CPC - Costresults in V13 returned as 0

[strait]

I use the v13 trafficestimatorservice to get the CPC - costs for a
range of keywords. I recognize that many, many results are delivered
with for example

ApiUnitCount 20
Keyword spielzeug
LowerAvgPosition 0.0
LowerClicksPerDay 0.0
LowerCpc 0.0
UpperAvgPosition 0.0
UpperClicksPerDay 0.0
UpperCpc 0.0

THe keywordtool tells me different values. How is this possible?

Thanks a lot for help.

Hi,

Are you using the esitmateKeywordList() method? If so, this method
makes certain assumptions about language and location that may be
effecting the results. More information is available in this blog

Thanks for you posting. Ist correct... we use the esitmateKeywordList
() method. We will make a check on the other method to get results.
Will come back with the test results afterwards.

Kind regards

We changed the api-method and have checked our standard setting: it´s
german; but 3 of 10 results remain 0 although the external keywordtool
estimates costs.

It would be much easier for us and many other customers to get one new
method to get
- traffic last month and average
- cpc - costs
- cpc - competitionscale
thats it.

Not for a broad keyword range of 200 suggestions, but only for just
this keyword. and not for 20 api-units but for 1. And if the
responsetime would then be good, id would be a great service.

Please take that into consideration.

Thanks a lot and heve a good weekend...

Sorry for coming back again,

but my problem becomes almost ugly. The very most of my results aren´t
getting the correct results. 5 of 10 now getting 0 or returning an
error. Now we got in summary about 150000 results with 0!
How can we fix that problem?

The performance of the cpc - method is also not good. Would be glad to
get more results.

My programmer gave me a new method to deal with more keywords in one
request. But all failed; always returning 0. Can you explain, how to
check which keyword - result came back (is it necessary to check
always the order of the results and match that with the order of the
request list?)

Thanks for support.

Kind regards

Hi Christian,

Can you please post a sample request that demonstrates this problem?
It would help if I could run the request myself and look at the
results.

Thanks,
