Hello,
I'm trying to use TargetingIdeaService (C#) to get average monthly volume
and other keyword related parameters.
The code I'm using almost identical to provided examples, I just changed
the requestType to RequestType.STATS as appears in the attached file.
But the results I'm getting when running this code seems to be completely
off.
I tried two queries: "business intelligence software" and "maximtesttest".
For both, average monthly search and average CPC shows very strange results
of millions:
For keyword 'maximtesttest', result keyword is 'maximtesttest', average
monthly search volume *4232209*, average CPC *15058881*, and competition
0.62. Number of related keywords found: 1
For keyword 'business intelligence software', result keyword is 'business
intelligence software', average monthly search volume *5978033*, average
CPC *6296117*, and competition 0.30. Number of related keywords found: 1
Testing these keywords online works well.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Maxim
