type DynamicSearchAd (v201506)

Represents a dynamic search ad. This ad will have its headline and tracking URL auto-generated at serving time according to domain name specific information provided by DomainInfoExtension linked at the campaign level.

Auto-generated fields: headline and optional tracking URL.

Required fields: description1, description2, displayUrl.

The tracking URL field must contain at least one of the following placeholder tags (URL parameters):

  • {unescapedlpurl}
  • {escapedlpurl}
  • {lpurl}
  • {lpurl+2}
  • {lpurl+3}
  • {unescapedlpurl} will be replaced with the full landing page URL of the displayed ad. Extra query parameters can be added to the end, e.g.: "{unescapedlpurl}?lang=en".
  • {escapedlpurl} will be replaced with the URL-encoded version of the full landing page URL. This makes it suitable for use as a query parameter value (e.g.: "http://www.3rdpartytracker.com/?lp={escapedlpurl}") but not at the beginning of the URL field.
  • {lpurl} encodes the "?" and "=" of the landing page URL making it suitable for use as a query parameter. If found at the beginning of the URL field, it is replaced by the {unescapedlpurl} value. E.g.: "http://tracking.com/redir.php?tracking=xyz&url={lpurl}".
  • {lpurl+2} and {lpurl+3} will be replaced with the landing page URL escaped two or three times, respectively. This makes it suitable if there is a chain of redirects in the tracking URL.

Note that finalUrls and finalMobileUrls cannot be set for dynamic search ads.
