I'm making a web service call to the Keywords tool with the matchType of BROAD specified. However, I am returned duplicate keywords of all different matchTypes. This is obviously a problem given Google penalizes you for having duplicate keywords.
Here's my log: Request: ... <SOAP-ENV:Body> <ns2:get> <ns2:selector> <ns2:searchParameters xsi:type="ns2:RelatedToKeywordSearchParameter"> <ns2:keywords> <ns1:text>papo knights</ns1:text> <ns1:matchType>BROAD</ns1:matchType> </ns2:keywords> </ns2:searchParameters> <ns2:ideaType>KEYWORD</ns2:ideaType> <ns2:requestType>IDEAS</ns2:requestType> <ns2:requestedAttributeTypes>KEYWORD</ ns2:requestedAttributeTypes> <ns2:paging> <ns1:startIndex>0</ns1:startIndex> <ns1:numberResults>20</ns1:numberResults> </ns2:paging> </ns2:selector> </ns2:get> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> and here's the response: ... <soap:Body> <ns2:getResponse xmlns="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/ v200909" xmlns:ns2="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/o/v200909"> <ns2:rval> <ns2:totalNumEntries>477</ns2:totalNumEntries> <ns2:entries> <ns2:data> <ns2:key>KEYWORD</ns2:key> <ns2:value xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema- instance" xsi:type="ns2:KeywordAttribute"> <ns2:Attribute.Type>KeywordAttribute</ ns2:Attribute.Type> <ns2:value> <Criterion.Type>Keyword</Criterion.Type> <text>papo figures</text> <matchType>PHRASE</matchType> </ns2:value> </ns2:value> </ns2:data> </ns2:entries> <ns2:entries> <ns2:data> <ns2:key>KEYWORD</ns2:key> <ns2:value xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema- instance" xsi:type="ns2:KeywordAttribute"> <ns2:Attribute.Type>KeywordAttribute</ ns2:Attribute.Type> <ns2:value> <Criterion.Type>Keyword</Criterion.Type> <text>papo figures</text> <matchType>BROAD</matchType> </ns2:value> </ns2:value> </ns2:data> </ns2:entries> any ideas? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
