Re: db migration, are accents now ignored for spanish terms

2010-11-07 Thread manuel
You say: statistics for accents and non-accented keywords are
combined into a single search volume number.

This is absolutely wrong. Google can't simple combine two absolute
different words, with a complete different meaning into one, just
because they look alike.

I see Google is now doing the same mistake on the search results!!!

I don't know what language experts Google has consulted, but in
French, Spanish and Portuguese there are a lot of words that when
accented gain a complete different meaning!

 Hi All,

 To be clear, the changes in how accents are handled is part of a
 larger change in the Keyword Tool backend, and the behavior is
 consistent across the API and the web interface.  My current
 understanding is that the statistics for accents and non-accented
 keywords are combined into a single search volume number.

 There are changes in search volume data across the board, as explained
 in this blog post:

 http://adwords.blogspot.com/2010/09/updated-keyword-tool-out-of-beta

 In addition to these improvements, we’ve also changed how we
 calculate Global Monthly Searches and Local Monthly Searches.
 Statistics in these columns are now based on Google.com search traffic
 only. Previously, they also included traffic from search partners.
 We've updated these statistics based on advertiser feedback, and hope
 you find them more helpful for keyword selection.

 Your feedback regarding these changes is appreciated and I will pass
 it on to the engineering and product teams.

 Best,
 - Eric

  For your information, this intended behavior is quite an
  accomplishment in the sense that queries for some of the top latin
  accented keywords return absolutely no relevant adwords data.

  Regardless of the locations and languages settings, a query for
  crédit (french) returns either nothing or irrelevant data for
  english credit keywords.

Hi,

I believe this was intentional, but I'll circle back with the
engineering team and confirm.

 Besides the rather large numerical discrepancy between different
 backends one thing I noticed was that the accents for the Spanish
 terms are ignored, is this a bug or is  this intentional ?

Thanks Eric. I thought as much. I'll check my queue again.

 Hi Daragh,

 I'm actually working on a blog post about this now, but the short
 version is that you can only REMOVE a job if it is in the PENDING
 state and it hasn't yet received all the parts.  If all the parts have
 been received, and it enters the job queue, it cannot be deleted.
 Instead you must wait for it to complete.

Re: v201008 reporting columns

2010-11-07 Thread dkasak
We have found some more discrepancies between the columns returned by
getReportFields and those actually available.

requestIdf6d766aff713a9475564cd7b921680fb/requestId

... did NOT return HourOfDay, however we find that we can successfully
request an ADGROUP_PERFORMANCE_REPORT with this column included.

As before, this makes us nervous for a couple of reasons. Firstly, we
would prefer not to build reports based on undocumented columns, out of
fear that they might be more likely to be removed than documented ones.
Secondly, it raises questions about what other columns we could use
that we haven't tripped over accidentally. Finally, with our own
development cutoff date quickly approaching, we are wondering if v13
reporting might not be a more stable option, and if you intend on
keeping it around for longer than previously hinted at?

Re: JobError.TOO_LATE_TO_CANCEL_JOB

2010-11-07 Thread daragh99
Hi Eric,

All my jobs have received all their parts and have been processing
since Friday morning (nearly four days ago). Each job is merely
submitting 100 ads. Is it normal for this to take so long, even in the
sandbox?
