Hi Piet, The TargetingIdeaService is based on different technology than the KeywordToolExternal, and the results are more closely related to the Search-based Keyword Tool:
http://www.google.com/sktool/ The monthly search volume is not available for the current month, since the month is still in progress. Last month's search volume is made available about a week after the end of the month. For an average value you can use the attribute TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES: http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/v2009/docs/reference/TargetingIdeaService.AttributeType.html#TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES Best, - Eric Koleda, AdWords API Team On Apr 2, 10:18 am, Teabeats <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey, > > It seems that the count we get for the most recent month (from a > MonthlySearchVolume type) always returns null.
