Leading spaces in keywords?
We seem to be seeing leading spaces in the keyword text field of CSV format criterionperformance reports, but only for certain clients/campaigns, and only for certain keywords.

Re: Ad Group Level Bid Modifiers example in Perl

Can keyword bids be changed without changing status?
I use the AdGroupCriterionService to change keyword bids via a Mutate SET operation on BiddableAdGroupCriterion. This is an automated process that pushes bid changes from an internal queue to AdWords. Early each morning I reload tables (via the ReportingService) containing all the information on all keywords. However, if I use that stored status as the value for userStatus in the SET operand, and the status has been changed either on the UI or in AdWords Editor, then I end up setting it to the wrong value. If I don't specify the userStatus, the documentation indicates that it defaults to Activate, which is just as bad if the current status happened to be Paused. The only change that I really need to make is to the bid - is there any way the change ONLY the bid, and leave the status untouched? thanks Reed -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and Google+: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ https://plus.google.com/+GoogleAdsDevelopers/posts =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups AdWords API Forum group.

.NET Client library example of paging?
I'm trying to retrieve an account's CampaignCriterion data and running into problems with the size of the result being too large.

Enhanced campaigns - getting summary of campaign targetting usage
Trying to get prepped for Enhanced Campaigns, first step is to get a summary of the extent to which geo, location and time targeting are used across all of the accounts and campaigns being managed. CampaignCriterionService seems the obvious solution, but is there an alternative using one of the reports from the ReportingService, along with zero-impressions? Something that would list all of the campaigns for the specified customer ID, and give information that would indicate whether it has each of the targeting types configured? For these purposes it wouldn't matter whether it showed that campaign ABC had 5 location targets or 10, just knowing that it had any location targets would be sufficient. I don't see anything but there are also a load of new reports, so I'm tossing this question out here. Doesn't matter whether it is a production or beta report. If I can do this via a report that will be probably be faster than using the CampaignCriterionService. thanks, -reed -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

MCC authtoken (client login) capabilities?
If I'm using client logins (ie, not oauth) for API access, and have an MCC with a number of AdWords accounts linked to it, what are the limitations/capabilities of the MCC login in making API calls? Specifically with services other than the ReportingService (which can create reports for the individual accounts using the MCC login's authtoken because the account ID is part of the report request). As an example, can I call the CampaignService to get a campaign's information, or mutate one of its settings, using the MCC login's authtoken? My understanding is that this cannot be done (or at least could not be done in the past), but I want to confirm that before telling a client with a ton of AdWords accounts under his MCC that I need the login information for all of those accounts in order to make bid/budget/etc changes. thanks!

Enhanced Campaigns; Retrieving bid adjustment data
I picked a few existing campaigns and converted them to Enhanced. Sure enough, when I run my API code and look at the XML being returned, there are two forwardcompatibiity keys. Once is Campaign.enhanced and it is set to true for the upgraded campaigns, and false for all others. Even on other AdWords Accounts where nothing has been done to upgrade any campaigns, I get that key, with a value of false. The other key that comes back for all campaigns in all accounts, upgraded or not, is Campaign.suggestedMobileBidAdjustment. it seems at least in the accounts I looked at, to always be 0.8. That's all well and good, and helps to to identify and track those campaigns that our specialists are upgrading to Enhanced. But how to I get the information on how they are configuring them? When I upgraded those two campaigns, I had to give it the data for setting the bid boosts - how do I retrieve that data? Without that data there is no way for me to be able to show what the actual bidding numbers are in the various Enhanced Campaign scenarios. thanks, -reed -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Reports taking forever to load
Anyone else seeing problem with reports taking forever to load today? We upgraded to the 201109_01 library yesterday, and now every report we pull (keyword perf, criteria perf, campaign perf, etc etc) is taking 25+ minutes to load - even the small ones that usually take only a second. We rolled back to the 201109 library, still see the same problem. Not sure what debugging info to include since this is the adhoc reporting. thanks -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Re: Can the API access the campaign label?
I don't think this has anything specifically to do with whether the accounts are being managed via an MCC account. The new labels feature is not limited to MCC accounts. I can log into the AdWords account, the same one that I pull data from via the API, and create labels. I think that the first-pass requirement would be that the label data can be included in reports. I know that this might not be easy, since it is possibly a many-to-one relationship between the labels and the criteria. The next level of need would be to retrieve the labels information at the campaign,adgroup, etc., levels in order to understand the hierarchy that has been created. Finally there is the need to actually manage the labels via the API (campaignservice, etc) - creating, deleting, updating. thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

GDN keyword-based placements - what will the performance data look like?
[thought I posted this a few weeks ago, but cannot find it in a search, so hopefully this is not a duplicate post] The Google Display Network is changing how placement matches are performed, moving from the theme approach of trying to match the collective group of an adgroup's keywords against possible content looking for a match, to one that looks pretty much like the way the search side has worked - matching specific keywords in the adgroup against possible content. The question is, how is this data going to look in the performance reports? In the past, the criterion and keyword reports have used the dummy content keyword to indicate automatic placements, and for managed placements have included the sitename as the keyword. Now there is going to be a real keyword to report on. How does that fit in? There will also be keyword level URLs, complete with tracking parameters; how does that picture look in the data that will be coming back? We have clients that have been whitelisted for this, but until we know how the data is going to look we're hesitant to set this live without knowing that we will be able to make sense out fo the data coming back in the performance reports. Being able to identify the data belonging to these keywords is crucial, as is knowing the destination URL that was triggered (to get the tracking data). thanks -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

When is it safe to load PLA performance data?
Reading recent posts about when it is safe to load various types of criterion... PLAs seem to take a long time to settle down in terms of data not changing. Sometimes on the order of a week or more.

Definitive way to identify Remarketing data in creiteria perf report

I'll second that request. We still have to use some pretty hokey code that uses the adgroup performance report and looks for specific text in the campaign name to identify DSAs.

keyword performance report shows incorrect/misleading campaign status
I saw a posting similar to this a few days ago, not sure if this is exactly the same scenario or not. Am in the (hopefully) final stages of converting some v13 structure reports to v201109. In tracking down some differences in data, I found that all of the v201109 keyword performance report data for a couple of campaigns in an account was showing the campaign status as active. In the v13 structure report pulled on the same day (today) the campaign status was ended and when I logged into the UI, the campaign status was enabled but the campaign serving status was ended. This is a zero impressions keyword_performance_report. The problem here is that there is no way to tell from the data in the performance report alone that the campaign is no longer serving. If I combine this data with the results from a call to the CampaignService, then I can see the campaign serving status, but that seems like unnecessary extra work. -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Changing zero impression handling in versions before 201109, such as v201008?
I gather from other posts over the past few days that the behavior of zero impression handling has somehow changed on the fly. My app that is still v201009 (am working on the v201109 version, but the v20108 is still the production version) is now see HUGE data files being loaded each day, and thins are running at a snail's pace. Trying to get to any online docs for the older versions in challenging - links just end up back at v201109. SO my question is, what is the syntax for the old-style report definition, to turn off zero impressions? Someone mentioned yesterday that he was pulling an adgroup report and say this, and fixed it by adding impiressions 0. SOunds good, but need to know where the old report definition wants to see that, since in the past I've never filtered the data on the Google end of things. thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Re: API for Call Metrics
I've been doing some more experimenting with pulling call stat data. It turns out that I can get the detailed level stat data, not just the campaign level data, from a Keyword Performance Report. All of the initial documentation, and the information given at the developers meetings in September, only talked about getting this data at the campaign level. Has there been a change? If I go forward with using the keyword level data (no predicates needed in the report definition, just include the click type column and only look at the data for Phone Calls)? That would be nice, since I have to process the keyword level data anyway, and it gives me the numbers with a lot more granularity. Is there a gotcha that I'm missing?

Re: CampaignPage results
Let me ask this a different way. I understand how you are currently getting the data that does not seem to match the other places you are getting the conversion data. What I am asking is that, if you get the data via the Keyword Performance Report, does that data match what you are getting from the campaignservice, or does it match what you are getting from the UI? I would expect (and hope!) that it would match what you are getting in the UI for the same date range. I pull all of my performance data via the reportingservice, and it matches what I see in the UI (taking into account the adjustments that Google does for click fraud, etc). The other thing to consider is whether you have multiple conversions, and are comparing the Sales conversion from one source with Total Conversions from the other, and having them not match up because of the non-Sales conversions.

Re: V201109 7 mobile call stats
Thanks Kevin, but the wording of your reponse confuses me a little. This isn't a just problem with desiring to filter the report data so that I only see campaigns with call data. The predicate filtering is actually a requirement in order to get any of the call data to show up in the campaign performance report. That was the info we got at the developers meeting, and is what I've experienced using the API. If I remove the predicate entirely, so that the report definition only specifies the call data columns, I get back an empty report for time periods where I can see on the UI interface that the data exists. On the surface I'd think that that meant there was no call data for the time period, but in fact I can create the report on the UI and download the spreadsheet and see the call data. So it's not really a restriction but a bug from where I sit. If I am not doing the correct thing to get the call data, please let me know! thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

V201109 7 mobile call stats
I'm running into problems trying to pull call stats (NumCalls, NummMissedCalls, etc) for mobile campaigns using the Campaign performance report. I've removed all fieldsfrom the report definition except for the daet, campaign name/ID, and the call volume stats (see below); If don't include any predicates, then I get no data at all, for a date when I can see in AdWords that there is call data. My scribbled notes from the developers meeting says that it needs to be filtered on device=HIGH_END_MOBILE and ClickType=CALLS, but I cannot get any of those predicates to work. I tried including device as a field, thinking that it would cause the report data to be segmented and show me the call data, but it turns otu that Device cannot be included when the NumCalls, etc., columns are also present. So I need to buy a vowel at this point. Here is my report definition: reportDefinition selector fieldsDate/fields fieldsCampaignId/fields fieldsCampaignName/fields fieldsId/fields fieldsNumCalls/fields fieldsNumMissedCalls/fields fieldsNumReceivedCalls/fields predicatesfieldClickType/fieldoperatorIN/ operatorvaluesCALLS/values/predicates dateRange min2006/min max2006/max /dateRange /selector reportNameCampaign/Call Performance Report/reportName reportTypeCAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT/reportType dateRangeTypeCUSTOM_DATE/dateRangeType downloadFormatCSV/downloadFormat /reportDefinition Here is the error that it returns: !!!2|||-1|||[SelectorError.INVALID_FIELD_SELECTION @ NumCalls; trigger:'Cannot select field: NumCalls and filter on: ClickType']???

v201109 Criteria performance report - automatic placements data?
I just pulled a criteria performance report for a client with automatic placements. It appears that automatic placements data is not broken out in this report as had been expected (after all, that was one of the big deficiencies in the previous version of the reporting system). In fact, it looks a lot like V13 - everything is rolled into a keyword called content with and Id of 300 and is given a criteriatype of keyword. I looked at data for yesterday, where everything is still in the Other domains bucket on the UI, and there is a single row as described above with the data shown in the UI for other domains. I then tried for 2 days ago, since on the UI some of its other domains data has begun to move to specific domains, and there is still only a single content data line which represents all of the automatic placement data. I tried a different account that has managed placements, and each of the managed placements shows up in the criteria performance report as an individual line with placement for the criteriatype. Does this mean that we are still going to have to piecemeal reports together just to get all of the data in one place, and will still have to do the automatic placements magic each day to figure out what data has moved out of other domains and into specific domains? I had thought that this new criteria report was supposed to have the detail data for everything in one place. Have not yet tried pulling for an account that has remarketing data. thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Re: Approved AdWords API developer token is now Rejeted - PLEASE HELP!
I'm curious as to whether those who have been affected by this process received any of the email audit notifications that the Google AdWords API auditing people have been sending out overthe past 4-6 weeks..?? Those messages referred to the pages that Eric mentioned to provide information on the nature of your AdWords API usage. I'm not trying to defend how they've handled this - I've been having a tough time filling those forms because they seem to make some assumptions about the types of api applications that exist. I think there is also a problem in that they sent the emails (every couple of weeks, actually) to the email address of the person that handles the API bills. It seems to me that they should have a setup similar to that of WHOIS for DNS registrations, so that there can be both administrative and technical contacts associated with an API key. You all might want to check and see what email they have that is associated with your API key, since that's what they seem to be using for their communicades. fyi -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Re: How to request all conversion types using v201101 API
Is your conversion funnel more than one conversion deep? If not, then what you are seeing is what I would expect. But if you have multiple conversions in the funnel then it would likely that the report with the conversionTypeName and conversionCategoryname would have multiple rows for the same keyword, and the total of those rows would equal what you are seeing in the report without the conversion columns (because that report only shows the total conversions). The advantage of this approach is that if you have complex conversion funnels, and especially if you have user-defined conversion nams, your reporting is no longer limited by the capabilities of the adWords reporting system. In the old reporting system you could nto get to that level of granularity. If your funnel is only one deep AND if you only have one type of conversion in your account, then there is no need to pull both reports. But if either the funnel is more than one deep OR if you have multiple types of conversions, then you need both reports if you want to see the details of your conversion activity. -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Re: KW Perf. Report missing Content Network stats
Eric, the blog posting is excellent. The timing of data availability as explained in the posting matches what we have seen. It was also valuable to be given some insight into the processeing that goes on behind the scenes. My only question on this topic at this point is what is meant when you say that the content keyword functionality has been restored. Are you saying that all adgroups with placement activity once again will have a content keyword (Id 300) in the keyword performance report that shows their aggregated activity? Is there any circumstance in which it would be better to use that data instead of the combined data of the managed placement and automatic placement reports, other than the fact that the Other Domains issue becomes moot because we dealing with aggregated data instead of detail data? My experience is that the placement reports removed a lot of the black box nature of dealing with the content network activity by letting me see what was really going on. Again, thanks for the great explanation of the timing of data availability! -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Efficient use of InfoService to get method-level usage data?
It looks like the only way to get daily API usage data at the method level is to do a call to the InfoService for each date/service/method combination. Is that correct? That means I need to drive it off of a prebuilt list of all service names and the applicable methods for each service. Would be nice to just give the service name and have returned an array of that service's methods and their usage numbers. Is there a chart (other than the rate sheet) somewhere that defines all of the valid service/methods combinations, including V13 (which would be a lot more complex than the post-V13 list)?

Re: Conversions in report with no cost or clicks
Those are most likely latent conversions. The impression and click occured on a prior day, but the conversion didn't happen until the day that you are reporting on. The conversion on an impression can occur up to 30 days after the actual impression (30 days is the life of the cookie set on the user's browser by the impression). Example would be someone doing a search, clicking through to your site,but not going to the conversion page. Then a day or two later they decide to make the purchase, and go to the page and continue through to the page that you have tagged as a conversion page. That's day's keyword performance files will not show the click or impression, but will show the conversion. -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Re: KW Perf. Report missing Content Network stats
Stephan is 100% correct. Aggregated numbers are great for simple reports, but a lot of us (especially agencies) need to see data at the detail level. So, can you explain comment about looking into putting back this functionality? What exactly is that referring to - do you mean the content keyword with the 300 ID? Seeing as how the data being attributed to that keyword (which is a legacy artifact from old reporting systems when placement reports didn't even exist) has been slowly disappearing since February, that's hard to believe! I for one would rather see you get rid of it completely and forever, but also get the data in the placement reports correct (ie, the Other Domains data) so that they add up correctly. It is really useful to have the detail data for the display network, and not just a lump sum content keyword data at the adgroup level - but only if the numbers are correct. -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Re: It's 2011, please make a REST API.
The reason that the adWords SOAP interface, and the usefulness of the various client libraries in trying to abstract out some of the intricacies of the interface, is because AdWords itself is in fact a complex beast. Some parts are very simple, especially those operations that are GETs, and so I can see your point about SOAP seeming to be overkill. But many operations are not so simple, and I cannot imagine easily implementing them as REST services. What if I want to create 1000 ads - that's one heck of a REST call! The stated need to be able to more easily build a JavaScript interface using REST rather than SOAP helps put this request in focus, because it distinguishes the desired use of the api from that of the backend production systems that many of us have been building to service large numbers of accounts with large numbers of keywords, ads, etc. If you are building something in JavaScript, then you are probably building more of a query tool. It could end up being an expensive query tool, btw, if it is going to be using the api to get its data all the time (rather than loading data into a database and then querying against it for free as often as you want). The recent announcement of a JavaScript client library might meet your needs in a better fashion - even if there were a REST api that you could call from JS, you'd still have to spend a lot of time programming to it, instead of using the JS client library and leaving the actual interfacing up to the AdWords team. my 2 cents -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Re: Conversions in report with no cost or clicks
Greg - I thought that you meant that you were pulling back-dated data and saw the conversions, which is what should happen for latent conversions. But it sounds like you're pulling data today (for instance) for date xx/xx/xx and seeing conversions but previous data pulls saw no clicks? That would be pretty interesting. Theoretically I guess that could happen if the conversion occured more than 30 days after the click because the browser cookie would have expired and so adWords would not know how to attribute the conversion. Or if the user did something else to erase cookies, or got to the conversion page directly without going through a search. The conversion JS snippet would still fire in those cases. Good luck tracking it down! -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Campaign Performance Report: Call Metrics
[I thought I saw a simialr question a week or so ago, but cannot find its thread...] The UI allows creation of Campaign Performance Reports that include Call metrics: # Calls, missed calls, received calls, call duration, and average call duration.

Campaign Performance Report V201101 - Impression Share
For a short second I thought that our wish for Impression Share data via the new API had been granted. I saw that ImpressionShare was listed in the V201101's available fields for Campaign Performance Report data. Then I looked closer and saw that the rest of the impression share metrics were not on the list: Lost IS - Budget, Lost IS - rank. ExactMatch-IS is on the list. So this is good, but not really great because those Lost IS numbers are extremely valuable. Was this just a type-o in listing what is available in the API, or a more serious problem?

Re: Is there is a delay between real data and API data?
Eric: I don't believe that those timeframes hold for data from the content network. I've not had problems pulling search performance data (keyword performance, etc) reports in the timeframes you suggest, but pulling managed or automatic placement data that early has usually been a problem. It seems to vary from one account to another - we have one whose managed placement data usually seems to be correct at 8am, and others that are not. Automatic placement data always seems to be available much later in the day. That same account whose managed placement data is ok at 8am doesn't have their automatic placement data available until late afternoon/early evening. I'm pretty sure that one of the AdWords pages that explains placement reports gives a rule of thumb to not pull placement data before 3:00pm of the following day. comments? thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Re: KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT incomplete data fix estimate
I'd like to second that request. Although we think that we've been able to get around this problem by pulling ad performance data and then searching for campaign names that we know are remarketing campaigns, it's a kludge and a bit risky. There needs to be some reliable way of identifying this sort of data. It seems pretty crazy that the reporting cannot report on 100% of the data that makes up the on-screen results seen in the UI interface.

Re: Automatic placements' data no longer aggregated into keyword performance reports/
Eric: What you say is also my understanding, but that is not what I am seeing. Until earlier this month, the content keyword was in the keyword performance report and contained 100% of the automatic placement data when compared to the UI tool. But what I am now seeing is that although the content keywords are still present in the keyword performance report, they seem to only have a minimal portion of the data collected from the serving of automatic placements. When I add together the daily totals from the keyword performance report, managed placement performance report, and automatic placement report, I get a number that is higher than what is shown in the UI for the total (and what is shown in the account performance report for that day). When I look closer at the keyword performance report data, and total up the numbers for content keyword data, I get values that are pretty close to that difference. thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Re: Automatic placements' data no longer aggregated into keyword performance reports/
There definitely seems to me to be overlap between the data in keyword performance reports that aggregates to the content keyword at the adgroup level, and the detailed data that is in the Automatic Placements report. What I have found is that the total daily numbers for data from the following reports: Keyword Performance Managed Placement Performance Automatic Placement Performance is higher than the number in the Account Performance Report. The amount of the difference is very close to the total from the Keyword Performance report for all keywords whose name is content. I'm not sure how to further track this down, since the content keywords are not real keywords in the adgroups, but are the invented keyword from AdWords for content network traffic. I don't understand how those numbers would differ from the detailed content network traffic that is shown in the Automatic Placements Performance report.

Automatic placements' data no longer aggregated into keyword performance reports/
Until a few days ago, the AdGroup level totals for automatic placements has always been aggregated into a keyword called content and reported with the keyword data in the keyword performance reports. This behavior seems to have changed. Does this mean that the only way to get Automatic Placements performance data is via the Automatic Placement performance report (I know that sounds like a stupic question, but in the past if I didn't want the detailed data on automatic placements this wasn't necessary)? thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Performance Reporting - aggregating at hourly level?
Looks like the UI is offering the ability to create performance reports at the hourly level - will this become available in the API reporting as well, and if so what is the selector syntax going to look like?

Re: Reporting Problems for Remarketing Campaigns
This is a known deficiency in the V2009/2010 reporting. What I am doing to get around the problem is to identify the remarketing campaigns via their name (in our case we have the word remarketing in all of our remarketing campaign's names), and then use the Ad Performance report to get their data. You have to pull all of the Ad Performance data since this is not something that you can filter on, and then ignore any data for campaigns those name does not meet your naming criteria. Hopefully this will help, and hopefully the AdWords reporting will someday include remarketing data (and in fact, ALL data). If you have an video ads, those will also cause problems, and we're fixing that problem in a similar manner. It's an admittedly risky solution, depending on naming conventions, but at the moment there is no other solution I have found.

Status of next API version Features?
At the AdWords API Developers workshop in NYC last September there was talk of a new API version coming out in Q4. Any update on this? One of the features mentioned was remarketing support, but it wasn't clear as to whether this was the support for creating/managing remarketing campaigns, or also the badly needed support in the API reporting system for remarketing campaigns' data. thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Re: Automated Rules In Adwords API
I think that there is real value in having an API interface to the Rules feature in AdWords. Although the existing API allows for automation, and we make extensive use of that capability, many of the more commonly automated tasks (bid changes based on time or performance criteria, ad status changes, etc) can be done more efficiently and at a lower cost when performed by AdWords rules. The numbers that we were given from a Google rep were along the lines of turning tens of thousands of ads on or off in a matter of seconds. Without an API interface to the Rules feature, all of the work must be done manually, and there is no way to integrate the Rules capabilities into a broader account management infrastructure that many of us have developed. Being able to swap out an exsiting module that handles massive enabling/disabling of ads, for instance, with one that just does a call to the Rule API would be a big, big, feature. If you're looking for votes, count me in.

Re: Create MCC account from existing Adwords account?
Please try searching recent postings on a topic, it's amazing what you will find. This specific topic has been discussed multiple times each week.

Vertical placements data in managed placements performance report?
A few weeks ago I asked about support for vertical placements in the performance data. These are placements whose name looks like category::Computers electronicsSoftware or category::Business IndustrialBusiness Servicesxxx Services The response was that there was no support for this, which was exactly what I was seeing in the API reports. There was a suggestion to try determine the keyword IDs from the Criterion service's data and then use those to match with the data in an Ad Performance report. That looked like the direction I was going to head into. Until today. I noticed that the data for the customer with these placements was no longer off by the amount of those placements. Lo and behold, their vertical placements data is now coming down in the managed Placements performance data. So my question is: is this support intentional (ie, it's not going to change) or an accident? thanks! -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.

Re: Managed Placements reporting service not showing all managed placements
Eric: Are there any columns that can be used in an ad performance report to isolate the ads from Vertical Placements? I took a look and didn't see any, but want to see if that is an alternative. We have found that report to be useful for loading certain accounts' video performance data and remarketing campaign performance data, by filtering the data returned in the report, even though there is no API functionality to specifically address those types of data. I see in the list of fields for ad performance reports that KeywordID is included, but not the keyword/placement name itself. If I knew the keyword/placement name that triggered an ad, I could filter the ad performance data base on that info. thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.
