Ad Performance report does not work properly

2013-07-15 Thread Federico J. Sutin Citterio
Dear AdWord's Developers,

Aiming to achieve api compliance. We have to add new fields in our report 
definition (which we use to make the request). But the new response does 
not match the platform.

I have added three fields: Device (R.244), Ad Network (R.242) and ClickType 
(R.246).

When I add Click Type to the report definition, I get more clicks than the 
platform. Then I find this:

"Since ads can serve with multiple click types displayed, impressions may 
be double counted and the totals may not be accurate." source: 
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports#ad

However, if I withdraw Click Type and keep Device and Ad Network  I get 
less impressions than the platform. 

I am wondering if I am doing something wrong or if this is just an error.

I have added the new request below.



AdGroupId
CampaignId
Id
KeywordId
Clicks
Impressions
Cost
AverageCpc
AverageCpm
AveragePosition
Ctr
Conversions
CostPerConversion
ConversionRate
Device
AdNetworkType1
ClickType

{min.date}
{max.date}


Custom Ads Stats Report
AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
CUSTOM_DATE
GZIPPED_XML


Regards

Hi Federico,

I'm not sure I'm following your question, could you expand on it? 

To enforce your findings, it is true that the clickType columns causes a 
segmentation that makes your report totals not match due to the possible 
double counting.

Best,
