TargetingIdeaService - requestType IDEAS or STATS - incorrect search volume

[MRL]

Hi Guys

When using the TargetingIdeaService for a specific country, exact match, the 
local search volume is different if you toggle between IDEAS or STATS.  In 
other words, when using IDEAS, and iterating through the suggestions, and 
finding the exact match of keyword entered (when the generate related 
keyword matches the input keyword), the search volume is nearly 3 times more 
than when using STATS on that keyword

Which is correct?

Cheers
Mark

Issue getting ad details when trying to include: AdNetworkType1

[Sebastian]

Hi,

I am having an weird issue when trying to download all my ad details.

The below code works:


// Report Definition - What type of Report I want
$reportDefinition = new ReportDefinition(); //object which
contains the basic report type info
$reportDefinition->reportName = "Update of Ads Table Information";
$reportDefinition->dateRangeType = "ALL_TIME";
$reportDefinition->reportType = "AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT";
$reportDefinition->downloadFormat = "CSV";

// Selector - What field/data will this report contain
$selector = new Selector(); // object which contains all the field
and data info for the report
$selector->fields = array("Id", "Headline", "Description1",
"Description2","DisplayUrl","Url","Status"); //, "AdNetworkType1"

But when I add "AdNetworkType1" in the array of field the report still
processes but without any data.

I can't work out why this is.

The AdNetworkType1 is linked to the ad correct?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Seb

Local Monthly Searches - Keyword Tool v Traffic Estimator

[MRL]

Hi Guys

I am currently using the TargetingIdeaService API (v200909) to get local 
monthly searches for keywords, in Australia, and Exact match.   This works 
well, and the figure I get matches the Keyword Tool Traffic 
Estimator,
 
but it is very different from the Keyword Tool Keyword 
Tool

I am confused as to which is an accurate figure to use for Local Monthly 
Searches, and which API to use.  For example, using the UI:

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Enter keyword 'pet insurance', selecting Australia, and English, and Exact 
the 'Keyword Tool' returns local monthly searches of 6,600, and using same 
parameters for the 'Traffic Estimator', returns 1,900

Which API is correct to use for an accurate figure?

Thanks
Mark

Re: AccountService usage

Hi Craig,

Please ignore the comment that starts with "// Displays" in my

AdWordsUser user = new AdWordsUser();
// Get AccountService.
AccountInterface accountService =
user.getService(AdWordsService.V13.ACCOUNT_SERVICE);

// Initialize the sandbox and retrieve a list of 5 client accounts in

Hi Craig,

You could use the Java client library from 
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-java
instead, you can find all the java code examples here. As for the
snippet you need, it will look something like this when using the Java
client library.

AdWordsUser user = new AdWordsUser();

// Get AccountService.
AccountInterface accountService =
user.getService(AdWordsService.V13.ACCOUNT_SERVICE);
// Displays the account's name, timezone, language, and currency.
String[] clients = accountService.getClientAccounts();

Re: Can not find how to access API from MCC

[AdWords API Advisor]

Hi Johan,

Make sure you are logged into your MCC account and not your AdWords
account. An MCC account should have a "My Client Center" tab in it.

Once you are within your MCC account, navigate to My Account->AdWords
API Center and follow the instructions on that page to get your
AdWords API tokens.

Re: Mutate Call Failed

[AdWords API Advisor]

Hi Nick,

The most likely reason for this error is that you are hitting the
ClientLogin endpoint very frequently. AuthTokens have long expiration
periods, so the ClientLogin isn't designed to be hit very frequently.
If you do, then the server will eventually throw you a Captcha error,
and you have to either unlock the captcha or wait for a while for the
error to go away. The workaround is to cache the authTokens at your
end and reuse them as far as possible.

See this blog post for more details around the best practices for
handling authTokens: 
http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com/2010/07/discover-v2009-working-with-authtokens.html.

Re: My adword api request got rejected by google

Hi Ankur,

We check the website as part of the review process, so to ensure that
your tokens get reviewed properly, add your original site and make
sure it is up and running during the review process. Once you migrate
your site to the new servers, update your developer information, and
then respond to the rejection mail you received from Google. One of us
can follow up with you over that mail and get the review done.

Re: automating reports?

[AdWords API Advisor]

Hi Diep,

This is possible, though the approach needs to be slightly different.
I'm providing links to the relevant code examples from the PHP client
library (http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-php)

- Use the AdWords API to create a report definition:
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-php/source/browse/trunk/examples/v201008/AddKeywordsPerformanceReportDefinition.php
- Download the report:
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-php/source/browse/trunk/examples/v201008/DownloadReport.php
- Customize the report, email it to your customers.

See http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/appendix/reports.html for
the list of supported reports, and
http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com/2010/07/introduction-to-reportdefinitionservice.html
for an introduction on the report definition service.

Re: How can I sign up for Google Adwords API, I get an "access denied" message.

[Mike MacCana]

Hi Eric,

I already am very much aware of the differences between non MCC and
MCC accounts. The inability to change a non MCC account to an MCC
account is the issue here, please see the post you're replying to or
any of the other similar threads.

Re: Which Access Level I need to use the API?

[AdWords API Advisor]

Hi Dymytry,

AdWords API follows the access rights in the web UI, so with a
ReadOnly access, you should be able to do get() calls, but mutate()
calls should fail. I believe a Standard access should be enough for
covering all features of AdWords API.

Cheers,
Anash P. Oommen,

Re: ReportDefinitionService(v201008)

[AdWords API Advisor]

Hi Hiro,

1. The new reporting API gives you all the records, so you don't need
a includeZeroImpression field. You can control what is being returned
by the report using Predicates. See
http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/reference/latest/ReportDefinitionService.Predicate.html
and 
http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/reference/latest/ReportDefinitionService.Selector.html#predicates
for details.

2. You can perform aggregation on reports by including aggregation
columns in the ReportDefinition. See 
http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/reportguide.html
for details.

Anash P. Oommen,

Re: C# program like https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

[AdWords API Advisor]

Hi,

Your code example is just fine, but you need to send your request to
the production server (https://adwords.google.com) instead of sending
it to the sandbox (https://adwords-sandbox.google.com). The
TargetingIdeaService will only give you test results in the sandbox.

Re: 'API Center' in MCC documentation out of date. How to get developer token?

[AdWords API Advisor]

Hi Mike,

Since MCC is a different account than your existing AdWords account,
you need a second email address to create an MCC. If you have a gmail
account that you don't use with AdWords, you could use that email
address in the wizard. If you don't have a second gmail address and
you are okay creating one, then create a gmail account and then use
that to create your MCC account. If you don't want to create a second
gmail address and have an email from another provider, say, Yahoo!,
then follow the wizard, select "I do not use these services" and
provide the new email address in the signup wizard.

Several users have mentioned on the forum before that they want to use
a single email for AdWords account and API MCC account, but
unfortunately AdWords doesn't support that case.

As for the workaround article you mentioned, you still end up
requiring two email addresses. If you don't mind changing your AdWords
account's login, then here's a cleaner way (e.g. no need to delete
your account as the article mentions) to do things than the one
mentioned in the article.

- Create a second email address.
- Use this FAQ to change the login of your AdWords account to the new
email address. 
http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=27686
- Use your original email address to create an MCC.
- Signup for AdWords API in that MCC.
- Link your AdWords account under the new MCC.
- Use the mcc to manage your AdWords account.

Cheers,
Anash P. Oommen,
AdWords API Advisor.

Re: reporting within MCC account via API v201008

[AdWords API Advisor]

Hi Daniel,

Python isn't my personal favourite language, but here's a code example
that I put together in C# using the AdWords API .NET library. You
should be able to figure out the equivalent python code from the code
snippet below:

// Get the service.
ReportService service =
(ReportService) user.GetService(AdWordsService.v13.ReportService);
// make sure we are not using  clientEmailValue when running cross
client
// reports.
service.clientEmailValue = null;

// Create the report job.
DefinedReportJob reportJob = new DefinedReportJob();
reportJob.name = "Campaign Report";
reportJob.selectedReportType = "Campaign";
reportJob.aggregationTypes = new string[] { "Daily" };
reportJob.endDay = DateTime.Today;
reportJob.startDay = new DateTime(2009, 1, 1);
reportJob.selectedColumns = new string[] {
"Campaign", "CampaignId", "DailyBudget", "Cost"};
reportJob.crossClient = true;

// Uncomment the following lines in case you want to restrict your
report
// for specific accounts only.
//reportJob.clientEmails = new string[] { "CLIENT_1_EMAIL_HERE",
"CLIENT_2_EMAIL_HERE"};

// Validate the report job.
try {
  service.validateReportJob(reportJob);

  // Submit the request for the report.
  long jobId = service.scheduleReportJob(reportJob);

  // Wait until the report has been generated.
  ReportJobStatus status = service.getReportJobStatus(jobId);

  while (status != ReportJobStatus.Completed && status !=
ReportJobStatus.Failed) {
Thread.Sleep(3);
status = service.getReportJobStatus(jobId);
Console.WriteLine("Report job status is " + status);
  }

  if (status == ReportJobStatus.Failed) {
Console.WriteLine("Job failed!");
  } else {
// Report is ready.
Console.WriteLine("The report is ready!");

// Download the report.
string url = service.getGzipReportDownloadUrl(jobId);
byte[] gzipReport = MediaUtilities.GetAssetDataFromUrl(url);
byte[] expandedReport =
MediaUtilities.DeflateGZipData(gzipReport);
string fileName = "INSERT_FILENAME_HERE";
using (FileStream fs = File.OpenWrite(fileName)) {
  fs.Write(expandedReport, 0, expandedReport.Length);
}
Console.WriteLine("Report downloaded to " + fileName);
  }
} catch (SoapException e) {
  Console.WriteLine("Report job is invalid. Exception: {0}",
e.Message);
}

As for the other pieces,
- Get all accounts under an MCC, plus figuring out if they are MCC or
client accounts:
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-dotnet/source/browse/branches/v11.3/examples/csharp/v201008/GetAccountHierarchy.cs
- Get all campaigns under a single account:
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-dotnet/source/browse/branches/v11.3/examples/csharp/v201008/GetAllCampaigns.cs
- Modify a campaign:
http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-dotnet/source/browse/branches/v11.3/examples/csharp/v201008/UpdateCampaign.cs

These code examples are present in the python library too, in case you
want use python instead of C#.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions.

Cheers,
Anash P. Oommen,
AdWords API Advisor

My adword api request got rejected by google

[Ankur Sharma]

I am software developer and i want to create one software which require 
google adword api. I applied, attached my credit card to my adword account. 
But my application got rejected, primary reason was i was moving my site to 
new server and when google employees checked , my site was unavailable. I 
reapplied for account, this time i have put another website which is content 
site, but right now i am not using any adsense or any other advertizement 
there. Its just pure content right now.


I want to ask if google is very strict in giving api access? How can i get 
api?

Thanks

Url Performance Report distinguish between Automatic and Targeted Placements?

[Joel]

Within the Url Performance Report it doesn't seem as if there's a way
to distinguish between Automatic and Targeted Placements for Content
traffic. I tried using the CriteriaParameters column, but that always
returns keywordPlacement='Content' for both traffic types. Can you
please either alter the return value to distinguish between the
placement types, or add a separate column to accomplish this?
Thank you,

Joel

No subdomains in the Automatic Placements Performance Report?

[Joel]

It appears as if the recently-fixed Automatic Placements Performance
Report doesn't include the subdomain portion of the domain in the
domain column (except for Google domains). I'm trying to match these
values with the dynamic url insertion parameter {placement} which does
include subdomains. If I have the same level of detail for both of
these then I can much more accurately use it to target domains. Would
it be possible to include the subdomain in this report?

Thanks,

Joel

AccountService usage

[Craig Smith]

I noticed on the forum (http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api/
browse_thread/thread/1840738dc7b82e3a/d41bb4480db257f0) that when the
sandbox is refreshed the accounts are also lost and need to be
reestablished. This requires a call to
AccountService.getClientAccounts(). I went to the documentation and
followed the link to the Java source code example at
http://code.google.com/p/adwords-api-java-samples/source/browse/trunk/src/GetAccountInfo.java
but I get a 403 error. I tried a couple of accounts without success.

Can you post the sample here or fix the security issue?

Craig

Re: Adwords ReportService not recognizing clientCustomerId header

[abhinay]

Hi Eric,

Thank you for your reply. It helped me track down the bug.

The adwords4r gem creates an empty 'clientEmail' entry in the
credentials hash whether you want it or not.
When I delete that entry from credentials when using
'clientCustomerId' everything works fine.

So this is what I do to fix the issue:

adwords = AdWords::API.new(AdWords::AdWordsCredentials.new(
  {
"developerToken"   => "*",
"applicationToken" => "*",
"useragent"=> "*",
"password" => "*",
"email"=> "*",
"clientCustomerId" => "1234567890"
  }))

report_service = adwords.get_service('ReportDefinition',
AdWords::Service.latest_version)
report_service.api.credentials.credentials.delete("clientEmail")

And it all works as expected.

Thank you.

Regards,
Abhinay Mehta

Rate Sheet Unclear

[Michael]

Hi,

I have been looking through the documentation on using the Google
AdWords API to retrieve the 'exact monthly search volumes' for bulk
keyword lists, although the costs on the rates sheet is very unclear
since there is a cost 'per connection' and a cost 'per request' (ie
keyword).

I require clarification so I can estimate the costs involved.

Can you please provide clearer information for the breakdown of how
the costs are calculated for say a list of 10,000 keywords.

Regards.
Michael

Performance issues when creating ads and keywords after many hours

[Alvin]

I'm having issues with slow performance when creating ads and keywords.
I'm creating arround 3600 ad groups, 15000 text ads (AdGroupAdService) and 
65000 keywords (AdGroupCriterionService) using the AdWords API DotNet Client 
Library with v201008.

I the beginning it takes arround 1-2 seconds in average to create a text ad 
or keyword. 
After many hours (20) it starts taking longer time to create some of the ads 
and keywords. 

Some still takes 1-2 but others take 10 seconds, 30 seconds minutes and in 
extreme cases 2 minutes.

Such as:

2011-02-09 09:15:54,798 [1] DEBUG AdWordsManager - Creating text ad
2011-02-09 09:18:13,798 [1] DEBUG AdWordsManager - Creating text ad


Why this behaviour of slower performance after running for many hours?


Regards

Alvin

Re: Strangely low search volumes for local exact match keywords

[Martin]

I've found out some more about the low values for exact keyword match
on local search volumes.

Update:

The search volumes in STATS requests differ from the search volumes in
IDEAS requests. This explains why we experience different values in
the keyword tools. Is this an old issue that has resurfaced? A fix for
clients would be to exploit STATS requests, which is how it had to be
done quite some time ago. However, to ensure values for all keywords
there is an overhead in API-units.

Are you looking into this discrepancy between the two data sources?

Best regards
