TrafficEstimatorService: clicksPerDay value greater than impressionsPerDay value

[Jayson]

Hi,

I'm using TrafficEstimatorService to retrieve traffic estimates for keywords. However I find the StatsEstimate result returned is kinda odd, because the clicksPerDay value is a lot greater than the impressionsPerDay value. 

Sample returned data: 

clicksPerDay: "421.2471", impressionsPerDay: "1.03894304E9"

Is this behavior normal? Or this is a dummy result because I'm using a test account to retrieve the data.

Thanks,

Jayson

Hi Jayson,

Test account results often return dummy data so what you are encountering right now is not entirely accurate. In order to retrieve accurate estimates, you may need to try your request using a production account instead of your test account.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the quick response. I will try to test it using production account once I got my basic access API application approved.
