Hi Joe, The taxonomy you are referring is more than a year old and is most likely deprecated. Please see this document for the current list of products and services category codes. You can r

Hi Jonathan, The link for Merchant Center is still here and has not changed. What has changed is that the bidding categories returned by ConstantDataService.getProductBiddingCategoryData

Re: Google Product Taxonomy vs Product Bidding Category

Hi, We've investigated this thoroughly on our side and realize that the inconsistencies make GPC-based bidding very difficult. We are looking into possible work-arounds -- I'll post back soon with our progress. Thanks, Josh, AdWords API Team On Monday, August 25, 2014 3:24:47 PM UTC-4, HK wrot
