Hi Ro, generally, if you are only interested in statistics, using the Adhoc reports is preferable as they don't incur any costs and don't require paging if you need to download a large result set. I also feel that they are somewhat faster than using the corresponding service, but that might be subjective. I do not know what could be causing the timeouts you are mentioning, in my experience the report service is very reliable. Maybe it has to do with the issue described here: <https://groups.google.com/d/topic/adwords-api/M186skBI42Y/discussion>
Hope this helps & cheers, Dorian On Monday, July 9, 2012 3:44:45 PM UTC+2, Ro wrote: > > Anyone has input about the subject ? > > > Thanks! > > > On Thursday, July 5, 2012 5:43:13 PM UTC-4, Ro wrote: > >> Hi, >> I saw in the c# documentation & examples that there are 2 ways to get >> reports for campaign stats.
