Re: Ads with non-zero impressions not entering enabled state with daily segmentation in AdPerformanceReport

2018-04-10 Thread 'Bharani Cherukuri (AdWords API Team)' via AdWords API Forum 
Hi Felix, 

The Status 

 field 
in the Ad Performance Report is of the type Attribute 

 which 
will return the current state state of the account, ignoring the timespan 
of the report. So pulling the API report to retrieve status based on date, 
will return the current status of the Ad. 

Let me know if you have any additonal questions.

Regards,
Bharani, AdWords API Team

Re: Ads with non-zero impressions not entering enabled state with daily segmentation in AdPerformanceReport

2018-04-10 Thread Felix 
Hi Bharani,

I think I have intepreted the field "Status" of an ad incorrectly, because 
it is an attribute and just shows the most recent status of an ad - 
regardless of the segementation. 
Thus, I'm not able to see the time intervals when specific ads have been 
enabled, paused or disabled.

Is there still a way to retrieve the status of an ad based on the date or 
do I have to receive this info indirectly by intepreting the metrics?

- Felix

Re: Ads with non-zero impressions not entering enabled state with daily segmentation in AdPerformanceReport

2018-04-09 Thread 'Bharani Cherukuri (AdWords API Team)' via AdWords API Forum 
Hello Felix, 

Are you using AdWords API to generate these reports? The Ad Performance 
Report will generate stats at the ad level with one row per ad. Could you 
provide us the AdId and the AdGroup Id for the specific Ad that you're 
referring to for your experiment? If the specific Ad is not 
paused/enabled/disabled in the AdWords UI, the same status will be returned 
in the API reports. 

It is not possible to enable or disable ads based on the impressions, 
clicks or conversions count through the report stats. If your concern is 
different, could you elaborate the specific results you're looking for and 
share with us the complete report definition, so I can take a closer look? 
Please use *Reply privately to author* option to provide the details. 

Thanks,
Bharani, AdWords API Team

Ads with non-zero impressions not entering enabled state with daily segmentation in AdPerformanceReport

2018-04-09 Thread Felix 

Hi,

I've extracted two times the *AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT*, the 1) with *no* 
segmentation and the 2) with segmentation by date. 

Report 1) shall give aggregated metrics about ads over all time whereas 
report 2) is used to analyze trends and especially the active time 
(status=enabled) of each ad.

It's surprising that when executing a left outer join from 1) to 2) on the 
ad_id that in roughly 50% of the cases an individual ad didn't enter an 
enabled state on any day in report 2).
If all ad states are considered (disabled/enabled/paused) the join performs 
as expected.

Note that there isn't a correlation between the impressions, clicks or 
conversions of an ad and if it is successfully joined or not. 
In other words, although an ad isn't found with state=enabled in report 2) 
it doesn't mean that it has only very low to zero metrics - which is in my 
view confusing since an ad with a considerable amount of impressions must 
have been enabled at some point of time.

I'm considering for this experiment only 
AdNetworkType1=AdNetworkType2=SEARCH and AdType in [EXPANDED?_TEXT_AD, 
EXPANDED?_DYNAMIC_SEARCH_AD] and a few mio ads.

I've extracted report 2) only with the fields ad_id, ad_group_id, ad_state, 
date and have the feeling that I'm not receiving all rows which I expected 
to receive. Am I the first one experiencing this behavior? 

Best,
Felix
