Re: db migration, are accents now ignored for spanish terms
Eric, I have to urge a reconsideration of ignoring accents, this is really undermining the usefulness of the api and what is more, of google SE itself. Accents are part of most languages which have a roman characterset, they convey meaning and in some cases the presence of accents might indicate a completely different meaning. Targeting your advertisement starts with the keywords, imo you should leave the keywords alone. I think this move will not remain without consequences, if google thinks that languages have accents for no particular reason and chooses to ignore them it will raise awareness of language conservation groups all over the world and it will be considered a nuisance by everyone who now have to type their accented keywords with a plus sign or quotation marks just to ensure that google will not mess it up. A trivial example is røge which means smoke in Danish, in the new google SE interface I get everything BUT røge and instead end up with french cousin rogé, even a Russian one, simply because my browser is French, if I type røge I mean røge ! Of all this doesn't explain why your non-roman character domains show significantly lower results, this imo undermines using google #SERP/SV as a reference. -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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: db migration, are accents now ignored for spanish terms
Thanks Eric, did they tell you why because accented terms in French, Portuguese, Spanish ARE searched. This behavior applies to what roman character languages exactly and/or to what accents ? For instance German seems to be ok with the umlaut (ü,ö etc.) but ç with French is ignored, how did they decide what accents to include and what not ? Does the development team expect foreign advertisers to ignore accents and misspell their content (I assume not) or is it a catch-all solution where accented and non-accented results are added ? This means that accented terms for these particular languages/accents are ignored also in the SERP's ? I think it undermines the fidelity of the results since it is unknown to what extent the results come from the accented terms and to what extent it comes from the non-accented terms, furthermore the accents are ignored with the advent of idn's where exact searches on accented terms might be relevant for indexing.

Re: db migration, are accents now ignored for spanish terms
The old keyword tool was supposed to have been shut down last month, but it is still running. For how long? Please keep it running forever... But, does it still get feed with updated data? Why this move? You really wanted to avoid people using the tool to search for unique keywords stats didn't you? That's what the paid Adwords API is for, right? ;) On Sep 24, 9:38 am, bramiozo brami...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks Eric, did they tell you why because accented terms in French, Portuguese, Spanish ARE searched. This behavior applies to what roman character languages exactly and/or to what accents ? For instance German seems to be ok with the umlaut (ü,ö etc.) but ç with French is ignored, how did they decide what accents to include and what not ? Does the development team expect foreign advertisers to ignore accents and misspell their content (I assume not) or is it a catch-all solution where accented and non-accented results are added ?
