Bid and priority (KeywordBid)
The bid or priority that can be assigned for a keyword or autotargeting depends on which display strategy is selected in the campaign:
- If the HIGHEST_POSITION display strategy is chosen for search, the SearchBid parameter can be specified.
- If the MAXIMUM_COVERAGE or MANUAL_CPM display strategy is chosen for ad networks, the NetworkBid parameter can be specified.
- If an automatic strategy is selected, you can use the StrategyPriority parameter: keywords with higher priority are allocated more traffic when possible, and they are the last ones to be stopped when budget funds are low.
Service
