are they going to be restored soon?

Thanks in advance :)

Google AdWords: Keyword Tool - Logged In or Logged Out?

2010-07-09 Thread Joe Z
I have noticed the Google AdWords: Keyword Tool returns dramatically
different results depending on whether I'm logged in or logged out of
my AdWords account.

The logged in results are much lower then results when I'm logged out.
I have seen others make the same observation, but I have yet to find
an explanation.

For example:

Keyword - canon camera bag - Exact result:
Logged In - Global 1,300  Local 590
Logged Out - Global  14,800 Local 8,100

I am new to AdWords and this confusion makes me hesitant to start a
campaign until I understand what I'm seeing as far as search volumes.

Which set of results is more accurate?
Why such large discrepancy depending on log in status?

Thank You,
Joe

Re: Multiple Placement added in single Job

2010-07-09 Thread AdWords API Advisor
Hi Ashok,

You can add multiple placements in a request, as the mutate method
takes an array of operations.  You must construct an ADD operation for
each placement you want to add, but you can send them all in one
request.

Re: When to segment BMJS operations across JOBS, PARTS, and OPERATION STREAMS?

2010-07-09 Thread ojak
 Operation streams exist to allow you to take advantage of concurrent
 processing on different campaigns, and parts exist to allow you to
 upload more than 10,000 operations into a single job.

Does this mean that since PARTS contain OPERATION STREAMS, do PARTS
also process concurrently?

For example, if a job has 10 PARTS, do all 10 PARTS process
concurrently?  Or, do only the OPERATION STREAMS within each PART
process concurrently?

Re: how to estimate maxCpc on new campaigns

Hi,

The v13 TrafficEstimatorService uses similar technology to the legacy
Traffic Estimator Tool:

  https://adwords.google.com/select/TrafficEstimatorSandbox?forceLegacy=true

This tool requires that a maximum CPC is always entered, as does the
API.  We are working to release a new version of the
TrafficEstimatorService that better mirrors the functionality of the
new Traffic Estimator Tool, but at this time I don't have any
estimates on when that will be released.

 lowerClicksPerDay and upperClicksPerDay

 lowerAvgPostion and upperAvgPosition

 In other words, how do we know what amount to input into the maxCpc to

 The public Adwords Keyword tool seems to default to an Ad Position
 between 1-3 and provides estimated clicks, CPC and estimated daily

Re: When to segment BMJS operations across JOBS, PARTS, and OPERATION STREAMS?

2010-07-09 Thread AdWords API Advisor
Hi,

The limitation you listed is correct, a part can only contain 10,000
operations.  An operation stream can only contain 10,000 operations
because that's the limit on a part.  If an operation stream has 10,000
operations in it the that part can only contain that single operation
stream.

As for concurrency, here is the documentation from the
BulkMutateJobService:

Once a job is launched in the bulk mutate workflow, the operation
streams in the job are sorted by scoping entity, which is either the
customer or the parent campaign. The operations of a single scoping
entity are always processed in their request order. Operations of
different scoping entities may be processed concurrently or in a
different order than in the request.

So concurrency is based on scoping entity only, regardless of how many
parts or operation streams there are.

Best,
- Eric

Re: Difference in search volume between API and Keyword Tool?

2010-07-09 Thread k
Bump. I am having the same problem as Achim above. It is quite
maddening.

Has anyone figured out why there is such a huge discrepancy?

Can anyone explain how to get the stats for A SINGLE PARTICULAR
keyword using the GUI tool when signed in?

If there is no fix for this, then I would at least like to understand
what is causing the huge difference.

Thanks, K

 Dear Eric,
 I seem to have sort of the same problem, but Brians solution didn't
 help me since now.
 We're using the API-Requests targeted with
 LanguageTargetSearchParameter and CountryTargetSearchParameter but
 have different results using the API and the Webinterface.

 For the Keyword wandpaneele in the EXACT-Mode...
 i) Adwords API gives me the value of 2.400 for global_monthly_requests
 ii) Adwords Keyword Tool LOGGED IN WITH THE SAME USERNAME AS MY API-
 APPLICATION uses doesn't give me any stats about exactly this keyword
 (strange, isn't it?)
 iii) Adwords Keyword Tool External (NOT LOGGED IN, captcha-mode) gives
 me 8.100 for global_monthly_requests (some 340% divergence)
 iv) Adwords Keyword Tool LOGGED IN WITH ANOTHER USERNAME gives me
 8.100 for global_monthly_requests

 We just wonder if the data available throughout the API is any
 reliable, or - as we pay for the API data - if only the API-Data is
 close to the truth.
 If you need my accounts'-data to help out pls refer to me via email.

 Thanks in advance
 Achim

  Hi Brian,

  So it looks like the problem is due to the existence of two keyword
  tools that use slightly different technology.

  1) Search-based Keyword Tool:http://www.google.com/sktool/

  2) AdWords Keyword 
  Tool:https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

  The TargetingIdeaService and AdWords Keyword Tool share the same
  underlying technology, and the search volume estimates should be the
  same in both.  The Search-based Keyword Tool uses slightly different
  technology and is expected to deliver different search volume
  estimates.  Please using the AdWords Keyword Tool when doing
  comparisons with the TargetingIdeaService.

 Eric -

 Thank you for your quick response.  We actually went back and modified
 the 'GetRelatedKeywords.php' file from the v2009 client library
 examples with those additional parameters.  It corrected the average
 monthlysearchvolumes (to show only US volumes) but the global
 volumes stayed the same.  Both of these numbers (the average and the
 global) are still too high.

 Using the same example: twin air bed
      Global EXACT match: 2900 (API) vs 320 (KW Tool)
      Local EXACT match: 2400 (API) vs 260 (KW Tool)

 It actually makes sense that this only changed the local numbers since
 we only added language and country parameters - the global numbers
 should not change regardless of the language and country, correct?
 Can anyone else verify my numbers and the variance in returns we are
 seeing between the API and the KW tool?

 Thanks -
 Brian

  Hi Brian,

  Thedifferenceis likely due to adifferencein targeting.  By default
  theSearch-based Keyword Tool targets the results to your language 
  and
  country (English and United States for example).  The API on the 
  other
  hand doesn't target the results by default, and will return the
  statistics for all languages and countries.  To emulate the results 
  of
  the keyword tool you need to include a LanguageTargetSearchParameter
  and CountryTargetSearchParameter.

  P.S. The GlobalMonthlySearchesSearchParameter and the
  AverageTargetedMonthlySearchesSearchParameter are only required if 
  you
  want to limit the results to only ideas that have certain amounts of
  searches.  If you just want to return those values you need only to
  include the GLOBAL_MONTHLY_SEARCHES and
  AVERAGE_TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES AttributeTypes respectively.

Re: Google AdWords: Keyword Tool - Logged In or Logged Out?

2010-07-09 Thread k
This question is very relevant to my interests, as I have noticed the
same thing.

Also curious, when logged in, I cannot get the stats for the
particular keyword I entered, only the suggested keywords. This has
caused me to actually prefer not logging in.

Thanks, K

 I have noticed the Google AdWords: Keyword Tool returns dramatically
 different results depending on whether I'm logged in or logged out of
 my AdWords account.

 The logged in results are much lower then results when I'm logged out.
 I have seen others make the same observation, but I have yet to find
 an explanation.

 For example:

 Keyword - canon camera bag - Exact result:
 Logged In - Global 1,300  Local 590
 Logged Out - Global  14,800 Local 8,100

 I am new to AdWords and this confusion makes me hesitant to start a
 campaign until I understand what I'm seeing as far as search volumes.

 Which set of results is more accurate?
 Why such large discrepancy depending on log in status?

 Thank You,
 Joe
