Hi Ben,
The cause of this error is that you are not specifying a type for the
CampaignCriterion (the operand element in this case).
CampaignCriterion is like an abstract type (although it can be used
when deleting criteria), and you need to specify a concrete type when
adding your criteria. The only subtype is currently
NegativeCampaignCriterion, which is what you want. The request would
look like:
<soap:Body>
<mutate xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/
v200906">
<operations>
<operator>ADD</operator>
<operand xsi:type="NegativeCampaignCriterion">
<campaignId>XXXXX</campaignId>
<criterion xsi:type="Keyword">
<text>career</text>
<matchType>BROAD</matchType>
</criterion>
</operand>
</operations>
...
</mutate>
</soap:Body>
Best,
