Hello,
When I use the web tool to perform the actions you describe, I get
the following result:
Keywords related to term(s) entered - sorted by relevance
google api 1 - 3 $1.79 550,000 450,000
I'm not sure where you're getting the 27,100 number from, but 450,000
is the average search volume I'm getting.
When I make the following call to getKeywordVariations(), leaving out
the countries and languages options so that all are selected:
<getKeywordVariations>
<seedKeywords>
<negative>false</negative>
<text>Google Api</text>
<type>Broad</type>
</seedKeywords>
<useSynonyms>false</useSynonyms>
</getKeywordVariations>
I get a response that contains this result, along with many other
results:
<ns1:moreSpecific>
<ns1:text>google api</ns1:text>
<ns1:language></ns1:language>
<ns1:advertiserCompetitionScale>4</ns1:advertiserCompetitionScale>
<ns1:avgSearchVolume>450000</ns1:avgSearchVolume>
<ns1:lastMonthSearchVolume>550000</ns1:lastMonthSearchVolume>
</ns1:moreSpecific>
That's the same data as I'm seeing in the web tool. While there can
sometimes be differences in the estimates returned from the web tool
and the getKeywordVariations() call, there doesn't seem to be in this
case.
Cheers,
