Re: Relationship Object Model for AdGroups to Ads and Keywords

2014-04-18 Thread Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team) 
Hi,

The AdGroupCriterion ID refers to the ID of the criterion attribute of 
AdGroupCriterion,
 
which could be a Keyword but could also be other types of 
Criterion
 (the 
criterion of an AdGroupCriterion is not just limited to Keyword objects).

The reporting approach you mentioned will work, although it will only give 
you back criterion of type Keyword.  If you want to get back all types of 
criterion then use the Criteria Performance 
Report
 instead. 
 Also, note that the relationship between keyword and ad within an ad group 
is a many-to-many relationship.  An ad group can have many keywords and can 
also have many ads.

Thanks,
Josh, AdWords API Team

Looking at  
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/working-with-objects#understanding-objects
 
I see that the AdGroupCriterion ID is not unique. Is the KeywordId 
considered AdGroupCriterion ID, or is it seperate?

I am now thinking that I can run a Keyword Performance Report and then an 
Ad Performance Report for the same AdGroup, and that will let me map 
keywords-to-ads. Please tell me if that makes sense.


Thanks.

Re: Relationship Object Model for AdGroups to Ads and Keywords

Hi,

Our Working with Objects 
guide
 describes 
the relationship between Campaigns, AdGroups, Ads, Criteria, etc., but a 
keyword and an ad are not linked together directly.  Instead, an ad is part 
of an ad group that also has a collection of keywords (or other criteria).

I recommend reading through the following AdWords Help Center articles that 
go over account structure:

   - https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/1704396
   - https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/1704395
   
Regarding multiple TextAds with the same ID but different attributes, were 
those ads in the same ad group?  Per the table 
here,
 
ad ID is only unique within an ad group.

Cheers,
Josh, AdWords API Team

Relationship Object Model for AdGroups to Ads and Keywords

2014-04-17 Thread apiapi 
Using v201402 of the API with the .NET wrapper.

I retrieved an AdGroupId from a campaign. I retrieved 6001 AdGroupCriterion 
objects and 5398 AdGroupAd objects for the AdGroupId. 

1.
In more than one instance, there are TextAd objects with the same id but 
different description1 and description2 properties.
How can I tell the items apart for reporting purposes?

2.
How can I determine the relationship of keyword ids to ad ids?


Thanks.
