Hi, I'm calling the AdWords API to get the advertising competition scale and monthly traffic estimate for a given keyword. I understand that in order to get this data I need to use the getKeywordVariations method. This is the salient portion of my request:
<pre> <n1:getKeywordVariations xmlns:n1="https://adwords.google.com/api/ adwords/v13"> <n1:seedKeywords> <n1:negative>false</n1:negative> <n1:text>acts_as_versioned</n1:text> <n1:type>Exact</n1:type> </n1:seedKeywords> <n1:useSynonyms>false</n1:useSynonyms> <n1:languages>en</n1:languages> <n1:countries>US</n1:countries> </n1:getKeywordVariations> </pre> My code is checking the getKeywordVariationsReturn element for a keyword variation that matches my seed keyword. However, there are two entries returned, with different data, but the text elements each have a number embedded: <pre> <getKeywordVariationsReturn> <moreSpecific> <text>acts_as_versioned 0</text> <language></language> <advertiserCompetitionScale>1</advertiserCompetitionScale> <avgSearchVolume>0</avgSearchVolume> <lastMonthSearchVolume>0</lastMonthSearchVolume> </moreSpecific> <moreSpecific> <text>acts_as_versioned 1</text> <language></language> <advertiserCompetitionScale>1</advertiserCompetitionScale> <avgSearchVolume>500</avgSearchVolume> <lastMonthSearchVolume>50</lastMonthSearchVolume> </moreSpecific> </getKeywordVariationsReturn> </pre> What do the numbers mean, and which set of data is "real" for this keyword? I've scoured the docs and I can't see any reference to the numbers that have been appended to the keyword variation text. Thanks in advance. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
