Re: State/Province list for Location Extension

2011-08-16 Thread Luke Renn
1) It's pointless to even populate provinceCode.  It doesn't come down with 
the locations anyway (it's always null) and as far as I can tell, is 
ignored.

2) Right, but what I really wanted was the list countries that don't work as 
expected.  From what I can tell these are the United Kingdom, Egypt, and 
Columbia [ 'GB', 'EG', 'CO' ].  For those three countries there is a text 
field in the adwords ui even though there is seed data for province codes 
for those countries.  For the UK, it calls itself County, for this, the 
provinceName needs to either be the valid county, or a valid provinceName 
(England).  For any other countries with provinceCodes the provinceName 
needs to be the provinceCode with the country stripped.  Otherwise, the drop 
down won't be properly set.

3) While it's true that it is documented there, that's not exactly the best 
place for a developer to find it.  For anyone else out there, here are the 
supported country codes so you can filter your country list...

[ 'AU', 'AT', 'BE', 'BR', 'CA', 'CL', 'CN', 'CO', 'HR', 'CZ', 'DK', 'EG', 
'FI', 'FR', 'DE', 'HK', 'HU', 'IN', 'IE', 'IL', 'IT', 'JP', 'KE', 'KR', 
'LI', 'MY', 'MX', 'NL', 'NZ', 'NG', 'NO', 'PL', 'PT', 'RU', 'SG', 'SK', 
'ZA', 'ES', 'SE', 'CH', 'TW', 'TH', 'UA', 'GB', 'US' ]

4) Ok, could be better documented; not being able to pull by mediaId is odd.

Thanks,

Luke

Re: State/Province list for Location Extension

2011-08-04 Thread Luke Renn
First, it's not really a specific address.  It's a general question about 
what is supposed to be in provinceName and what the rules are around 
provinces in general.  

If you send a US address with US-NJ as the province code and leave 
provinceName blank, you do not get an error.  However if you check the 
address in the MCC the state is not populated.  To get that to work, you 
need to put NJ in the provinceName.  Fine, we can just strip out the 
CountryCode- from all provinceCodes and send that as the provinceName. 
 This works for most countries.  This is what the OP is about.

However, if you goto add a UK address there is no province drop down with 
the values from the province codes appendix[1].  Instead, it is a free form 
text field for County.  For UK addresses it seems you can put the 
provinceCode in, but for provinceName, you have to put an actual county. 
 Stripping out the CountryCode- like you can do for states does not work 
since those regions are Ireland, Wales, etc.  Besides trying every country, 
how am I supposed to know what these rules are?

So works:

provinceCodeUS-NJ/provinceCode
provinceNameNJ/provinceName

Doesn't work:

provinceCodeGB-ENG/provinceCode
provinceNameENG/provinceName

In this case, if I put a county name in provinceName it would work.  I just 
need to know what the rules are for each country.

Speaking of countries, is the list of supported countries documented any 
where other than just looking at the current UI?

My bonus question is where can I find the icon id mappings to the actual 
images.  I know 1000 is the default (looks like a desk), but I really don't 
feel like determining the other 16 by changing the icon and calling the 
service to see what it sends.  Can I download these icons anywhere other 
than right click-save as?  They are not returned from the MediaService.

Since the CampaignLocationAdExtensions are now part of the RMF I would 
expect some more documentation on it.

Thanks,

Luke

Re: State/Province list for Location Extension

2011-07-29 Thread Luke Renn
I'm bumping this old thread because I'm running into the same issue.

As the OP points out, locations provinceCodes are not the same as for 
GeoTargeting .  For the US this is easy to solve (remove country code), but 
I need to know the exact list of supported countries and what those province 
codes are.  Another variation is UK.  For GeoTargeting UK province codes are 
supported, but for LocationAdExtensions they are not (and instead get a free 
form 'County' field).  As this service was recently added to the RMF, 
developers are going to need to know the discrepancies between GeoTargeting 
and LocationAdExtensions.

Is there a documented list of supported countries and corresponding province 
codes?

Thanks,

Luke

MANAGED_PLACEMENTS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT Sending -- for placement

2011-07-26 Thread Luke Renn (Channel Intelligence)
Hi,

As of yesterday, the managed placement performance report is sending us -- 
for the placement url.  Here is a snippet:

row campaignID='32554097' adGroupID='824900507' keywordID='7293095237' 
placement='--' placementState='enabled' maxCPC='300' maxCPM='--' 
isNegative='false' destinationURL=''/

Oddly enough, those placement url's that have auxiliary information after 
the :: (like myurl.com::top right) are still coming down ok:

row campaignID='32554097' adGroupID='824900507' keywordID='11263000157' 
placement='searchengineguide.com::All Article Pages,Bottom center' 
placementState='enabled' maxCPC='300' maxCPM='--' isNegative='false' 
destinationURL=''/

This report has been working fine for a few months.  Any idea if/when this 
will be fixed?

Thanks,

Luke
