High volumes for odd keywords

[Karen O'Connor]

While volume checking some keywords, I've come across a few odd instances.

The text "midcharcoal25252525252525252525252525252525252bfluro25252525252525252525252525252525252borange25252525252525252525252525252525252bwindcheater" has a monthly volume of 49500 for the past 2 months, according to the API results.

Clearly that text isn't a real keyword, but occasionally some rubbish will get through to this point and it's a very strange result. Other keywords with similar high volumes I have seen:

"activateyto3ontzoju6imvtywlsijtzoji5oijzdxj5yxrplm5pbmdzawg4mub5ywhvby5jby5pzci7czo0oijjb2rlijtzojy6ijg5zwixmyi7czozoijwd2qio3m6odoindf5tuvzmzqio3m6mj"

"000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"

"platform2525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525252525"

They're causing a bit of trouble. Has anyone had similar results? Is there a better way to eliminate these odd keywords?

Hi Karen,

Would it be possible to send me your request log through Reply privately to author, so that I can further investigate this issue?

In the meantime, you can put a temporary filter to not return "keywords" such as those as a workaround. An example would be to reject suggestions that have more than 20 characters.

Thanks,

Anthony
