Hi,

my question is the following:
Is it possible to analyze the searchvolume for different keywords and publish the results on a website?
For example I would like to analyze the searches for different car models and calculate the popularity/interest over time.

Thanks :)

Hello, 

Through the API, it is possible to obtain the search volume trends which retrieves the traffic estimates for proposed or existing campaigns, ad groups, and keywords. The results can be used to estimate future traffic and help you decide whether your proposed keywords are optimal. However, it is currently not possible to populate the results on the website. You will need to implement a logic in your application to do the same. 

Let me know if you have any other questions. 

Regards,
Bharani, AdWords API Team

This is possible. You'd need some code to grab the data from Google, store it in your database or a file and then turn it into html to display on your site.

That's the simplistic version. It needs some thought around whether this would class as an internal use app or a full service tool and if you'd have to implement the Required Minimum Functionality.

Hello,

to make it more clear: I would like to start a blog about cars. And it would be interesting to meassure the popularity of different models.
My idea is it to use the search volume of each car brand as an indicator for how popular this model is.
For example I have 50 car models in my database and I use the Adwords API to get the searchvolume for keywords related to each car brand.
Those results I save in my database and publish them on my blog. For example the Ford F150 gains pupularity compared to Dodge RAM. 250 000 Searches compared to 220 000 Searches.

So the main question is: Can I use Searchvolumes for keywords on google on my blog. I aim to earn some money with it thorugh adsense.

Thanks. Hope that makes it more clear.
