Re: Strangely low search volumes for local exact match keywords

I asked same question in

but didn't get reply :(

Anyhow, I'll pitch in my example.  Keyword 'pet insurance', Exact for 
Australia - figures differ from 6,600 for IDEAS and 1,900 for STATS

CustomerSyncService dateTimeRange format issues

According to the documentation, I need to use MMdd HHmmss zzz for
the dateTimeRange.  Unfortunately, if I use "PST" or "pst" for zzz,
the api always throws the following exception:
InternalApiError.UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR

For instance, I can't have my min portion containing "20110209 172236

Forecasted keyword CPC look very low

2011-02-10 Thread datashaping
I've extracted the price for a large number of medium to high value
keywords (> 50,000) and the average CPC of 2,823,595 units. I guess I
need to divide by 10MM to transform into dollars (my account is a US
account), which would be an average of 28 cents (exact match), well
below the average Google CPC.

The average MSN CPC is 63 cents (exact match), for the same keywords.

Question: is the Google estimated CPC account-dependent? Why are my
CPCs so low?

You can contact me directly at vincentg [at] datashaping.com. See
below the Perl code that I used:

#
use Google::Adwords::TrafficEstimatorService;
use Google::Adwords::AdGroupRequest;
use Google::Adwords::KeywordRequest;
use Google::Adwords::CampaignRequest;

# Create the service object
my $service = Google::Adwords::TrafficEstimatorService->new();

# Login to the Adwords server
$service->email('xx')
->password('xx')
->developerToken('xx');

# if you use a MCC...

$service->clientCustomerId('xx');

# create some KeywordRequest objects

open(IN,") {

  $kw=~s/\n//g;
  $rows++;
  print "$rows\n";

  my $kwreq1 = Google::Adwords::KeywordRequest->new
->text($kw)
->type('Exact')
->maxCpc(10);

  # estimateKeywordList
  my @keyword_estimates = $service->estimateKeywordList($kwreq1);


  open(OUT,">>out5123.txt");
  for ( @keyword_estimates ) {
  print OUT "$kw\tupper Cpc\t" . $_->upperCpc . "\tmax clicks
\t" .$_->upperClicksPerDay ."\n";
  }
  close(OUT);

}
close(IN);

Disabled ads/keywords or ads with zero impressions

2011-02-10 Thread Sebastian
Hi,

When downloading my account history I have leant that if you segment
it by 'date' you will not download days with zero impressions.

What I am trying to do is fill the gaps of days that had zero
impressions with data. The thing is I need to know whether the item
(ad, keyword etc) was disabled or not.

Is there a way to download a segmented report of an items history,
segmented by date where is shows if an item was enabled/paused/deleted/
disabled on a daily basis?

the only other way I can think of is doing daily reports for each day
that has a gap due to 'zero impressions'

Thanks,

Seb

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

Hi Mike,

It will never be possible to convert a regular ad-serving account into
an MCC account, or share the same login between them.  This is a
limitation of the product and you shouldn't expect it to change.  That
said, it's fairly easy to create an MCC account, as all you need is
another email address.

Re: Bulk Queries

2011-02-10 Thread AdWords API Advisor
Hi Adam,

See the AdWords API rate sheet for unit costs:

  http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/ratesheet.html

The TIS has a per-idea (keyword) and per-request charge, and it's
beneficial to batch keywords together into fewer requests.  The cost
does not change based on the number of attributes (stats) you request
though.  There is no example for batching them, but you simply put
multiple keywords into the RelatedKeywordSearchParameter.

Re: Strangely low search volumes for local exact match keywords

Hi Martin,

STATS request are the preferred method of getting statistics for known
keywords, while IDEAS is appropriate for generating related keywords.
There have been cases in the past where STATS and IDEAS returned
different results, and we're working to ensure that this doesn't
happen going forward.  I'm not seeing this behavior across all
keywords, can you provide some samples that exhibit this behavior?

Pricing of Adwords API

2011-02-10 Thread u42
Hi,

in the Rate Sheet of the Adwords API it is stated that a
TargetingIdeaService get costs 0.1 API Units per TargetingIdea per-
item cost.

If, according to the maximal get result size of 800, i assume that one
request (which costs 5 API Units) results in a maximum of 800
TargetingIdeas and an item relates to requestedAttributeTypes (i.e. a
maximum of 13) than One request will cost a maximum of 800 x 13 =
10.400 API Units = 2.5 $.

Is that right?

Thanks, Tom

Monthly Global Search always equals Targeted Search

2011-02-10 Thread u42
Hi,

i'm trying to GetTargetingIdeaService('v201008') for german keywords
with following PHP code:

  // Create Country Target search parameter.
  $countryTargets = array();
  $countryTargets[] = new CountryTarget('DE');
  $countryTargets[] = new CountryTarget('AT');
  $countryTargets[] = new CountryTarget('CH');
  $countryTargetSearchParameter = new CountryTargetSearchParameter();
  $countryTargetSearchParameter->countryTargets = $countryTargets;

  // Create Language Target search parameter.
  $languageTargets = array();
  $languageTargets[] = new LanguageTarget('de');
  $languageTargetSearchParameter = new
LanguageTargetSearchParameter();
  $languageTargetSearchParameter->languageTargets = $languageTargets;

  ...

  $selector->searchParameters = array(
$countryTargetSearchParameter,
$languageTargetSearchParameter,
$relatedToKeywordSearchParameter,
$keywordMatchTypeSearchParameter
  );

Everything seems to work (e.g. i receive german keyword ideas) except
that "Monthly Global Search" always equals Average Targeted Monthly
Search.

Comparing the numbers to AdWords Keyword-Tool it reveals that the
numbers are the "Monthly Global Search" numbers.

Do i do something wrong?

Cheers, Tom

Can i invite a user as with MCC with Adwords API

2011-02-10 Thread necronet
I have been struggling with this, i know that the Google Adwords API
has a bunch of service to create custom application with the AdWords,
but with MCC i can invite a user that i would like to managed its
account, so is there a Adwords call that does that?

Multiple sitelinks extensions for campaign

2011-02-10 Thread rp
in one of our campaigns we managed to create 5 sitelinks extenations,
3 of them are DISAPPROVED and other 2 are APPROVED, all have
status=ACTIVE. Is this normal situation ? From what i have read on
adwords api blog it is possbile to have only one active sitelinks
extension in single campaign ? So is this a bug or maybe somerhing has
changed ?

Re: AccountService usage

Thank you. Why is the service unavailable in v201008? I guess there is
no harm in mixing v13 with v201008?

Re: Strange bug with KeywordsReport and formatting in XML

2011-02-10 Thread AdWords API Advisor
Hi Vitālijs,

I think this is a special placeholder keyword which represents all the
clicks on the content network due to automatic placements (which are
determined using keywords).  Can you request the Id field in the
report and let me know which ID it reports?

Best,
- Eric Koleda, AdWords API Team

AuthenticationError.NOT_ADS_USER @ ; trigger:'814921032347' Service[TargetingIdeaService.get]

2011-02-10 Thread Bob
Hello,

First, let me say I've read through the forum, the knowledge base
references provided in some links and can't seem to find an answer to
my issue.

I'm trying to utilize the "aw_api_php_lib_2.4.1" with examples in
order to access the AdWords API for working with "related keywords".
I am trying to use the sandbox first...

My auth.ini:
--
email = "info*@gmail.com"
password = "**"
userAgent = "*'s Test User Agent"
applicationToken = "ignored"
developerToken = "info***@gmail.com++USD"

; Uncomment to make requests against a client account.
clientId = "client_1+info@gmail.com"
--

I have set the default server in the settings.ini per instructions for
sandbox usage:
DEFAULT_SERVER = "https://adwords-sandbox.google.com";

Please tell me what I'm missing here so I can get back on track.

Much thanks,
Bob
