We use Click Performance Report to get click GCLIDs of search and display campaigns. I've noticed, that this report also shows YouTube video campaign data, but in this case the report contains views instead of clicks (there is also GCLID column). While in search/display campaigns GCLID is added to url parameters is there any potential use of GCLID parameter shown for YouTube video campaigns, when there is no click? What is the reason for showing GCLID of ad views, which have not resulted in a click?

Hi,

To further investigate the issue, could you provide to me the clientCustomerId, the complete report definition used to generate the reports in the AdWords API and the sample YouTube video campaign data returned by the Click Performance Report? You may reply via Reply privately to author option.
