[AdWords API Advisor]

We're happy to announce the release of the AdWords API version 13
(v13)! V13 introduces several changes to the AdWords API; we've
highlighted the main points below. For a complete list of v13 changes,
please see our release notes (http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/docs/

V13 Highlights:
* New geotargeting options: Target multiple geographic levels
(countries, regions, metro areas, and cities) within a single
campaign, target specific regions of multiple countries in a single
campaign, and setup negative targeting for specific regions (for
example, target the United States with the exception of Alaska).

* New reports: Generate Search Query Performance and Geographic
Performance reports using ReportService and DefinedReportJob.

* Mobile image ads: Use the new MobileImageAd ad type to create
graphical advertisements for the mobile content network.

* Suggested campaign budgets: Retrieve budget suggestions for your
campaigns with getRecommendedBudgetList.

* Active campaigns and ad groups: Want to retrieve only your active
campaigns and ad groups? Now you can, using getActiveAdWordsCampaigns
and getActiveAdGroups.

* Quality-based bid and Quality Score support: We've added two new
Keyword fields:
o firstPageCpc (first page bid estimate)
o qualityScore (Quality Score of the keyword)
