Hello All, So yes, it is indeed possible to add both keywords and websites to campaigns via the AdWords API, at least in the Production environment. And yes, I've been in contact with the documentation team about the need to scrub the docs to remove statements that no longer apply now that keywords and websites are both available in campaigns. And finally, a prerequisite for adding both a keyword and website into a campaign is to have both the keywordMaxCpc and siteMaxCpc options set on the containing ad group, and attempts to set both of those properties in an ad group in the Sandbox environment fail. I've been in contact with the engineering team about that as well and it is something that they will resolve (though unfortunately issues with the Sandbox environment usually take a bit longer to address).
For what it's worth, I included a code sample in the latest release of the AdWords API Ruby client library that illustrates creating a campaign that contains both keyword and website criteria, if anyone wants to look at some code: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-ruby/source/browse/trunk/examples/create_all.rb Cheers, -Jeff Posnick, AdWords API Team On Sep 2, 9:35 am, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi shadow, > > I got this Email from an APIAdvisor on 1st of August: > > <quote> > Yes, the documentation team is in the process of scrubbing the docs > to > reflect the new targeting options.
