AdWords API updateAds() Inquiry.

2008-11-10 Thread positus
As it is well known, updateAds() currently only supports the alteration of the status of an ad. It would be most useful to retain the same functionality of the Google AdWords GUI via the API. In other words, instead of having to delete the ad, and then recreate it (thus losing the CTR and other

AdWords API Are AOL Marketplace reports supported?

2008-11-10 Thread doug s
When I use an AOL Marketplace account to try to get a daily keyword report, I get this error: "You must supply an MCC login to perform the current operation." The account manager says there is no concept of MCCs for AOL Marketplace. Does this mean that the Adwords API does not support rep

Hello Lars, I don't know of any specific limitation regarding proximity targets and Germany. What I'd suggest doing is using the AdWords web interface to check to make sure that your campaign geo-targeting options are set up as you intend them to be. If you create a geo-target via the AdWords

Hello, As Tino points out, the cost in API units is identical regardless of the batch size you use for your addCriteria() calls. So that's not a consideration. Here are a couple of things to keep in mind when deciding how to batch up your criteria: - You need to either call checkCriteria() in

Ardyk: You can use the AdWords editor to do bulk "cut and paste" imports of campaigns, ad groups, keywords (including negative keywords), and ad texts. There are some features it does not support (position preference and time-of-day management, for example). It is much less cumbersome than manual

AdWords API Re: Structure report delivers duplicates

Hi Materie, I know there is an issue in the account structure report such that each keyword gets reported multiple times for every change in the campaign budget. So, for example, in a campaign where the budget has been changed five times, each keyword would be reported five times. The API team

AdWords API GeoTarget proximity target doesn't work

2008-11-10 Thread Lars Bürger
Hi there, I have a little problem with the geo targeting of the adwords api. It seems, that the proximity for my target city gives the same results as without this geo target. I don't think, that this makes sense. If I put the geo target to the city itself I get different results, but I need a ci

Unfortunately your calculations are not correct: API costs for an addCriteria-call in CriterionService are 20 per item , not per call! So adding 10.000 keywords, will cost you 10.000 * 20 API units, regardless in how many calls you split the request. Though batch-requests are very useful in
