Re: Mobile target bid updates in API v201302 don't reflect in Adwords UI (java)

2013-04-08 Thread Julian Khandros 
Thanks Oliver (and everyone else) for replying.  Our code wasn't using 
Conversion Optimizer strategy in that example, but somehow today the exact 
same code is working as expected.  We can see mobile bid adjustments now 
reflected in the Adwords UI after the API call.  Hopefully it will stay 
that way :)

Much obliged.

 This is an exception I came across which is very poorly documented in the 
 Enhanced Campaigns guide.  Check this page:

 http://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2471188?hl=en

 There is a line that says:

 At this time, the following AdWords features aren't compatible with 
 Conversion Optimizer:
 All types of bid adjustments, except mobile device bid adjustments of 
 -100%.

  :

 // Create mobile platform. The ID can be found in the documentation.

 Platform mobile = new Platform();
 mobile.setId(30001L);

 // Create criterion with bid modifier.
 CampaignCriterion criterion = new CampaignCriterion();
 criterion.setCampaignId(campaignId);
 criterion.setCriterion(mobile);
 criterion.setBidModifier(1.2); // 120%, or 20% more.

 // Create SET operation.
 CampaignCriterionOperation operation = new CampaignCriterionOperation();
 operation.setOperator(Operator.SET);
 operation.setOperand(criterion);

 // Update campaign criteria.
 CampaignCriterionReturnValue result = campaignCriterionService.mutate(new 
 CampaignCriterionOperation[] { operation });

 The SOAP request  response look correct - I see the correctly-populated 
 bidModifier element and so on. However, when I subsequently view the 
 campaign's device settings in the AdWords UI (i.e. in the browser at 
 https://adwords.google.com/cm/CampaignMgmt?...) the Mobile devices with 
 full browsers Bid adj. column is set to --.  This is the case whether I 
 pass a bidModifier of 0.0 or 1.2 (for example).

 Does anyone know why this might be?  I can't think of any conflicting or 
 overriding campaign settings that might come into play.

 Thanks in advance,
 Pete

Hi, 

I am able to update the mobile bid adjustment using the Java library.
Can you share the request and response xmls? (Please remove the sensitive 
information such as authToken, developerToken)

Best,
- Takeshi
