Hi,
Regarding adding the placements, you do *not* need to specify an id
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/AdGroupCriterionService.Placement#id>
when
performing the *ADD* operation - AdWords will assign the ID as part of the
operation. The *id* is only required when performing a *SET* or a *REMOVE*.
In other words, to exclude a placement at the *Campaign* level, you'd
create a NegativeCampaignCriterion
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/CampaignCriterionService.NegativeCampaignCriterion>
with:
- campaignId = your campaign ID
- criterion = Placement with:
- url = the URL to exclude
Note that you can also exclude placements at the *AdGroup* level -- just
*ADD* a NegativeAdGroupCriterion
<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/AdGroupCriterionService.NegativeAdGroupCriterion>
instead
of a *NegativeCampaignCriterion*.
Cheers,
Josh, AdWords API Team
