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

2011-01-21 Thread Zweitze
When predicting whether a keyword will trigger one of your ads, you
should also evaluate the group status and campaign status, when these
are not active and enabled, your keyword is not shown.
But, your task is almost impossible. For instance, a keyword will not
be shown when the campagin runs out of its daily budget. So you should
also look at the total costs of the day in the campaign. Unfortunately
it is not a strict limit, Google allows to overrun the daily budget by
10%, as long as the total cost of the month does not exceed the daily
budget times the days in the month. Further, your account may be
deactivated by Google (eg. because of payment problems), and you
cannot determine the account status through API.

BTW: You mention the first page bid. That has nothing to do with the
state of a keyword. It just tells you whether your ad will be shown on
the first page, or on a later page. If you want to ensure that your ad
is shown on the first page, you should either contact all competitors
of that word, or you should enter a bidding war.

Re: Abnormal latency after updating urls via api

2011-01-21 Thread Kal - Referencement-Manuel.com
Hello Eric,

I have done a very simple test, a single keyword modification :
Mutate requestId : cc84c7ea3d5e61b75acb2254be6a0aff
Response is OK, updated url is returned.

Then I read the same keyword :
Get requestId : 3be9b4a54582bb2217e9e8518e0e0bbe
Response contains the pre-updated url ...

PS : I have the xml if needed.

  Hi,

  I'm seeing this issue also.  Interestingly, if I run an API call to
  update a batch of keyword destination URLs, the response indicates
  that the call was successful.  Like others are stating, the updates
  are showing up in the web interface up to 30 minutes or more later.
  The interesting thing however, is that if I run a subsequent API call
  to retrieve the same keywords that I just updated via a MUTATE, the
  response contains the pre-updated destination URL values.  Doing
  nothing further, but then running that same GET call 30 minutes later
  results in the updated URLs being returned.

  So it appears that the issue is not simply that the web interface and
  API are out of sync.  The API is out of sync with itself as well.

ReportDefinitionService SET operation (Update existing report) InternalApiError.UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR

2011-01-21 Thread Rohit Dantas
Hi,

I'm working on the adwords api and have encountered the infamous
InternalApiError.UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR whilst trying to
update an existing ReportDefinition.

The report is of type
[ReportDefinitionReportType.AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT] with a date-range-
type set to [ReportDefinitionDateRangeType.CUSTOM_DATE]. The report
was created successfully and a GetAllReportDefinitions call returns it
as a valid result.

My update request sets/changes the following:
- ReportDefinition.id (set)
- ReportDefinition.dateRangeType (set/change)
- DateRange parameter in the ReportDefinition.selector (to a new date
range value). (change)

On the reportDefinitionService.mutate(operations) call I receive an
[InternalApiError.UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR] error. Has anyone
encountered a similar problem before, or know what might be going
wrong here?

Cheers,
Rohit

Notes:
- ApiCalls Version: v201008 (latest)
- ApiUsage: ReportDefinitionService.mutate(),
ReportDefinitionOperation.operator = Operator.SET.

is there a wayto get Sitelink statistics?

Currently, the only way we can get Sitelink statistics is if we log
into the account and click the Ad extensions tab.  However, a better
way would be to run a report on Sitelink performance using the Adwords
API.  Is there a particular report that will give us the information
we are seeing on the Ad extenstions tab?

what is BoomUserList in the keyword performance report?

2011-01-21 Thread bgraves
I've noticed that when my campaign doesn't have any keywords (ads
only) but there is still traffic being reported on kwSite called
boomuserlist::23287 with a kwSiteType of BoomUserList.  Also, even
though there aren't any keywords, it still gives me a keywordid.  Is
this fake keyword or something?  I can't find it in the account or
when I get the keywords using the API (probably since there aren't any
keywords in this particular campaign).

Is there anything I can do to avoid this?

This happens while uploading data via the Adwords-Api and leads to errors
about wrong sequence of BulkMutateRequests

After that the jobs stays in PENDING-mode forever and I have to delete
it manually and restart the upload.

Any hints, any information about this at all?

GetBidLandscape and bid adjustment ad schedule

2011-01-21 Thread cschmidt
Hi There,

I had been using the bid adjustment ad schedule feature in my AdWords 
account (i.e. to adjust my bid by hour of day).  I tried to see the bid 
profile in the AdWords web interface, and it said that this was incompatible 
with the bid adjustment feature.  So I turned it off, and sure enough I can 
see the bid landscapes in the web interface for my high traffic words. 

I would assume that if I can see the bid landscape in the web interface, I 
should be able to get those same values through a call to GetBidLandscape in 
the API.  (Is this correct?)  However, many of these words are not yet 
returning a profile through the API.  It has been more than 2 days now since 
I turned off the bid adjustment.  I'm hoping that it just needs some amount 
of data after the bid adjustment is turned off, and that it will begin to 
work.  Anyone know how long I might have to wait?  The system uses a 
previous week of data, but I'm hoping I won't have to wait that long.   What 
other criteria determine if I get a profile through GetBidLandscape?

Thanks,
Craig Schmidt

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

2011-01-21 Thread j.e.frank
You are right about what the first page bid tells you, but I disagree that 
this is nothing to do with the state of a keyword.  I'm interested in 
knowing when a keyword is languishing, and the first page gets by far the 
majority of impressions.  I'm not necessarily trying to ensure that the 
keyword is shown on the first page, but I am interested in knowing when it 
is not, so that I can make a smart decision about whether to raise the bid.

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

2011-01-21 Thread j.e.frank
Your reply makes me think that it might be possible with the later 
ReportDefinitionService, since you mentioned that you don't think it is 
possible with v13.  I did some investigation into v201008, and I still don't 
see any way to get the effective status through a report.  If you think 
there is a way using reports in 201008, please let me know what it might be.

As for using 0 recent impressions as a way to identify inactive keywords, 
that is not a bad idea.  There are lots of reasons why a keyword could be 
getting 0 impressions, and I was hoping to identify the reason in addition 
to simply identifying the fact of inactivity, but at least it is a start.
