And as tech guys we always wonder if the world is a better place with AI Agents taking over. My guess is that even gpt-3 would have come up with a better solution than this.
On thing i often hear in the DDD universe: I do not want to know what the underlying database is doing. Just wanna safe my stuff. And so it goes that you have slow queries, both on sql and nosql databases because the programmer does not want to use the DB's own features correctly...
Back in those days there also was a game which i can barely remember: There were two monkey any you need to throw bananas at each others over or through skyscrapers... Does anyone know what game that was?
Same, though I didn't edit Gorillas itself. I played that as a kid, then later (c. 2000) in my Intro to Programming class in middle school, I cloned it in Pascal. I even randomly had it select a day or night background, with a randomly positioned sun or moon. Still think back on that fondly :)
The only skyscraper game I remember was the one where you're flying a plane that's getting lower and lower and you have to bomb the scyscrapers before you crash into them.
Any idea if this API can pull a keywords searched and price paid for the report if the customer is using 'smart campaigns'?
I will dive in if it can..
The other day I spent some hours trying to find reports to show where this friend spent his adwords money and just about every report in his dashboard was blank. He has been running this campaign for about 2 months now - so there should be some data..
I only found one report that showed any data, the rest blank - so then I went to help, then chatted with adwords support - explained the problem, what I was looking for.. told to wait some days for a response cuz covid.. okay.
Got an email forwarded to me saying that you can't get that data with 'smart campaigns'...
"I would like to inform you that, you can view your search phrases performance (impressions, clicks and status) in the campaigns dashboard, however, cost option is not available for smart campaigns."
So... this is disturbing - and then there is this "You may use the search terms report to see how your ads performed (clicks, impressions, CTR, cost, etc) when triggered by actual searches within the Search Network. "
Yet I have clicked virtually every link in the dashboard and I find nothing of the sort.
I feel like I can put about 2 more hours into this - and then my advice will be to just to cancel adwords it's too opaque.
So should I spend 2 hours learning this API thing, or trying to re-learn adwords to switch off smart campaigns, or a secret how to use reports with campaigns doc or what, I don't know how to get the info needed.
To be honest, I often thought about creating such a device, I mysqlf had the same pain. I just can image how many non-tech guys struggle how to setup pi-hole. Time's the problem here though...
