Hi Martin, STATS request are the preferred method of getting statistics for known keywords, while IDEAS is appropriate for generating related keywords. There have been cases in the past where STATS and IDEAS returned different results, and we're working to ensure that this doesn't happen going forward. I'm not seeing this behavior across all keywords, can you provide some samples that exhibit this behavior?
