HourOfDay and Conversion Metrics

2013-05-06 Thread Dorian Kind
Hi all, when examining the "Report Types" appendix of the API documentation, one finds that the HourOfDay metric for Account, Campaign and Ad Group Performance reports is allegedly "Not compatible with conversion stats (Conversions, ValuePerConversion, etc)". However, when I try and request a C

CustomerSyncService and client IDs

Hi all, in the Adwords web interface, you can filter the "Recent Changes" list by user account that actually performed the change. Am I correct in assuming that this information is not available when using the CustomerSyncService? Thanks & Cheers -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=

Hi all, There are some previous threads about AdParams, but I'd thought I combine some of the issues I've encountered when using this feature, which from my point of view is a great mechanism for making your campaigns more dynamic, but is quite difficult to work with. I'm also interested whethe

Hi all, since yesterday, we started to see SelectorError.START_INDEX_IS_TOO_HIGH errors when fetching all AdParams for a given campaign, even though there are more AdParams existing. These errors usually start appearing at an offset of around 12. The campaign in question currently has 148124

Re: Global Average Position for Filtered Campaign Report

2013-09-05 Thread Dorian Kind
If you still want to display an average of average position, the CSV reports have a total line where this metric is available. I think it's just average position per campaign weighted by impressions, but it might be more complicated than that. Here's an example of such a report: "AveragePositio

As far as I know, structural data (the fields marked "Attribute") is not historicized. What we do is to collect the data we are interested in ourselves and store it locally every day. Cheers, Dorian On Thursday, September 5, 2013 5:29:05 PM UTC+2, timvlu...@gmail.com wrote: > > Dear all, > > I
