Thank you for the quick reply! I presume you meant the "AVERAGE_TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES" attribute: does this average value include the last month that is only available after one week in the monthly volumes attrib? Also will there be a way in the future to determine wether the last month is still being processed (thus not being returned) or the value will never be known for the entire month?
In effect the monthly volumes attribute will now return only values for the past 11 months (in the first week) instead of the documented 12? Thanks, Piet.
