Using sitelinks in multiple campaigns

[gai-test-1]

Hello,

I have a question: Can legacy sitelinks be part of various campaigns or is 
this only possible when using enhanced campaigns?

Obviously this is possible for upgraded sitelinks anyway. So far we change 
the original sitelink URl to transport the information
which campaign is affected. Is there any generic mechanism that can be used 
to retrieve the affected campaign dynamically
when someone clicks a link used for multiple campaings, e.g. like using 
value track parameters?

Thank you for answering!

Andreas B.

Does Keyword Performance Report contain statistics of upgraded sitelinks?

[gai-test-1]

Hello,

does the Keyword Performance Report also contain keyfigures of upgraded 
sitelinks? Or do we need to query the Placeholder Feed Item Performance 
Report for keyfigures of upgraded sitelinks?

Thank you :-)

Re: Retrieve and modify upgraded sitelinks with adwords api

[gai-test-1]

Could it be that AdGroupFeedService.get(selector) is a beta feature? We get 
a beta error while trying to use it... when will it be accessible for 
normal usage?

Re: Retrieve and modify upgraded sitelinks with adwords api

[gai-test-1]

FYI:

The campaign's matching function does already contain the feedItemIds 
(rhsOperator), so you can easily retrieve them. 
 
:-)

Re: Retrieve and modify upgraded sitelinks with adwords api

[gai-test-1]

We had some success. First we use FeedMappingService (without predicates) 
and if placeholdertype==1 we use FeedItemService and then we get every 
sitelinks with their attributes (like url and name) for every campaign.
With CampaignFeedService we are able to retrieve all campaigns and their 
matching functions. There we select the campaign we want to have.

Now we'd like to know if we have FeedItems which belong to this campaign. 
We guess that this can be achieved by using the matching function, like 
james said - only that the usage is not very easy to understand.

But so far everything james metioned was correct, so thank you very much! 
We will now try to use the matchingFunction. We saw some examples, but they 
did not help much :-) If anybody has already tried this out, a snippet 
would be great :-)

We tried without predicate too, but the result is still null - please help

Re: Retrieve and modify upgraded sitelinks with adwords api

[gai-test-1]

Hello, I tried to implement it like you said. Requesting AttributeValues is 
only for testing, we just want to test that we can request Sitelinks in 
general. The campaign we use for testing has for sure upgraded sitelinks. 
Unfortunately, every time we start the request, the result is null 
(feedItems.getEntries). We tried with FeedMappingService too.

We assume that maybe the FeedItemId is not the CampaignId, which we use for 
requesting. But which field represents the campaign id? Or isn't it 
possible to request the sitelinks by campaignId?

It would be very nice if you could give us a hint. We also tried to use an 
"empty selector", but we always got error messages that a selector was 
required or should contain fields, etc...
Here is the code:

FeedItemServiceInterface feedItemService = 
adSession.getService(AdWordsService.V201302.FEED_ITEM_SERVICE);
Selector selector = new Selector();
selector.setFields(new String[]
{
"AttributeValues"
//"AttributeValues", "DevicePreference", "EndTime", "FeedId", "FeedItemId", 
"Scheduling", "StartTime", "Status", "ValidationDetails"
});
final Predicate predicate = new Predicate("FeedItemId",
PredicateOperator.IN,
new String[]
{
campaignId.toString()
});
selector.setPredicates(new Predicate[]
{
predicate
});
 FeedItemPage feedItems = feedItemService.get(selector);
Thank you very much!!!

Re: Retrieve and modify upgraded sitelinks with adwords api

[gai-test-1]

Hello james!

That sounds good!! I had a very different understanding of it - I thought, 
the CampaignFeedService was used for retrieving and modifying sitelinks on 
Campaign level and the AdGroupFeedService for retrieving and modifying 
sitelinks on adgroup level and I was starting to implement it. 

But I will now start to implement it how you tell it - it would be so great 
if this would work!! :-)
Lets keep each other up to date about the progress while implementing it, 
maybe we can inform each other if it really works!

Greetings and good luck too

 That is exactly what I meant. The guide was really easy to find, but it 
 did not help me to understand how to *retrieve and modify* sitelinks. Some 
 small advice, maybe just in words - which Services do we need to use in 
 which order - that would be so great and help so much, please!

 I am also confused by all the services - I dont really understand the 
 differences between for example AdGroupFeedService an CampaignFeedService 
 - 
 can both be used for sitelinks?

 Thank you.

 Hello,

 we use Adwords API 201302 and we are wondering how to retrieve and 
 modify upgraded sitelinks with the new FeedServices.

 If we have a campaignId, how can we get all the Sitelinks for this 
 campaignId including some more information like e.g. destinationUrl, 
 displayText, campaignName, extensionId and sitelinksIndex.
 Shall we use the CampaignFeedService for this? (I read something 
 about AdGroupFeedService too, but I believe sitelinks are retrieved 
 with 
 CampaignFeedService?)

 And how can we then modify the sitelink with the API? 
 Using CampaignFeedService.mutate? Or do we need to remove the old 
 sitelink 
 and to add the new one? (Before, we used CampaignAdExtensionService...)

 Is there any example of it? We only found examples for adding new 
 sitelinks. Do we need to make any more calls (with other Services) to 
 achieve what we want to do? Like creating first a FeedService and a 
 FeedItemService - some of the examples used them before adding new 
 sitelinks, but we don't know if we need it for already existing 
 sitelinks 
 which we just want to modify...

 An answer would be great, thank you!

Re: Retrieve and modify upgraded sitelinks with adwords api

[gai-test-1]

That is exactly what I meant. The guide was really easy to find, but it did 
not help me to understand how to *retrieve and modify* sitelinks. Some 
small advice, maybe just in words - which Services do we need to use in 
which order - that would be so great and help so much, please!

I am also confused by all the services - I dont really understand the 
differences between for example AdGroupFeedService an CampaignFeedService - 
can both be used for sitelinks?

Thank you.

Edit: I found this posting 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/adwords-api/RS4XA7A6ixw - Im not 
sure if we mean the same thing, but as far as I understand they are only 
talking of FeedItemService... maybe this is the service we need? I am not 
sure ...

Retrieve and modify upgraded sitelinks with adwords api

[gai-test-1]

Hello,

we use Adwords API 201302 and we are wondering how to retrieve and modify 
upgraded sitelinks with the new FeedServices.

If we have a campaignId, how can we get all the Sitelinks for this 
campaignId including some more information like e.g. destinationUrl, 
displayText, campaignName, extensionId and sitelinksIndex.
Shall we use the CampaignFeedService for this? (I read something about 
AdGroupFeedService too, but I believe sitelinks are retrieved with 
CampaignFeedService?)

And how can we then modify the sitelink with the API? 
Using CampaignFeedService.mutate? Or do we need to remove the old sitelink 
and to add the new one? (Before, we used CampaignAdExtensionService...)

Is there any example of it? We only found examples for adding new 
sitelinks. Do we need to make any more calls (with other Services) to 
achieve what we want to do? Like creating first a FeedService and a 
FeedItemService - some of the examples used them before adding new 
sitelinks, but we don't know if we need it for already existing sitelinks 
which we just want to modify...

An answer would be great, thank you!

Re: Sitelinks are not displayed in Adwords Editor, only in Web Interface (enhanced campaigns)

[gai-test-1]

Hello Anash,

you are correct - I posted the question 
at https://www.en.adwords-community.com too and they told me exactly what 
you tell me now - we did not know that it is possible to upgrade sitelinks. 
We thought it was only possible to upgrade a campaign to an enhanced 
campaign and that after it all extensions (and ads and keywords and...) in 
the campaign would be "upgraded" too. We did not know that there was an 
extra mechanism. So, we will work on a solution by retrieving the new 
stelinks with the FeedServices.
Thank you very much for your help!

Greetings, A. Bregas

 Hello,

 we have a problem regarding Sitelinks (in Enhanced Campaigns):

 We have some Sitelinks in Enhanced Campaigns, which can be seen in the 
 Web Interface.
 When we use the Adwords Editor, Keywords and Ads of the Enhanced 
 Campaign are visible, but the Sitelinks are not displayed.
 We also can not retrieve them by using the Adwords API in our program. 
 The reports we download do not contain the Sitelinks.

 We do not have a general problem with Sitelinks, because 90% of the 
 Sitelinks are not problematical. 
 For example when we generate a new Campaign by using the Adwords Editor 
 and add an Sitelink, there are no problems. It is displayed on the Web 
 Interface, we can see it in the Adwords Editor and we can request them 
 with 
 the Adwords API and download reports containing the Sitelinks.

 There must be some constellation for the creation of Sitelinks which 
 results in this problem, this is at least our guess.

 We use Adwords Editor 10.1. and the adwords-api-8.11.0-loner.jar (old 
 Java library).

 We experienced this problem only with Enhanced Campaigns, but it is 
 possible that it does also happen with normal campaigns. 

 Some help would be great, thank you!

 Greetings

Re: Sitelinks are not displayed in Adwords Editor, only in Web Interface (enhanced campaigns)

[gai-test-1]

Hi Anash,

but why are we able to request Sitelinks with the 
CampaignAdExtensionService when they are created by using the Adwords 
Editor?

What is the difference between using  the Web Interface and the Adwords 
Editor? In both cases we created a campaign and added sitelinks, but only 
when we create it with the Adwords Editor we could request them by using 
CampaignAdExtensionService. It can't be correct that retrieving upgraded 
Sitelinks is not possible with CampaignAdExtensionService, we tested it 
multiple times. 

Any help would be great, thank you!
