I am getting ridculous search volumes for even keywords such as 'svvqwegwqqg' which should not have a search volume in millions.
If i use TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES, the answer is always 1. Please help

Hi Vaibhav, 

Could you check if the clientCustomerId specified in the request header belongs to a Test AdWords account? TargetingIdeaService and TrafficEstimatorService return dummy data when used with test accounts. You'll need to make a request against a production account to get actual data. If the clientCustomerId is that of a production AdWords account, please provide a sample request and response log which returned incorrect search volume and I'll take a look. Please use Reply privately to author when responding.
