Hi Eric I've sort of got an answer to my issue, but (as is often the case) it raises another issue
It seems as though the reason i couldn't remove the keyword criterion is because I corrupted the keyword by removing the destination url during testing because all our other (correctly defined) keyword criterions behave as expected. I have a few criterions like this and none of them are either visible in the adwords front end or mutatable via API calls although it is possible to obtain information on these items using a GET call. An example of a corrupted keyword criterion would be adgroup id : 1274081242, criterion id 12034820 We would ideally like to be able to add a destination url to this criteria (and several other similarly corrupted keywords like it) or failing that remove it ourselves. Is this possible? If not, would you be able to remove the keywords for us if we send you a list? Please let me know if you require any further clarification Kind Regards Tam On Feb 8, 3:59 pm, AdWords API Advisor <adwordsapiadvi...@google.com> wrote: > HiTam, > > Your request appears to be structured correctly, and the error is > merely saying that the criterion ID you have specified doesn't exist, > or at least doesn't existing within that ad group.
