Spliting desktop and mobile URLs while upgrading

[Santhosh Neyyar]

We  would like to upgrade  Create Urls  with out resetting creative stats and planning to use AdUrlUpgrade API.  We also want to get rid of {ifmobile:} {ifnotmobile:} segments from destination URLs and move appropriate segments to finalURL & finalMobileURL. I am wondering whether this would trigger a URL_NOT_EQUIVALENT  error . Can you please point me to documentation section that indicates rules we should follow when using this API to upgrade ?

current URL format: 

           http://{ifmobile:m.mysite.com}{ifnotmobile:www.mysite.com}

We do not add tracking params in creative URLs as of now, but have these on keyword URLs.  Tracking params will be moved to campaing  tracking templates after the upgrade. I am assuming that we still can use "AdUrlUpgrade" API to upgrade creatives since creative URLs never had tracking params. In other words, adwords url validator used for  "AdUrlUpgrade" doesn't use tracking templates in "AdGroups" , "Campaign" & Account level.

I would appreciate if Adwords API team could confirm this strategy.

thanks,
Santhosh

Hi Santhos,

Check out our Migration to Upgraded URLs guide for rules that you should follow when upgrading. There are also code examples available in the guide. Without tracking params, it will be much simpler to upgrade.
