Hi Ray,

Thanks for your reply. Could you clarify exactly what you mean by "content 
bid can be used for Search and Display networks". When I look at creating a 
new campaign in the AdWords UI I have the following options for campaign 
type:

Search Network with Display Select
Search Network only
Display Network only
Shopping

For precisely which of these campaign types should I be able create ad 
groups with content bid set?

I have tried creating ad groups with contentBid set in all of the campaign 
types except Shopping, and all failed.

The soap request and responses I sent you were for a campaign that has type 
"Search Network with Display Select - All features"

Does it have an effect with the campaign are set with "all features" vs 
"standard"

If there's any further information I can provide you that would be of use, 
just let me know.

Thanks again for looking into this!
