With the latest API release, I see that the ad group bid modifiers in display campaigns for things like gender, age, user lists, etc., that I asked about are now out of beta, which is great. A couple things:
1 - The documentation at https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201309/AdGroupBidModifierService.AdGroupBidModifier still claims that the only supported Criterion to pass in is the HighEndMobile Platform. Looks like this documentation needs updating -- or are these display campaign ad group level bid modifiers set using some other service? I assumed it would be the AdGroupBidModifierService, and I don't see any examples of setting them using any kind of service in the Java library samples. 2 - The announcement and release notes for the v201309 API release don't mention that it now supports remarketing for search (RLSA), which is another adgroup level bid modifier that I mentioned in my original post. However, a colleague heard from a usually reliable source that the API for doing RLSA is now publicly available as of the v201309 release. Is that accurate, and the announcement/release notes just overlooked it, or is his source mistaken?
