Content sites statistics

[Dwin]

Hello,

I am currently coding an interface to manage my adwords keywords. I
have been searching for quite a long time now but cannot find how to
get the statistics for the content sites.

Is it possible to get those informations with the current version of
the API ?

Thanks in advance

I may be misunderstanding your question, but here goes ...

If you have site-targeted criteria, use getCriterionStats:

http://www.google.com/apis/adwords/developer/CriterionService.html#getCriterionStats

Otherwise, use a CustomReportJob and set the adWordsType field to
ContentOnly:

http://www.google.com/apis/adwords/developer/CustomReportJob.html#adWordsType

Thanks for your answer,

Perhaps I do not use the right terms. I am an API Google beginner. =)

I am trying to set the maxContentCPC value of an AdGroup. But to
calculate this value, I need some statistics about the content websites
(not the search websites) like the convertion rate, number of clics,
etc... for a given period.

"getCriterionStats" gives stats about the criterions only and not the
content sites.

And well, I realy didn't understand how to use a CustomReportJob and
cannot find any exemple. =/

Thanks in advance

Actually, getCriterionStats as well as report also work on content. There is one "extra" keyword per adgroup, id 3000000 for the content. HTH,

I sent a getCriterionStats with criterionIds 3000000 and the answer is
:

"soapenv:Server.userException: No criterion with this ID was found in
this AdGroup."

I am sure the content site criterion is activated and it contains a
value.

I tried to do a getAllCritera and the content site criteria is not
returned.

OK, I was probably wrong on getCriteriaStats, however, it works on reports!

Ok, still, nobody can give an exemple of a getCriterionStats request to
return the statistics of content site ?

CustomReportJob is working but is so slow I cannot use it in my
application. =(

Thanks
