Re: [AWQL] includeZeroImpressions doesn't work with PRODUCT PARTITION REPORT

[road11]

Mine does. Try excluding the Impressions column. That might be killing 
zero-impression rows. I'm bringing down only the ID and name columns for 
campaign, adgroup, and partition, and that's working for me.

If you include certain statistic columns in  your select list, it can 
suppress zero-impression rows.

How to remove custom parameter

[road11]

I've got to programmatically remove custom parameters from all keywords in 
one campaign. I can remove the tracking template by setting it to 
String.Empty in C#. But nothing I try seems to remove the custom 
parameters. I've tried setting the key and value to String.Empty, but then 
I get a TOO SHORT error. How do I remove custom parameters through the API.

This doesn't work...

CustomParameter mParam = new CustomParameter();
mParam.key = String.Empty;
mParam.value = String.Empty;

biddableAdGroupCriterion.urlCustomParameters.parameters =
new CustomParameter[] { mParam };

Re: Most efficient way of pulling criterion data for large accounts

[road11]

Forget the AdGroupCriterionService. With that many kw, the api cost will 
kill you. Use reports. I use Criteria Performance report and Keyword 
Performance Report. The only thing I use AdGroupCriterionService for is 
bidding. If all you're doing is consuming data, use reports; they're free.

 Hi,

 I'm trying to pull all keywords contained within an account in order to 
 output the details (e.g. # of keywords, # of campaign negatives, #ad groups 
 with over x keywords, etc).

 My understanding is that in order to be able to retrieve a criterion with 
 it's associated ad group ID, the data needs to come from 
 AdGroupCriterionService. However, some of my accounts contains 10k+ ad 
 groups and 500k+ keywords, making iterating through ad group level calls 
 slow and feeling very inefficient. As far as I can tell, this can't be 
 filtered at a campaign level, meaning that a call unfiltered by AdGroupId 
 can fail due to the 100k paging startIndex limit.

 Is there a more efficient way to pull large amounts of criterion data 
 whilst still having a full view of the criterion's information?

 Thanks

 Sam

Re: How much money microAmount refers to?

Just divide any micro amount by 1,000,000. That'll give you local currency.

 Forexample if microAmount is set to 5000 , how much is it in $

Re: Unable to delete excluded partition

Any chance you could post your code (even if it's Ruby) to edit the

me without throwing an exception.

Thanks in advance,

 Hi Eric,

 Yes, I'm deleting the default subdivision partition. The ID is shared

 criterion you're deleting inside a specific ad group

 so you won't be deleting anything in other ad groups.

 As for the tree being in an inconsistent state, that doesn't seem to be 
 the case, since you can see it in the UI (you'd be getting errors 
 otherwise), so it's probably just a case of deleting the root node and

Latest .Net libraries missing v201309

[road11]

I've been running the Adwords.Net libraries v18.1. It contains the 
namespace Google.Api.Ads.AdWords.v201309;

However, I just ran NuGet to bring down the latest dll, v.18.2. Help me

has is v201306.

This is causing major problems. Please fix.

Possible to use Bulk Mutate when creating Shopping Partition Trees?

[road11]

We have to create one sku per adGroup in our Shopping Campaigns. But it's 
not enough just to create the adGroup and the product ad. We have to create 
the mandatory 3-member partition tree (the all products partition, the 
sku partition, and the excluded everything else partition). 

The challenge is the time this takes. We have hundreds of thousands of 
skus, and creating these one-at-time is taking forever. Can we use the Bulk 
mutate (SimpleMutateJob) with Shopping objects like we do regular Adwords 
objects, like so?...

SimpleMutateJob job = mutateJobService.mutate(operations.ToArray(), policy);

I didn't want to try this without checking, as the .Net libraries for the 
Shopping campaigns are somewhat unstable in their current version. I'd 
rather see if anyone has run into any major issues before I try it here. If 
I can do this, does the same 5000 operation limit apply here as well?

Re: Possible to use Bulk Mutate when creating Shopping Partition Trees?

[road11]

Thanks, Sergio. Yes, that's how I'm doing it now (sorry if I wasn't clear). 
I have to create the adGroup first, then the product Ad, then create the 
entire tree in one go. I have to do it that way because I keep getting 
intermittent errors when creating lots of AdGroups and Product Ads in a 
loop (Unkown API Error, Refresh Token Failure, et. Al). 

Was just hoping for a faster solution.

Thanks,

 Hi Eric,

 It's not currently possible to create product partitions with the 
 MutateJobService, I'm afraid.

 Your best bet is to create the entire partition tree in one go (instead of 
 with 3 separate requests) with the AdGroupCriterion service mutate call. 
 You can do this by assigning a negative number to the root node (say, -1), 
 and then referencing this number in the sub-nodes' parentCriterionId 
 property. This can be extended to more complex trees, as long as you assign 
 different negative numbers to all nodes with children and reference these 
 numbers from the children.

 Hope this helps!

Re: Unable to delete excluded partition

[road11]

Sergio,

Thanks for your response. In all of my trees, I have only 3 partitions: the 
default subdivision partition, the sku partition that I bid on (type UNIT), 
and the everything else partition, which I've set up to be Excluded, 
making it a NegativeAdGroupCriterion, which is also a UNIT type. I can't 
seem to delete any of them successfully. Are you saying you're deleting the 
default all products partition? That partition's ID seems to be shared 
among all my adGroups (all my adGroups' default partitions have that same 
ID).

If my tree were in an inconsistent state, how would I know? It looks the 
same in the UI as it does had I created it in the UI, itself. Would it help 
if I posted the C# code I used to create the tree?

 Hi Eric,

 I'm afraid I'm having trouble replication your issue locally. I've set up 
 a partition tree with a NegativeAdGroupCriterion and had no trouble 
 deleting the whole thing by just deleting the base node.

 Perhaps the tree you're testing this with is in an inconsistent state? 
 Could you try creating a new one and testing there?

 Cheers,
 Sérgio

Unable to Edit Existing Product Partition

[road11]

I've figured out how to create an new Partition tree, but now I had to edit 
the CaseValue of the Partition I wish to bid on (not the parent partition 
of the everything else partition). 

There is no code sample in the .Net API that shows how to do this (we 
*really* need that example). I've seen elsewhere Josh indicated that in 
order to modify any part of the tree, you have to pass the whole tree over. 
I tried that and got an error indicating that I'm not allowed to modify a 
product partition that is a Negative AdGroupCriterion (we're excluding the 
everything else unit, thereby making it negative). So, I tried passing 
every part of the tree except the everything else partition. I didn't get 
an error on the mutate method, but it didn't change anything either; the 
resulting tree is exactly as it was before. 

That being the case, I see no way to modify the biddable partition using 
the API. Could someone from the Google API team please give us a code 
sample of how to do this. We really need complete examples, guys (Create, 
Read, Update, and Delete). The code samples you've published, even though 
they don't run successfully, are at least enough to point us in a direction 
to figure out how to create a partition tree. For editing an existing tree, 
we need more. It's not as easy as just changing the operation type from ADD 
to SET (tried that, and got the result above)

This is costing us days trying to figure out how to do this. I've tried 
seemingly 100 ways to make it work, but cannot seem to. Can somebody please 
give us a working C# (I'd settle for VB.Net at this point) sample of how to 
edit an existing partition?

 So, can somebody from the adwords team set me straight? How do you delete 
a partition tree out of an adGroup through the API that contains an 
excluded partition (all of ours do)? It doesn't seem to like anything I 
throw at it.

Error Creating Shopping Product Partition in .Net

[road11]

I'm going to try to explain my issue without expressing how frustrated I am 
trying to get this Shopping API working, so here goes...

I am using .Net API. I can create a Shopping campaign and an AdGroup under 
that campaign with no problem. I am hitting a brick wall, however, trying 
to create a Product Partition tree. I even tried running the .Net sample 
code that is downloadable from the library site 
(v101406.AddProductPartitionTree). It doesn't even work; throws an 
AdGroupCriterionError on the mutate() method.

Under this adGroup, I want to create a simple partition of type Unit 
representing one sku that I can bid on. I know I need to create a root 
paritition of type Subdivision. I also know I need to create an Other 
group that will be essentially empty.

I've looked at the slideshare,  the getting started guide, and the C# 
samples that come in the .Net client library. I have yet to find a 
combination that works. Here's what I have. Hopefully, someone can point 
out what I need to do to get this seemingly simple task done...


AdGroup ag = gag.GetExistingAdGroupFromGoogle(campaignID, 
TestAdGroup10);
long adGroupId = ag.id;  //not published for security  
///*create your root subdivision: All Products*/
ProductPartitionHelper helper = new 
ProductPartitionHelper(adGroupId);
ProductPartition root = helper.CreateSubdivision(null, null);

/* create an other node, what am I missing here?*/
ProductOfferId poid = new ProductOfferId();
poid.ProductDimensionType = 
ProductDimensionType.OFFER_ID.ToString();
ProductPartition node2 = helper.CreateUnit(root, poid, 1, 
false); 

try
{
// Make the mutate request.
AdGroupCriterionService adGroupCriterionService =
(AdGroupCriterionService)user.GetService(
   AdWordsService.v201406.AdGroupCriterionService);

   AdGroupCriterionReturnValue retval = 
adGroupCriterionService.mutate(helper.Operations); 


When I run the above code, I don't get an error, but when I go to the My 
Client Center UI to examine the results, I get the big red error message at 
the top of the page saying this:
 
There was an error with your operation. If you were trying to make a 
change, it may not have saved. Please refresh this page to try again. If 
the error continues, log out of your AdWords account, then log in again and 
return to this page.

Clearly, I've done something so horrible that MCC can't even display the 
results. But I don't know what it is or how to make it work properly. And 
with the August deadline looming, I'm a tad nervous about it (especially 
since the .Net sample code Google published doesn't even work).

I need a C# code sample that runs. Can anyone help me? Please? 


t, then log in again and return to this page.

 Hi Igor,

 By 'default' do you mean when the partition's caseValue

 is an instance of ProductBiddingCategory 
 https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/AdGroupCriterionService.ProductBiddingCategory?
  
  As you pointed out, for those objects you can use 
 ConstantDataService.getProductBiddingCategoryData 
 https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/ConstantDataService#getProductBiddingCategoryData
  to 
 fetch human-readable labels for the IDs.  However, I realize this means 
 using yet another service to tie all of the data together.  If you've 
 already tried this approach and found issues with it, please let me know.

 I have several requests in for improvements to the shopping reports. 
  I'll update this post on any progress.

 Hi Josh,

 Thanks for looking in this for me.

 I am well aware that we need to use the AdGroupCriterionService to 
 retrieve more details. The thing is that for most of the partitions we are 
 able to get human readable data, like the brand. But when the partitions 
 are based on the 'default' (aka. Google provided categorization) the 
 AdGroupCriterionService does not provide human readable data.

 It would be much better to include this, and the parent ids in the 
 performance report.

 Op woensdag 7 mei 2014 18:57:00 UTC+2 schreef Josh Radcliff (AdWords API 
 Team):

 Hi Igor,

 I gathered some more information about the intended use cases for the 
 *Product 
 Partition Report* and the *Shopping Performance Report*.

- *Product Partition Report* is a *Product Partition-level report* 
meant to show you how your ad group criteria based on product 
 partitions 
are performing.  As you stated, this report only gives you the 
 criterion ID 
(the *Id* field) -- it does not include the attributes of the 
criterion's associated product partition.  If you need that information 
 you 
can use *AdGroupCriterionService* to get the relevant fields by 
criterion ID and then join that data to the report data by criterion ID.
   - Note as well that the *Product Partition Report* is a 
   hierarchical report and will attribute an impression to the row for 
 every 
   node in the hierarchy that includes the partition that triggered the 
   impression (the leaf node of the tree).  For example, if your 
 partition 
   tree consisted of ProductCanonicalCondition = new - Brand = my 
 brand, and 
   you have 1 impression that meets that criterion, then the impression 
 would 
   appear on *two rows* in the report: the row for 
   ProductCanonicalCondition = new and the row for Brand = my brand.  
 Due to 
   this behavior, you should not sum up metrics across rows in this 
 report.
   - We're aware that it would be extremely helpful if the *Product 
   Partition Report* included parent criterion ID and we're looking 
   into adding this.
- *Shopping Performance Report* is a *Product-level report* meant 
to show you how ads for your individual products are performing.  This 
report also shows you the various merchant center attributes of each 
product (brand, condition, product type, category 1-5, etc.) but does 
 not 
include the ID of the ad group criterion that triggered each impression.

 In other words, you are correct that reporting alone will not provide 
 you with all of the attributes of your product partitions.  If you need 
 those attributes alongside statistics you'll have to bring in data from 
 AdGroupCriterionService.

 Would it be helpful if the ad group criterion ID was available as a 
 segment field on the *Shopping Performance Report*?  You would still 
 need to use *AdGroupCriterionService* to get all of the partition 
 details, but I think this would bridge the gap from product to partition.

 Thanks,
 Josh, AdWords API Team

Anash,

Thank you for your response. However, the Keyword_Performance_Report

order to get stats broken down by keyword. Any chance you could put that

Anesh,

I just tried HourOfDay in the Criteria Performance report you mentioned. 
It's not there either. Can we get HourOfDay in these reports? If not, how 
can we break down our impressions and clicks by the hour?

the AdGroupCriterionService. We now have to use reporting... 
(http://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/2013/10/adwords-api-how-to-migrate-from-stats.html)


My question is how often can we download this report and expect to see 
updated stats for any given keyword? Using the AdGroupCriterionService, we 
could get updated stats hourly.
But if I have to use the Keyword Performance Report, doesn't that mean I'll 
only see different, updated data once a day? 

And is there a C#.Net example of how to fire off an ad-hoc report? The .Net 
sample code only comes with examples using ReportDefinitionService.

Re: Retrieving product listing ad costs

[road11]

We use that same report to get ours. You should have an ad type in there 
called Product listing ad. Make sure you're not filtering those out in 
your query call.

 Hello,
 I'm hoping to be able to retrieve product listing ad information through 
 the adwords API, much in the same way that we can retrieve the keyword cost 
 information. I found this topic (
 https://groups.google.com/d/msg/adwords-api/RBHMQxndqOA/V9LQfziZaWsJ) 
 which recommended using the AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT but the only data I'm 
 seeing come back through that report are text ad and dynamic search ad. 
 I'm using the following query: SELECT Id, AdType, ClickType, Headline, 
 Description1, Description2, Date, Cost FROM AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT. Is 
 there another way to get that performance information through the API?

 Thanks

Re: INCOMPLETE_SIGNUP error

[road11]

We had the same problem. Basically what it means is Google has updated 
their Terms  Conditions in the Adwords My Client Center UI. You have to 
log in to your UI and accept the terms and conditions before they'll let 
you continue to issue API calls.

 We have used an existing MCC account 439-075-6027. With this account, we

 In the meantime, we applied for test account with the MCC. This MCC

 log in, and extract information:

 Your developer MCCID: 439-075-6027
 Your new test account Customer ID: 432-845-3367

 However, we also get error message INCOMPLETE_SIGNUP. We checked the

 Please advice for we can resolve the issue of INCOMPLETE_SIGNUP?

How to estimate opening bid for PLA Ad Group

[road11]

We're trying to get an estimate of impressions/bids/clicks for brand new 
product listing ad campaigns. We had planned on getting this information 
from the BidLandscape feature of the API, but we're getting no results back 
from the DataService.

The AdGroups we're trying to get BidLandscape points for are our Product 
Listing Ad (PLA) adgroups. Because these are PLA adgroups, they have no 
keywords associated with them. What we've found is when we pass an Adgroup 
ID for a PLA adgroup to the DataService using either getAdGroupBidLandscape 
or getCriterionBidLandscape, the DataService gives us no Landscape points. 

Even when we pass it PLA AdGroup ID that has been in service for a while, 
we still get zero BidLandscape points. We know the C# syntax is correct 
because the service does bring back points when we use a regular Adwords Ad 
Group ID that has some keywords associated with it. But that won't help us 
estimate bids for new PLA adgroups that have a)no history or b)no keywords 
associated with them. 

How can we estimate traffic for new PLA Adgroups? How are any of you doing 
this?

Re: Need example code to set PLA Auto Target for AdGroup

Since no one else has answered, and I've figured it out, I thought I'd post 
my solution here. Hope this helps somebody...

long adGroupID = 123456789;
AdWordsUser user = new AdWordsUser();
AdGroupCriterionService adGroupCriterionService =
   (AdGroupCriterionService)user
   .GetService(AdWordsService.v201302.AdGroupCriterionService);

ProductCondition[] pcs = new ProductCondition[1];
ProductCondition pc = new ProductCondition();
pc.operand = new ProductConditionOperand();
pc.operand.operand = id;
pc.argument = ABC123;
pcs[0] = pc;
 
Product p = new Product();
p.conditions = pcs;

BiddableAdGroupCriterion pgc = new BiddableAdGroupCriterion();
pgc.adGroupId = adGroupID;
pgc.criterion = p;
 
AdGroupCriterionOperation aop = new AdGroupCriterionOperation();
aop.@operator = Operator.ADD;
aop.operand = pgc;
 
AdGroupCriterionOperation[] aops = new AdGroupCriterionOperation[1];
aops[0] = aop;
 
adGroupCriterionService.mutate(aops); //magic happens here

Visual Studio can't find Google Adwords dlls

[road11]

I'm having issues creating a new Visual Studio project and adding Google 
DLLs to it (Google.Adwords.dll, Google.Ads.Common.dll). I create a new 
project, add references to those DLLs, then write my using statements at 
the top of my classes. I even physically copied the DLLs to my bin 
directory and referenced them from there. 

Invariably, I'll namespace Google not found. Are you missing a reference? 
NO, I'm not missing anything! What is it about Google dlls that Visual 
studio can't find? Has anyone solved this issue?

QuotaCheckError.INCOMPLETE_SIGNUP @ ; trigger:'null'

We've had this code in place and working properly for almost a year now. 
All of a sudden, today it chokes on this error (see below). No idea why or 
what trigger:null means. I've checked here in the forums for others who 
have experienced various flavors of this problem. All indicate the problem 
is incomplete data in MCC. Ours has been in place for years without an 
issue, afaik.

Need example code to set PLA Auto Target for AdGroup

[road11]

We've got a PLA campaign with serveral thousand adgroups in it. I need to 
programatically set the Auto Target feature through the API. No idea how 
to do this. The object browser in Visual Studio can't find anything called 
an AutoTarget. I saw that a guy back in 2010 had a similar issue, but I 
can't deduce from his code how this is done, and the Google guy who 
responded said he didn't have any example code for it back then. Hoping 
somebody has some now.

Can somebody please paste some C# (I'd even settle for a Java example at 
this point) of how to set an auto target value on an adgroup?

Thank you, thank you, thank you in advance.

How often is Keyword Performance report data refreshed?

[road11]

We're looking at the Keyword Performance Report to meet our needs for 
synchronization between Google Adwords and our local databases. Ideally, 
we'd like to download this report with fresh positioning data several times 
a day so we can adjust our bids accordingly. So I guess my question is..
 
a) is this even possible? Can we download this report multiple times a day 
and expect updated data each time?
 
b) would I need to put a time-of-day indicator in the code when I use the 
daterange object in C#?
 
c) I notice that if I ask for the Month, Day, or DayofWeek in the selector 
fields, it prevents zero-impression rows from being shown. If I omit these 
from the selector list, yet still apply a date range of any single day to 
the coded request, can I still see my zero-impression rows? 
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Eric

 Eric,

 Take a look at the specific fields you are retrieving. Certain fields will 
 prevent zero impression rows from showing up in reports.

 One way to get around this would be to pull all of those fields in one 
 report, then pull all the fields that do not prevent zero-impression rows 
 in another report, then just join them.

 The fields which prevent zero-impression rows have Prevents 
 zero-impression rows from being returned. in the Notes column of the 
 tables on this page:

 Hope this helps!

Ad Performance Report missing some Enabled Ads

[road11]

With the Adwords API (v201209 .Net), I'm doing two things...

   - bringing down all of our Campaigns, AdGroups, and Ads
   - bringing down our Ad Performance Report (include zero impressions = 
   true)

I'm putting all these into a SQL Server database with classic third normal 
form. However, I'm finding something missing...
 
When I compare the Ads brought down by the API, I compare them to the Ads 
in the Ad Performance. I'm finding that I've got some 85 ads the API says 
are ENABLED, with an AdGroup whose status is ENABLED, in a Campaign whose 
status is ACTIVE, yet those AdIds don't appear in the Ad Performance 
Report. They're missing. 
 
I'm definitely including a predicate in the report saying I want ENABLED 
ads. I can even go to the UI and find that they're definitely enabled. They 
have zero impressions, but I'm telling the Ad Performance Report to include 
those anyway, yet it's missing several. 
 
Any idea why?

Unable to Delete a Budget in code

[road11]

I see that you must first add a budget before you can add a campaign (as 
per the C# sample code v201209). That works ok. However, I can't seem to 
delete a budget once I've added it. 
 
I just created a budget in my sandbox just before creating a campaign (a la 
AdCampaign.cs). This budget is attached to this campaign only. I deleted 
the campaign, and then tried to delete the budget. I don't get an error on 
the mutate operation, but it doesn't delete the budget either. The deleted 
budget status always comes back ACTIVE. 
 
I use code similar to that from which I deleted the campaign. This budget 
is attached only to this one campaign. If the campaign is deleted, how is 
it possible for the budget to still be ACTIVE and IN_USE?...
 

public void DeleteBudget(AdWordsUser user, int budgetID)
{
Console.WriteLine(Delete budget entered...);
BudgetService bs = (BudgetService)user
.GetService(AdWordsService.v201209.BudgetService);
Budget budget = new Budget();
budget.budgetId = budgetID;
budget.status = BudgetBudgetStatus.DELETED;
BudgetOperation bop = new BudgetOperation();
bop.operand = budget;
bop.@operator = Operator.SET; //Operator.REMOVE gives an error
BudgetOperation[] bops = new BudgetOperation[1];
bops[0] = bop;
try
{
BudgetReturnValue retVal =
bs.mutate(bops);
Budget deletedBudget = retVal.value[0];
Console.WriteLine(deletedBudget.status); //always comes back ACTIVE
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
if (ex.InnerException != null)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.InnerException.Message);
}
}
}

 

...btw, I tried the Operator.REMOVE which gives me an error saying it is in use.

 

Thanks,

 

Eric

Re: Adstate column showing disabled when it shouldn't be

[road11]

Seriously? I can't track when my ads were enabled and when they weren't? I 
think I speak for everybody when I say that sucks in a big way. What can we 
do to get that very serious shortcoming fixed? 
 
Sorry, but that's such a ridiculous feature that we all thought it had to 
be a bug. Where do we need to go to put in a feature request to get this 
fixed?

Re: Adstate column showing disabled when it shouldn't be

[road11]

Do we at least know which fields in the Ad Performance Report are 
structural data (and, hence, cannot be relied upon to be accurate over 
time), and which ones aren't? 
 
Sorry, but I'm just baffled how this API is so poorly documented. I 
expected way more from a company like Google.

Re: How to get ClickType, Device Stats using get service of AdGroupService

[road11]

Not sure it's possible using the AdGroupService. As I look through the API 
doces (*
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201109_1/AdGroupService
*https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201109_1/AdGroupService),
 
I don't see any place where those data items are selectable. I haven't been 
working with this API for a long time, but what I've seen is if you want 
metrics that get down to a granular level like that, you pretty much have 
to use AdHocs. But I could be wrong (somebody correct me if I am).

Re: How to download named report C#

[road11]

Thank you, Dorian. No, I didn't know that. I've been slinging Microsoft 
code for nearly 20 years, but still relatively new to the Adwords API with 
.Net. So I have to create an ad-hoc report with C# and then I can call it 
by it's id? Might you know of some C# examples where I can see where you do 
this?

Thanks in advance for your kind response.

 You probably know this, but if the reports were originally defined in the
