updateCriteria doesn’t have to blush anymore
February 27th, 2006 | Published in Google Adwords API
In v2 when calling updateCriteria with destinationUrl values of null or "", the result is actually those values respectively. In v3, null really means don't update destinationUrl, and "" means set the destinationUrl to null (i.e. clear the destinationUrl).
This oft requested change of semantics allows you to use updateCriteria in order to change maxCpc of a Keyword without needing to know the destinationUrl, which was the only issue that obliged developers to still use setKeywordListMaxCpc.
