Re: v201109 Criteria performance report - automatic placements data?
Hi Reed, The behavior you described is as designed. The goal of the CRITERIA report was to have one report that included data from keywords, placements, etc. It segments the data by the criterion that triggered the impression, so you can determine how well your criteria are performing. The domains and URLs that your ads were shown on is not always the same as the criteria that triggered it; remember, there are many criteria types that trigger automatic placements (verticals, audiences, etc) beyond contextual keyword matching and placements. Although automatic placements seem similar to placement criteria, they are more accurately the effect of other criteria, and not a criterion on their own. What this means is that determining the "Other" row data will still require some math. However, having all the criteria data in one report should make that process simpler.

v201109 Criteria performance report - automatic placements data?
I just pulled a criteria performance report for a client with automatic placements. It appears that automatic placements data is not broken out in this report as had been expected (after all, that was one of the big deficiencies in the previous version of the reporting system). In fact, it looks a lot like V13 - everything is rolled into a keyword called "content" with and Id of "300" and is given a criteriatype of "keyword". I looked at data for yesterday, where everything is still in the "Other domains" bucket on the UI, and there is a single row as described above with the data shown in the UI for "other domains". I then tried for 2 days ago, since on the UI some of its "other domains" data has begun to move to specific domains, and there is still only a single "content" data line which represents all of the automatic placement data. I tried a different account that has managed placements, and each of the managed placements shows up in the criteria performance report as an individual line with "placement" for the criteriatype. Does this mean that we are still going to have to piecemeal reports together just to get all of the data in one place, and will still have to do the automatic placements "magic" each day to figure out what data has moved out of "other domains" and into specific domains? I had thought that this new criteria report was supposed to have the detail data for everything in one place. Have not yet tried pulling for an account that has remarketing data. thanks, -reed -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.
