Hi, while implementing the new versions of both TargetingIdeaService and TrafficEstimatorService, we ran into some problems, that lead to a (sometimes too big) discrepancy between the API results and its corresponding tool.
1. TargetingIdeaService vs. http://preview.tinyurl.com/adwtool: According to the migration guide: *SEARCH_VOLUME is equivalent to AVERAGE_TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES if language and/or location is specified. SEARCH_VOLUME is equivalent to GLOBAL_MONTHLY_SEARCHES if language and/or location is not specified.* * * But, either I'm doing something wrong (not likely, as the API usually crashes when passed invalid structure) or the results for targeted search volume between the API and the tool are completely different. Here's an example: *Keyword*: [katze] *Targeting*: Location: Austria; Language: German *API*: SEARCH_VOLUME 18100 *Tool*: 5400 I'm attaching the request and response xmls. 2. TrafficEstimatorService vs http://preview.tinyurl.com/trafftool The problem here seems to persist from earlier, so it's not v201206 specific. We tried with the following data: *Keyword*: [katze] *Targeting*: Location: Austria; Language: German; Search Network: Google Search *Max CPC*: €2.00 *Tool Average CPC*: €1.94 *API results*: min CPC: €0.42, max CPC: €0.51 - as you can see, totally different from the Tool results. I'm also attaching the XML request and response files for reference. Can someone please shed some light as to why both TargetingIdea and TrafficEstimator services provide incorrect data? -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ 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.
