I am looking for the keyword data for Local Search Volume and the Global Monthly Search Volume in the TargetingIdeaService v201008.
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/AdWords/thread?tid=178ff45b5b388aa7&hl=en Local Search Volume: [Last Available Month]: This column shows the approximate number of search queries matching each keyword. This statistic applies to searches performed on Google and the search network in the most recent month that we have data for. It's specific to your targeted country and language as well as your selection from the Match Type drop-down menu. If we don't have enough data for a particular keyword, you'll see not enough data. Global Monthly Search Volume: This column shows the approximate average monthly number of search queries matching each keyword. This statistic applies to searches performed on Google and the search network over a recent 12-month period. It includes traffic in all countries and languages but is specific to your selection from the Match Type drop-down menu. If we don't have enough data for a particular keyword, you'll see not enough data. =========== I am getting the AVERAGE_TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES and GLOBAL_MONTHLY_SEARCHES data from the Google AdWords API without any problems. The Global Monthly Search Volume seems like the GLOBAL_MONTHLY_SEARCHES and the Local Search Volume seems like the TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES parameter. The problem is the TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES returns ZERO for my keywords. This is a sample of my code: #INITIALISE KEYWORD DATA $page = $targeting_idea_service->get($selector); #DISPLAY KEYWORD DATA if(isset($page->entries)) { #DISPLAY INDIVIDUAL KEYWORD DATA foreach($page->entries as $entry) { #INITIALISE KEYWORD DATA FOR CURRENT KEYWORD $keyword_data = MapUtils::GetMap($entry->data); #INITIALISE KEYWORD $keyword = $keyword_data['KEYWORD']->value; #INITIALISE MONTHLY SEARCHES $monthly_searches = $keyword_data['TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES']->value; $latest_monthly_searches = $monthly_searches[0]; $monthly_search_count = $latest_monthly_searches->count; if(!isset($monthly_search_count)) { $monthly_search_count = 0; } #INITIALISE AVERAGE MONTHLY SEARCHES $average_monthly_searches = $keyword_data['AVERAGE_TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES']->value; #INITIALISE GLOBAL MONTHLY SEARCHES $global_monthly_searches = $keyword_data['GLOBAL_MONTHLY_SEARCHES']->value; #DISPLAY INDIVIDUAL KEYWORD DATA echo "Keyword: $keyword->text, Match: $keyword->matchType, Targeted Monthly Searches: $monthly_search_count, Average Targeted Monthly Searches: $global_monthly_searches, Global Monthly Searches: $global_monthly_searches\n"; } } ========= The $monthly_search_count is always zero for me. It seems to be blank even when I use the PHP print_r function to see what is inside the object. I have tested both the live server and the sandbox server. Both of them return zero. Any idea what is happening here? -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
