Hi Shwetha,
we noticed a little bit different behavior for these keywords that had
their bids updated via "ADD" operation. Looks like it takes them way longer
to start performing on new bids than when we use actual SET operation.
Thank you,

Hi,
Yes, if you only want to change the keyword's bid amount, you can use the
ADD operator as well. If the keyword with the text and matchType is already
present in the AdGroup, it'll be treated as a SET operation and the keyword
attributes as specified.

Thank you,
but generally speaking if only attribute to be changed is bid amount, it is
safe to say this method works just fine. What I meant keyword won't be
treated as a new keyword, i.e. when there is a delay between actuall
addition of a keyword and its participation in an auction?
Thanks!
Hi,
Yes, that is correct. The addition of a keyword with the same combination
of text and the match type in an ad group will not result in an error,
instead it would update the existing keyword with the values provided in
the request.
Using the SET for update operation would be the right
Oh wait :) That actually means you can update kw bid with ADD operation
much faster than with the SET operation where you have to obtain kw id
first?

Never mind. Just tested this and yes it did change the bid for existing kw.

Hello!
Suppose I have a kw [red widget] with its own bid say $1.00, different from
default adgroup bid say $0.50. Now I'm adding bunch of new kws to this
adgroup and of of them is [red widget] too with bid $2.00
Am I right that after ADD operation my [red widget] bid will now be to
$2.00?
