Hello Bryan,
Yes, I gathered that that's what you were asking, and I was trying to
indicate (with a bid of hedging) that I believe that's the case--
whenever there's a non-zero proxyMaxCpc I believe that means that
proxy bidding is in effect. That's certainly what the documentation
implies:
Jeff,
I think my previous question was confusing, let me re-phrase: If we
retrieve a keyword from the API and there is a non-zero proxyMaxCpc,
does this always mean that the maxCpc will be ignored and the proxy
bid will be used instead? Or can there be a non-zero proxyMaxCpc
which is ignored fo
Hello Bryan,
The only time I've ever seen the proxy bid values set is if Google is
modifying bids on your behalf--usually via the Budget Optimizer
option, but we learned that Position Preferences will cause this to
happen as well. In those situations you would not expect the normal
CPC settings
Jeff,
One more quick question about this I hope you can answer:
If maxProxyCpc is non-zero, does that mean the proxy bid will always
be used? In other words, if campaign optimization, position
preference, etc. are all disabled, will maxProxyCpc = 0?
Thanks,

Hello Bryan,
No, I don't think Position Preference settings are exposed via the
AdWords API. I can't really say whether there are other AdWords
account settings available via the web interface that will end up
enabling proxy bidding--unfortunately (from the AdWords API
perspective) there are a l
Jeff, thanks for investigating. Apparently the Position Preference is
not accessible through the API, but hopefully this will be added in
the future. I'm also curious what other settings will enable proxy
bidding.

Hello Bryan,
It turns out that this behavior is due to having Position Preferences
enabled for that campaign. Much like the Budget Optimizer, Position
Preferences will modify bids on your behalf, and they will show up as
proxy bids.
More information about Positions Preferences can be found at
Thanks Jeff, we really appreciate your help.

Hello Bryan,
Thanks. I took a look at your account and I think there's something
amiss on the AdWords level--the campaigns bids are being actively
changed as if Budget Optimizer were enabled, but I don't see any
indication that it is (and the AdWords web interface is displaying the

Thanks for the reply. I do not see any explanatory text next to the
bids in the web interface. The ad group id is 750368836. Any help
would be appreciated since we are still seeing this behavior.
Thanks,
Bryan

Hello Bryan,
What do you see when you look at the ad group and keywords in the
AdWords web interface--is there any explanatory text next to the bids?
What's the id of the ad group you're looking at?
Cheers,
