Hello Dennis, The part that's confusing me is when you say "I was setting the site exclusions for the whole campaign just using one adgroup that belongs to that campaign". What do you mean by that? setCampaignNegativeCriteria() doesn't take an ad group as a parameter. It takes a campaignId as a parameter.
