Re: Character sets and CSV report file downloads

2011-01-18 Thread AdWords API Advisor
Hi Reed,

A quick followup - I tried running reports against a test account with
Chinese ads yesterday and noticed that CSV report format is actually
encoded in UTF-8. So if your program were UTF-8 aware, then the data
wouldn't be mangled when you read it.

Excel does not recognize the UTF-8 csv file format, it expects csv
files to be ascii encoded, and hence displays mangled characters when
you open the downloaded csv in excel. That's a different issue, and is
not due to report contents encoded incorrectly.

Cheers,
Anash P. Oommen,
AdWords API Advisor.

Issue in running report generated thru v201008 ReportDefinition API

2011-01-18 Thread Dharmveer Jain
Hi,

I have created a ReportDefinition in My Client Center for Ad Performance 
report thru API. Now when i go to the new My Client Center reporting 
interface, and then click on "Run now" link in front of my ReportDefinition 
created thru API, then it shows an error dialog with message "Sorry, only My 
Client Center reports are supported" and does not generate any report. 
However, when i click on "Create similar" link in front of the same report 
definition and save the same definition without making any changes (not even 
changing the name) and then click on "Run now" starts the download of 
report.

What is that which is causing failure in generation of report when 
reportdefinition is created thru API but when same definition is copied as 
it is in UI then it works fine?

Thanks,
Dharmveer

Dom, were you able to get the negative keyword lists via the APIs? I don't 
see a way to do this using ad group level negative keywords or campaign

Re: Account Performance Reports - maxCpc not always a valid field?

2011-01-18 Thread AdWords API Advisor
Hi Reed,

The MaxCpc field isn't valid for an account report:

  http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/appendix/reports.html#account

Some work is being done to improve the validation during report
definition creation, and the new errors may be a result of that.

This is a known issue, that Vertical criteria are included in the UI

Re: Keyword Status, Ad Group Status and Campaign Status fields in KW Performance Report

2011-01-18 Thread AdWords API Advisor
Hi Adam,

The statuses in reports will be the same as in the API, although the
wording may differ.  For example, it might be ACTIVE in the API but
"Enabled" in reports, etc.

It may be that the Ad Share and Search Share are null for all the

Re: What does Local Monthly Searches mean?

2011-01-18 Thread AdWords API Advisor
Hi Nikhil,

To address your questions:

1) Local Monthly Search Volume is is calculated on a monthly basis, as
the name indicates.

2) The local search volume is based off of the language and geo
targeting your specify, while the global search volume is across all
searches.  If you don't specify any geo or language targeting then the
two numbers will be the same.

3) You can get the competition using the COMPETITION attribute:

  
http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/reference/latest/TargetingIdeaService.AttributeType.html#COMPETITION

4) Locale codes are only used for string formatting, etc.  Use
CountryTargetSearchParameter or LanguageTargetSearchParameter to limit
the results.

Re: Replicating UI report with comprehensive Destination URL activity including remarketing

2011-01-18 Thread j.e.frank
One more reason that cross-client is necessary: API costs.  Running a report 
is one of the more expensive operations, and so it makes a big difference if 
you can run just one of them.  I don't suppose there is any news on when 
cross-client reporting might be available in the API?  We are struggling 
with some incompatibilities between what's available in the v13 reports and 
the AdWords UI (in particular, Keyword status), but can't upgrade until 
cross-client reporting is available.

How to determine that a keyword is inactive (v13 reports)

2011-01-18 Thread j.e.frank
At some point in the last couple years, Google phased out the notion of the 
"inactive" status for a keyword.  Now, every keyword is technically 
"active", although it may have too low a bid or too low a quality score to 
realistically trigger impressions.  We're trying to monitor our keywords to 
know how many of them are effectively active, so I am trying to figure out 
how to achieve this with the AdWords API.  One caveat is that we are stuck 
on v13 for reporting because we need to run cross-client reports.

In the AdWords UI on the Keywords tab, the Status column typically says 
"Enabled", "Below first page bid", "Low search volume" and "Low quality 
score".  In my understanding, all except Enabled indicate that the keyword 
is not triggering ads, and thus is effectively inactive.  In v13 reports, 
all the keywords (unless paused or deleted) come back with the status as 
Active.

Is there any way to determine that a keyword is effectively inactive with 
v13 reporting?  One idea is to compare the keyword's bid with the first page 
bid, as a proxy for the "below first page bid" status.  Is that a sensible 
idea?  Is there a cutoff quality score that could approximate the "low 
quality score" status?  And how could I approximate the status of "low 
search volume"?

I cannot delete them and instead get the error

Any suggestions or hints?

TOO_MANY_JOBS_IN_QUEUE

2011-01-18 Thread ADM
We are running a Bulk Mutate process in C# to do updates to campaign
URL exclusions, and AdGroup inclusions. We keep getting these
[JobError.TOO_MANY_JOBS_IN_QUEUE @ operation.operand] messages,
especially for larger submissions. This happens when we are doing even
just on submission.

At time we can rerun this submission and it then runs with no errors,
while other times it just keeps failing with this same error message.

We are doing they submissions synchronously, so it do not see what
this is even telling me.

What is the cause of this problem?

Is there a solution? What is the solution?

Your help is appreciated. Do to this continuing problem we are going
to have to stop using Bulk Mutate for this task, which is a
significant setback.
