Re: Can I modify the target URL of an ad programmatically?

2014-05-02 Thread charles 
To confirm, you want to use the *same display URL* on each ad, but you want 
to *test different destination URLs*?

Perhaps you could create one ad for each hard-coded product URL, and keep 
all ad attributes identical except for the destination URL.

When product 1 sells out you should then be able to pause the ad with that 
corresponding destination URL so no more traffic is sent.

If all you want to do is test different destination URLs for a single 
product then you could probably just set up an experiment for one ad with 
different destination URLs. Of course if you sell out of the product in 
this case you would want to pause all of the ads :)

Hi,

It appears you're correct; ads are indeed immutable. I'm sorry for the 
misinformation. I'm going to try to improve the documentation in the WSDL 
so that I (and hopefully others) don't make the same mistake again.

Regards,
Mike, AdWords API Advisor

Is this behavior new?
Previously (for >8 years) you could only update the ad status, and this is 
also mentioned in the docs.

To achieve the behavior, you should delete the ad, and create a similar ad 
with the new destination URL. Note that you loose the statistics of the 
original ad - so if we can now update other attributes of ads I'd like to 
know!

Hi Dmitri,

Yes, you can modify the URL target of ads programmatically. Take a look at 
TextAdin
 our documentation. You can modify these using a SET operation setting 
the specific ad you want in the 
AdGroupAdService
.

Mike, AdWords API Advisor

Can I modify the target URL of an ad programmatically?

2014-04-14 Thread Dmitri Pisarenko 
Hello,

Imagine, I have a shop at http://myshop.com.

Every item has its own page:

1) http://myshop.com/product-1
2) http://myshop.com/product-2

I have a Google AdWords ad with display URL http://myshop.com/ .

AFAIK, the real URL can be any URL on the domain myshop.com, which means 
that I can direct the user to

1) http://myshop.com/ ,
2) http://myshop.com/product-1 and
3) http://myshop.com/product-2 .

I want to run an experiment and find out, whether people buy more when 
after the click they see all products ( http://myshop.com/ ) or one 
particular product (e. g. http://myshop.com/product-1 ).

Therefore, I want to create a program, which

1) Has a hard-coded list of product URLs ( http://myshop.com/product-1 , 
http://myshop.com/product-2 ).

2) At the beginning, the target URL of the ad is 
http://myshop.com/product-1 .

3) The program looks in regular intervals, which products are sold.

4) When it notices that http://myshop.com/product-1 has been sold, it 
modifies the ad so that now it points to http://myshop.com/product-2 .

Question: Is it possible with Google AdWords API to change the target URL 
of an existing ad?

Thanks

Dmitri
