TargetingIdeaService API

[Matei Fesnic]

I changed the type from GetKeywordIdeas.php  friom 'IDEAS' to 'STATS'  and added some code so that it will show me statistics for the keywords that I enter. However, if the keywords entered consist of more than one word or do not have any searches on Google, it doesn't take them into consideration. What can I do so that it adds them in a table along with the others? The other keywords are added into the table as they should be, only the ones with absolutely no searches on Google or that consist of more than one word aren't added from what I noticed. If there is someone from the AdWords API  team who could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi Matei,

When you are using TargetingIdeaService to get stats for keywords, if a particular keyword is not returned in the results, this means that there isn't enough search volume for this keyword in the context of AdWords and hence the service cannot give you a good estimate of search volume. Other restrictive parameters, like language and location, provided in the request might be the reason for stats not showing up in the results. 

Could you provide the complete SOAP XML request and response logs so that I can look into it? Please use Reply privately to author when responding.

Thanks,
