Hi, Which keyword tool are you using? The results from the TargetingIdeaService are expected to be different from those of the older KeywordTool:
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal and more like the new Search-based Keyword Tool: http://www.google.com/sktool/ Also, a localeCode of "US" will not affect the country targeting of your query, you need to use a CountryTargetSearchParameter http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/v2009/docs/reference/TargetingIdeaService.CountryTargetSearchParameter.html Best, - Eric Koleda, AdWords API Team On Mar 17, 12:42 pm, pferdwurst <mameda...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi - > > I have noticed that the values I am returned when retrieving the > search volume (TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES and GLOBAL_MONTHLY_SEARCHES) > is wildly different from the values I see when querying from within > the KeywordTool. > > Is it perhaps that I'm not constructing my TargetingIdeaSelector > correctly (I am using the Java client library)? > I am setting > IdeaType = KEYWORD > RequestType = STATS > LocalCode = US > > For example, if I issue a request for 'ipod', the API returns a > GLOBAL_MONTHLY_SEARCHES of 9,140,000 while the KeywordTool shows > 124,000,000. > > What might I be doing wrong? > > Thanks! -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Have you migrated to v200909 yet?
