AdWords conversion tracking changes
I read today that in February, AdWords is rolling out some changes to how it counts conversions. Specifically: 'Conversions (1-per-click)' will be renamed 'Converted clicks'. This new > column name is a more accurate representation of what this column actually > counts: clicks that result in at least one conversion.

How will this affect the field names of the AdWords API?

oAuth for Installed Application: Can I use oAuth for Web Application instead?
I have created a web app that authorizes a customer's AdWords account, and then sends daily emailed reports about the customer's AdWords campaigns. The authorization process happens once, and with refresh tokens we use cron jobs to deliver the reports daily, on behalf of the customer. I have gone back and forth with my developer on this -- I am not the developer -- and from everything I have read, I should be able to use oAuth for Web Applications in Offline mode. However, he claims we must use the Installed Application scenario. The reason I ask is because we have a problem. The requirement to copy an authorization code into the web app is confusing. The language is even confusing: "Please copy this code, switch to your application and paste it there." Most of our test users cannot get past this step. Also, have you ever tried to copy such an authorization code on an iPhone? It does not work. The process is definitely not mobile-friendly, which is another big problem. You can test it for yourself here: http://www.reportly.com.

Re: oAuth or ClientLogin?
Hi David, With the installed applications flow, do users need to copy and paste an authorization code into our app if we're using oauth2? My developer thinks so. I thought I read otherwise.

Re: oAuth or ClientLogin?
Just to reiterate my last question, will oauth work for accounts that are unlinked (external) to our MCC? On Friday, November 23, 2012 11:44:59 AM UTC-8, Joey Muller wrote: > > Thank you, David.

Re: oAuth or ClientLogin?
Thank you, David. I will take a look at the installed application flow. Will this also work for adwords accounts that are external or unlinked to our MCC? The goal is to authorize any adwords user to use our web app. Thanks much, Joey -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.

oAuth or ClientLogin?
I have developed a tool for my agency's internal clients. It uses a scheduler to send automatica emails containing AdWords data. Now, some other folks are interested in using this, but their AdWords accounts are not linked to our MCC. What would be the best way to handle this? Would I use a sign-on or authentication process using oAuth? Or would I store email and password combinations in a database and use ClientLogin? I recall third party PPC platforms like Marin and others use the email/password combo solution, but I'm wondering if there is something slicker. -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
