Re: CampaignPage results
Hi Chris, The AdWords UI and AdWords API should match. I am not familiar with which statistics are displayed in Google Analytics however, and there may be reasons why the numbers differ there.

Re: CampaignPage results
Thanks for your time and effort. I setup the application to pull a KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT and a CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT and in each instance the value [TotalConvValue] was that same as originally return in the API call. So everything via the API is matching up regardless of what means I used to get the data (which is good). Just not sure how Google gets that value they are displaying on on the Analytics..AdWords UI and why it is less than what the API is reporting. At this point I am going to tell the client that the numbers I am reporting are more accurate while I try and get someone at google to enlighten me. Thanks again for your help. Chris.

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. But if you only have Sales conversions, then thta would not be a factor. So, try pulling a keyword performance report, look at the numbers, and report back on what you find. hope this helps, -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: CampaignPage results
I am currently getting the values from AdWordsService.v201109.CampaignService and while the number of conversions match API, Analytics UI and Adwords UI. The conversion value is different between the Analyics and Adwords (API reports Adwords value [by multiplying entry.campaignStats.conversions * entry.campaignStats.valuePerConv]. Not sure why there is a difference. On Jan 6, 6:15 pm, Reed wrote: > If you get the value via the reporting API (Keyword Performance > Report, etc), does it match the UI for the same time period?

Re: CampaignPage results
If you get the value via the reporting API (Keyword Performance Report, etc), does it match the UI for the same time period? Do the number of conversions match? -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: CampaignPage results
Follow up to the question. If I check the sales through Analytics - >AdWords -> Campaigns I see there are 22 sales for ~$750 dollars when I check the values through My Client Center -> Reports -> Conversions it reports 36 sales and a value ~$1250, When I call through the API ((CampaignService)user.GetService(AdWordsService.v201109.CampaignService);) I get 23 sales but the dollar amount when calculated as entry.campaignStats.conversions * entry.campaignStats.valuePerConv equals the amount reported by the MCC Conversion report(~$1250) I am not sure which is correct. I think the first is correct but I cannot figure out how to get to that number though the API.
