Re: Global Average Position for Filtered Campaign Report

[Stephane]

Hi Brett,

Thanks for the reply and for your article. I agree the division isn't the 
best idea. Actually, I'm wondering if there's a way to get the bottom line, 
i.e. one row of result for the whole query, instead of 15 separate results 
when we don't query any dimension. There must be a way to get only one row 
with the desired metric. Maybe the campaign report isn't the right one to 
query for, but I don't see what report we could use when we filter on the 
campaign name.

In short, we want to get the 1.9 of the attached file. ie. the overall avg. 
position for the query, not all rows with every specific avg. position.

Any idea is welcome!

Thanks,

Stéphane

Is IN operator working like an OR for the status field?

[Stephane]

Hi,

We are using the dot net client library for Adwords (
https://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-dotnet/)

We ran into a weird behavior regarding the operator IN. We built a query so 
we can get some metrics for campaign that have their status to ACTIVE or 
PAUSED. To do so, we use the operator IN like CampaignStatus IN 
{ACTIVE,PAUSED}.

We would have thought that the result would be taken from campaigns that 
are active OR paused. But the reality is that it sends only data for the 
first predicate. 

CampaignStatus IN {ACTIVE,PAUSED} -> Sends only active campaigns.
CampaignStatus IN {PAUSED, ACTIVE} -> Sends only paused campaigns

Creating two predicates results in an AND and doesn't return any data since 
a campaign can't be active and paused at the same time.

Am I missing something here? Any idea how we could create a predicate so we 
can filter campaigns whose status are active OR paused?

Thanks,

Stéphane

Re: Global Average Position for Filtered Campaign Report

[Stephane]

Hi Brett,

You did understand correctly. And I agree with you. I'm dealing with 
telling the hard truth to the client and give him what he wants :) If 
there's no way to get that number than so be it. I'll send the article to 
the client as well :)

Thanks so much for your time.

Stéphane

Re: Global Average Position for Filtered Campaign Report

[Stephane]

Hi Dorian,

Thank you for your reply. I did try some variations of weighed averages 
(clicks and impression), but I still can't get the right number. 

I guess the trick would be to group results in the Adwords report when we 
don't query for a dimension. I don't understand why we get results by 
campaign when we don't add any dimension to the query. Unless we can use 
another report than CAMPAIGN PERFORMANCE and still be able to filter on 
campaign's name?

Thanks for your time.

Stéphane

Hi Brett,

Thanks for your reply.

Finally, it was a code 18 :) The IN operator works great.

Re: Global Average Position for Filtered Campaign Report

[Stephane]

That's weird... I try the CSV and I get the total line, but without the 
value. See:

"CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT (Aug 1, 2013-Aug 31, 2013)"
Avg. position
2.0
2.3
1.7
1.2
1.8
1.4
1.1
1.7
2.2
2.2
1.8
2.3
3.6
2.4
1.9
2.6
*Total*

Even if I add a dimension like campaign name I don't get the result:

"CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT (Aug 1, 2013-Aug 31, 2013)"
Avg. position,Campaign
2.0,Gants/Manchettes
[...]
1.9,Métiers - Peintres
2.6,Métier
*Total, --*

But! If I put the dimension first, we get the total:

"CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT (Aug 1, 2013-Aug 31, 2013)"
Campaign,Avg. position
Gants/Manchettes,2.0
[...]
Métiers - Peintres,1.9
Métier,2.6
*Total,1.4*

However, we need to work with the XML file so that's not going to work. 
Thanks for your help. I just learn something new :)

Hi,

I can't seem to find how to get statistics for the Ads displayed in Youtube 
videos? 

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports 

Am I missing something? If not, is this in the pipeline?

Thanks,

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object" on production server, but works in Localhost

[Stephane]

Hi,

We ran into a weird problem. We use the report definition service to update 
some reports. While it's working pretty well when we use localhost, it 
stopped working on our production servers few days ago.

The error is:

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

"stackTrace": "   at 
Google.Api.Ads.AdWords.Util.Reports.ReportUtilities.DownloadReportToStream(String
 
downloadUrl, Boolean returnMoneyInMicros, String postBody, Stream 
outputStream)
at 
Google.Api.Ads.AdWords.Util.Reports.ReportUtilities.GetClientReportInternal(String
 
downloadUrl, String postBody, Boolean returnMoneyInMicros)

We use C# and the latest v201309.

How can it work in localhost, but not in our production servers? 

We refreshed our production files many times, restarted the web server and 
so on with no luck. We think the problem is elsewhere. 

Any idea?

Thanks,

Stéphane

Re: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" on production server, but works in Localhost

[Stephane]

After some other tests, I keep getting this error:

System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An 
unexpected error occurred on a send. ---> System.IO.IOException: Unable to 
read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was 
forcibly closed by the remote host. 

It works with Google Analytics API though.

How to deal with display Device, Ad Network and Click type required in Campaign report (RMF)?

[Stephane]

Hi,

We were planning to create a report for a client using our framework. This 
report would show the performance of their Adwords campaigns. Some required 
fields by the RMF (
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/requirements) make a lot of 
sense like clicks, cost, impressions and conversions, which are basically 
what interests most of clients. However, there are 3 required fields that 
doesn't make much sense at all: Ad network, device and click type. 

I mean, the client wants an high level overview of their campaigns' 
performance with clicks, impressions, conversions and cost. The Ad network 
and display breakdown are not of any value for him. 

A little context: We at DashThis develop third party applications for Web 
agencies so they can provide their clients simple reporting for Google 
Analytics and Adwords among other things. Our understanding is that we are 
not a end-user only application nor an internal only (
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/terms)

My questions are:

#1: Did we get the RMF the wrong way and we are not required to display 
these fields into the client report?

#2: If not, is there a legit way to display an campaign overview table 
without breaking down to device, click type and ad network?

Thanks for any help,

Stéphane

I agree. This is extremely concerning as this could happen to us too. 

Any light on this would be appreciated.

Create reports filtered on remarketing lists

[Stephane]

Hi,

We use the API to create reports on campaigns and other usual stuff. Some 
clients would like to filter those reports using their remarketing lists. 

Having checked the documentation, I'm not sure how this would be done. How 
would we set the predicates to get results for remarketing list? Any idea?

Thanks,

Stéphane

Re: Missing campaign of type "Shopping - Product Listing Ads"

[Stephane Guerin]

Hi

I have this problem actually. Using ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT I can't get 
data for shopping campaign. I use no predicate.

The funny thing is that using Google Analytics API, I get the numbers 
including shopping campaign.

Anything we can do to get the shopping campaign data at the account level?

Thanks,

Stéphane

How can we get phone call conversions?

[Stephane Guerin]

Hi,

We can get some call conversions from the ACCOUNT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT report 
by creating a predicate on the clickType == CALLS but we can't get phone 
call conversions as we see in the UI. See attached.

First, what's the difference between conversion and phone call conversion? 
I believe phone call conversions as something to do with the call duration, 
right?

Second, how can we get that data from the API?

Thanks,

Stéphane

Concurrent requests not working on our production server

[Stephane Guerin]

Hi,

We have one weird problem with our ASP.NET MVC 4 application. Server is a 
windows 2008 fully patched and up to date. We use AdWords API DotNet Client 
Library . We ask for 
small reports, around 25 per batch.

If we launch around 25 threads on our development server, they all start in 
the same time and come back in about the same time too. As expected.

However, in our production server, when we launch the same app, all threads 
start at the same time, but come back at 2 seconds interval each. So 
instead of taking 2 seconds total, it takes around a minute. 

Is there some option in IIS that is not enabled? Is there some restriction 
based on our IP? We Googled the case a lot without success. Nobody seems to 
have this problem with Adwords API but us. Plus the fact that it works well 
in development tells us the problem is somewhere in our production server.

We can't find why. Any idea? 

Thanks for any help,

Stéphane

Re: Concurrent requests not working on our production server

[Stephane Guerin]

Hi Anash,

Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately, I got no luck with this. The problem 
still occur. We also have in our web.config the max connections set:

 



 I checked all the settings in IIS or in the web.config. I really can't 
figure why it works in dev but not in production.

Thanks,

Stéphane

Re: Concurrent requests not working on our production server

[Stephane Guerin]

Could it be some setting on Adwords end? SOAP limitation or IP restriction 
or anything else? I doubt that since it works well in dev, but we never 
know. 

We also created a service Web that wait for 2 seconds to test our threaded 
calls and the HTTP connections limit doesn't seem to be a problem as all 
requests get completed in around 2 seconds total (all at the same time 
compared with adwords which is one after the other).

Thanks for any idea.

Stéphane

Re: Concurrent requests not working on our production server

[Stephane Guerin]

Ho... looks like the trouble might be related to the fact that we use 
Windows 2008 Web edititon. Dang.

Re: Using Adwords API the same way we use Google Analytics API

[Stephane Guerin]

OK, thanks for your answer. It helps a lot. 

We'll do some testing.

Does Adwords API support oAuth 2.0? (.NET)

[Stephane Guerin]

Hi,

We use oAuth 2.0 for the Google Analytics API and this is working pretty 
well (.NET C#). I can't find information about oAuth 2.0 for the Adwords 
API. Can we use it? Is there any information on the matter?

Thanks,

Stéphane

Re: Cannot find AdWords API Center

[Stephane Michot]

Hi,

I'm having the same issue, I cannot see from the menu AdWords API Center ( 
neither new interface/old). Despite I've tried the steps you suggested, 
create a Manager Account, etc... Maybe I do something wrong...

Any suggestions?

Thanks
