AdWords API Re: Got this error Separate content keyword bids is only applicable in campaigns with keyword cpc bids.
Hello Xavier, If you don't have a value set for keywordContentMaxCpc (or you set it to 0) then the value of keywordMaxCpc will be used for content network CPC bids instead. So setting keywordMaxCpc will be enough to determine your content bid in that scenario.

AdWords API Re: Got this error Separate content keyword bids is only applicable in campaigns with keyword cpc bids.
I set it zero and the content bid gets set to Auto when I see it through the web, if I'm not wrong Auto is not the same as using the search bid (it's an average of keyword bids). I solve this by editing the bids entering them manually through the web, but the idea is to use the API to turn this into something automatic. The thing that drives me crazy is that with other customer account, I can have campaigns and adgroups with the exact same settings and the API call works (I mean setting the content bid when search is off), so I'm not sure if there is something that I'm missing or if it's a real API bug.

AdWords API Re: Got this error Separate content keyword bids is only applicable in campaigns with keyword cpc bids.
I created a new campaign and ad group with the same settings, and I cannot reproduce the problem, it seems it happens only on the account I'm working. So, I don't know what's going on here with this error (I already tried setting the keywordMaxCpc only too). The SOAP request id is: requestId soapenv:actor=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/ next soapenv:mustUnderstand=0 xmlns=https://adwords.google.com/api/ adwords/v138f8cbc99cce943a0fb23b68dddc57f5a/requestId Regards, Xavier On Feb 25, 6:17 pm, AdWords API Advisor adwordsapiadvi...@google.com wrote: Hello Xavier, The explanation you describe may be correct, and if that's the case then I'd imagine you should just set the keywordMaxCpc property to the desired bid for the keywords (even though they will only run on the Content network). Can you try setting that via the API and then check out the ad group in the web interface to see if the correct bid is being used for the Content network? The requestId information can not be used by anyone outside of Google to look up your request, so in general there are no security concerns with posting it. But it sounds like all you need to do is just set the keywordMaxCpc property.

Hello Xavier, The explanation you describe may be correct, and if that's the case then I'd imagine you should just set the keywordMaxCpc property to the desired bid for the keywords (even though they will only run on the Content network).

From what investigated, this code worked for one customer that had search and content networks selected in the campaign, and it fails for another customer which has search off and content on, thus the ad group has the max cpc bid for search to off and only the content to on. So, the Separate content keyword bids is only applicable in campaigns with keyword cpc bids message should mean that I can't set the keywordcontentmaxcpc if search if off, so it seems we can set it manually through the Adwords web page, but not through the API, is that right? I'll ask if I can post here that request id information, thanks for your help.

The most straightforward way of determining what is triggering this error would be for me to look up your SOAP request in our logs. Could you turn on logging so that you have access to the request and response SOAP XML, and let me know the value of the 'requestId' SOAP response header? Cheers, -Jeff Posnick, AdWords API Team On Feb 23, 2:15 pm, Xavier javier1...@hotmail.com wrote: Hello, thanks for your reply, the code actually tries to update an adgroup not adding a new one. I read on the API documentation that in the updateAdGroup() call, if you omit one parameter, it will maintain the original value: http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/developer/AdGroupService.htm... I'm only setting the id, and the keywordcontentmaxcpc, that's what I want, but Google returns that error which I don't completely understand, I'm not sure if something I'm doing wrong or some real bug on Google Adwords API. I found an example here: http://google-api-adwords-java.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/examples/ApiE... // Create an ad group AdGroup myAdGroup = new AdGroup(); myAdGroup.setName(dev guide); myAdGroup.setKeywordContentMaxCpc(new Long(5)); That's for adding an adgroup (not updating like I want), but it only sets the keyword content cpc, and not the other (the keyword cpc), which according to the API docs: http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/developer/AdGroup.html if we set keywordContentMaxCpc we are overriding keywordMaxCpc, so I'm afraid that setting keywordMaxCpc too is not what I really meant to do. I searched the web for that error and I found only one message that doesn't explain the problem), so I think this is important, since a solution to this will help everybody who had this problem. Sorry if I'm stubborn on this, but I think there's something wrong with that message.

The snippet suggests you're trying to create a new ad group. If that's the case, you should not set the id of the ad group (because you don't know it in advance) and you shouldn't make a call to updateAdGroup(). Instead, you should populate all the relevant fields of the new ad group and then make a call to addAdGroup(). If you're setting the keywordContentMaxCpc option on the ad group then you should also set the keywordMaxCpc attribute as well--I think that might be the source of your error. But regardless of that, you need to make changes to your code to create an ad group with the proper API calls.
