What does the AdNetworkType1 correspond to the column in the Google AdWords GUI

[William Lai 生洋網路程式設計部-]

I'm trying to have the Ad Group Type field in the Ad Performance report. However, there is no attribute, segment and metric to have the information.

The purpose is to know that if the value is Display or Search of the advertisement. From the google api document https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports/ad-performance-report, I think that I can use AdNetworkType1 for getting the result. It works well. But I'm still confused by the two values, YOUTUBE_SEARCH and YOUTUBE_WATCH. 

What kind of setting situations in the Google AdWords GUI, will make the values as these.

Thanks in advance.

Hi William,

I'm afraid the AdGroupType field is only currently available in the Ad Group Performance Report. As for the AdNetworkType1 field, this field represents in which network your ads are being served. If you wish to determine the AdGroupType of your ads, then I would recommend that you include the AdGroupId field in your SELECT query in the Ad Performance Report. The next step would be to generate a separate report, which is the AdGroup Performance Report and include the AdGroupType field in the SELECT query while also using the AdGroupIds you retreived earlier as filter. Let me know if this helps.

As for the YOUTUBE_SEARCH value, this is associated to your in-stream ads while the YOUTUBE_WATCH value is for in-display.

For your questions regarding the Google AdWords UI settings, I'm afraid that it is already more product related rather than the AdWords API itself. This being said, I would recommend that you get in touch with the product experts in the AdWords Community Forum as they are more equipped to assist you regarding this.

Thanks and regards,

Peter
