ClickType selector in AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
Hi, My understanding is that when asking for AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT with ClickType selector, number of impressions in records with clickType='Headline' should reflect number of impressions in records for sitelinks, product extensions, etc... as headline should be present every time the ad is served. However, for one particular client (554-247-5626) when running AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT report with ClickType selector, we get number of impressions for clickType='Phone calls' records that are greater than for records with clickType='Headline': Here is the report definition we use: https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201302";> AdGroupId AdNetworkType1 AveragePosition CampaignId Clicks ClickType Cost Date Id Impressions KeywordId CampaignId IN 144518227 20130624 20130624 Custom AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT CUSTOM_DATE GZIPPED_XML Thank you, --Alex -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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: ClickType selector in AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
Hi Alex, As far as API concerns the numbers match with what the UI says, unfortunately I don't have you a good answer on why the call impressions are greater than headline. I recommend you checking with the general product support folks I bet they will have you a better answer.

Re: ClickType selector in AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
Hi David, Thanks for your reply! However, I definitely do not see how impressions returned by API are matching UI impressions :( I am going to concentrate on just one single ad (adID='22305789667'). If I check this ad in the AdWords UI, I can see that on June 24th it generated 693 impressions total. If I pull report (using above report definition), I am getting following records (totaling 694 impressions) for that ad: Obviously, UI 693 impressions != API 694 impressions. I understand that this kind of discrepancy should be expected as API docs states it "Since ads can serve with multiple click types displayed, impressions may be double counted and the totals may not be accurate.". My understanding, that in order to get the "true" number of impressions (693 as in UI) for this ad we should sum "Headline" impressions only, but there are 2 "Headline" impressions! For all our clients/campaigns we've been always counting "Headline" impressions only and our numbers have been always in perfect sync with AdWords UI. It's just this particular client is giving us trouble. Thus, please let me know if my concept/understanding of counting "Headline" impressions is incorrect, because if it's correct - as far as I concern you guys have API problem...

Re: ClickType selector in AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT
Hi Alex, Could you try running the API report once more and check if it matches the UI now? If it doesn't, I'll investigate this more.

Hi Anash and David, My apologies...
