Re: negative listing_group unit criterion with clicks, impressions etc., how is that possible?

[Konstantin Tarassow]

Thanks for you answer!


"Also note that ad_group_criterion.negative doesn't mean the negative 
metrics"
This is what I don't understand. How can a negative criterion (which is 
meant to exclude targeting) have traffic and costs?

Hello, I replied private to the author with the requested UI screenshot 
which also shows statistics and costs on negative criteria.

Negative listing_group UNIT criterion with clicks, impressions etc., how is that possible?

[Konstantin Tarassow]

Hello,

we have a client for whom we get some strange data from the API
which we cannot  explain.
We fetch metrics from the product_group_view and there (among other things 
that seem OK to us) we get for at least 1 criterion some clicks and 
impressions
but that criterion in question (UNIT listing group criterion) is a negative 
one.

How can a negative criterion have statistics assigned to it?
