Please reply to this post or directly to my email. We've just upgrade to the latest API version (v201109) and are having an issue that is adversely affecting campaign performance. We’ve noticed that if one keyword/match type exists in multiple adgroups, changing the destinationURL for the keyword in one adgroup will reset the same named keyword/match type across all adgroups. This is affecting our clients in a negative way since now we can no longer track performance of a keyword present in multiple adgroups.
Here’s the soap trace for v201008 (only changes the destinationURL for a single adgroup): -----------------BEGIN API CALL--------------------- Request ------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";><!--POST /api/adwords/cm/ v201008/AdGroupCriterionService User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; MS Web Services Client Protocol 4.0.30319.239) VsDebuggerCausalityData: uIDPo7MAIhDtSJBLq7rf9/XSQE4AAAAAxbsBsoLc/ UqM2MkMO4lAHPAMwbXQmhZKk7rKPE48VGUACQAA Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 SOAPAction: "" Host: adwords.google.com Content-Length: 2086 Connection: Keep-Alive TimeStamp: Fri, 17 Feb 2012 12:03:23 GMT --><soap:Header><RequestHeader xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/ adwords/cm/v201008"><authToken xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/ adwords/cm/v201008">******</authToken><developerToken xmlns="https:// adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201008">******</ developerToken><userAgent xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/ adwords/cm/v201008">AwApi-DotNet-0.0.0|webmetro</userAgent></ RequestHeader></soap:Header><soap:Body><mutate xmlns="https:// adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201008"><operations><operator>SET</ operator><Operation.Type>BiddableAdGroupCriterion</ Operation.Type><operand xsi:type="BiddableAdGroupCriterion"><adGroupId>2449241057</ adGroupId><criterion xsi:type="Keyword"><id>114041230</ id><Criterion.Type>Keyword</Criterion.Type><text>mikasa</ text><matchType>PHRASE</matchType></ criterion><AdGroupCriterion.Type>BiddableAdGroupCriterion</ AdGroupCriterion.Type><userStatus>ACTIVE</ userStatus><destinationUrl>http://tracking.dsmmadvantage.com/redirect/ redirect.aspx?
