junk characters in Dynamic ad target column for different categories(001).

[narsing prasad]

Hi,

1. I am getting junk characters with actual values for dynamic ad target column and it also appending dynamic ad target to the value. this is when category is all  webpages
<row campaignID="227014206" adGroupID="14623404366" keywordID="103919229126" keywordPlacementState="enabled"campaign="30BIDTest" dynamicAdTarget="����#��%��"4thBidTestAdgrp11Dynamic Ad Target" maxCPC="auto: 2000000"criteriaType="Webpage" adGroup="4thBidTestAdgrp11" adGroupState="enabled" approvalStatus="approved" qualityScore="5"conversionOptimizerBidType="--"/>

eg :  dynamicAdTarget="����#��%��"4thBidTestAdgrp11Dynamic Ad Target( actual values is in red color).

2. sometimes we get only junk character without any values.

dynamicAdTarget="����#������*"

<row campaignID="xxxz" adGroupID="xxxxx" keywordID="xxx920" keywordPlacementState="enabled"campaign="30BIDTest2" dynamicAdTarget="����#������*" maxCPC="auto: 2000000" criteriaType="Webpage"adGroup="29JanBidOptionsAdgrp6" adGroupState="removed" approvalStatus="approved" qualityScore="5"conversionOptimizerBidType="--"/>

3. similarly i am getting repetaion of same values for dynamic ad targtet column

dynamicAdTarget="����#������FURL>>www.netelixir.com&+PAGE_CONTENT>>netelixir&+PAGE_TITLE>>netelixir���������www.netelixir.com�������� netelixir�������� netelixir".


can you know me why its is appending dynamic ad target to the actual values is 4thBidTestAdgrp11 (eg 1).
and in other cases its not appending anything only giving junk characters.
and in othere cases its giving values which is not reflect in adwords screen for dynamic add target.

Thank you.

Hi,

The issue with garbled text in the Parameter field was just fixed last night (see this related post). I just ran the report for your ad group below and I no longer see unprintable characters.

Could you please try your reports again and let me know if you still see issues? If so, please provide your report requests (with any sensitive information removed) and some sample ad group IDs I can use to check on my side.

Thanks,
