Is there a step by step guide/tutorial on how to implant google
addword API on a web page?

I am a c# developer but more of a web delvoper, I have knowledge on
web services XML so on but I am confused on how you actually start an
application like this.
can you simply start a web project on visual studio web expression
edition and add a web ref to the Addword API
and then in the code behind of the web page call it and use it? or is
it much more complicated than that? meaning you have to build a class
and use multiple references so on and then use this class, the
examples they have are console applications and I cant get them to
work as It doesn't have the right refs even though I have out a web
ref to the api in web references.
Any A-Z guide or a working sample of a web application using the
addword api?

Thanks a lot for any help? my boss wants to build such an application
for him but I am puzzled how to start it, I have done loads of stuff
in .net 1.1 but never api things mostly information systems or web
stuff so I am a bit week on all the implanting api stuff, but from a
good example I will be able to customize and work from there


Thank you very much in advance

Hello,

I'd recommend that you start by getting familiar with the AdWords API
Developer Guide:

http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/adwords/docs/developer/

There is also a series of videos that we filmed with some basic
information:

http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com/2008/06/adwords-api-video-tutorial.html

As for actual code, I think it's much more straightforward to use the
pre-packaged .NET Client Library instead of generating your own
classes:

http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-dotnet/

It comes with some samples illustrating how to use the client library
to accomplish common tasks. You should be able to build based on those
examples.

Cheers,
