I think I understand now. By providing the KeywordType, all that
changes are the variations in the results you get back, not the
"avgSearchVolume" for the keyword or its variations; unlike say if you
were to enter it into google search using(mazda rx7, "mazda rx7",
[mazda rx7]) would yield different results which I was expecting with
KeywordToolService. Gotcha!
I decided to try it out before I posted the above. I used a few
different keywords; the variations I received were identical for each
KeywordType. Am I doing something wrong? (c#)
private void getKeywordTools()
{
string term = "rx7";
string clientEmail = "[email protected]";
SeedKeyword keyword;
KeywordVariations variations;
string email = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["adwords_login_id"];
string password = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings
["adwords_password"];
string useragent = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings
["adwords_useragent"];
string developerToken = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings
["adwords_developerToken"];
string applicationToken = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings
["adwords_applicationToken"];
KeywordToolService service = new KeywordToolService();
service.emailValue = new Google.KeywordToolService.email();
service.emailValue.Text = new String[] { email };
service.passwordValue = new Google.KeywordToolService.password();
service.passwordValue.Text = new String[] { password };
service.clientEmailValue = new Google.KeywordToolService.clientEmail
();
service.clientEmailValue.Text = new String[] { clientEmail };
service.useragentValue = new Google.KeywordToolService.useragent();
service.useragentValue.Text = new String[] { useragent };
service.developerTokenValue = new
Google.KeywordToolService.developerToken();
service.developerTokenValue.Text = new String[] { developerToken };
service.applicationTokenValue = new
Google.KeywordToolService.applicationToken();
service.applicationTokenValue.Text = new String[]
{ applicationToken };
keyword = new SeedKeyword();
keyword.text = term;
keyword.type = Google.KeywordToolService.KeywordType.Broad;
variations = service.getKeywordVariations(new SeedKeyword[]
{ keyword }, true, new string[] { "en" }, new string[] { "US" });
Repeater1.DataSource = variations.moreSpecific;
Repeater1.DataBind();
keyword = new SeedKeyword();
keyword.text = term;
keyword.type = Google.KeywordToolService.KeywordType.Exact;
variations = service.getKeywordVariations(new SeedKeyword[]
{ keyword }, true, new string[] { "en" }, new string[] { "US" });
Repeater2.DataSource = variations.moreSpecific;
Repeater2.DataBind();
keyword = new SeedKeyword();
keyword.text = term;
keyword.type = Google.KeywordToolService.KeywordType.Phrase;
variations = service.getKeywordVariations(new SeedKeyword[]
{ keyword }, true, new string[] { "en" }, new string[] { "US" });
Repeater3.DataSource = variations.moreSpecific;
Repeater3.DataBind();
}
