setBids

Sets bids and priorities for targeting conditions for dynamic ads.

You can set a bid or priority for an individual dynamic text ad target, for all dynamic text ad targets in an ad group, or for all dynamic text ad targets in a campaign.

The bid or priority is used depending on which display strategy is selected in the campaign:

• If the campaign has an automatic strategy set up, the StrategyPriority parameter is used: ads for dynamic text ad targets with higher priority are allocated more traffic when possible, and they are the last ones to be stopped when budget funds are low.

• If a manual strategy is set up in the campaign, the Bid parameter is used.

The ContextBid parameter is not used at this time.

If an item in the input array contains parameters that are not appropriate for the strategy, the values of these parameters are saved and a warning is issued.

• If an automatic strategy is set up in the campaign, but the Bid parameter is set for a dynamic text ad target, this bid value won't be applied. When the strategy switches from automatic to manual, the bid will be selected by an automatic algorithm.

• If a manual strategy is set up in the campaign, but the StrategyPriority parameter is set for a dynamic text ad target, the set priority value will be applied later when the strategy is switched to an automatic one.
