Hi Eric, thank you for your reply but I need a more precise explaination of this functionality in order to get the best results for generating campaigns - the lack of knowledge on this topic is not an option for me.
I did the following test: * I picked a keyword and tested 3 combinations ** source keyword from type EXACT, results from type BROAD (eb) ** source keyword from type BROAD, results from type EXACT (be) ** source keyword from type BROAD, results from type BROAD (bb) * I generated a couple of results (see below), compairing them based on AVERAGE_TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES (AM), GLOBAL_MONTHLY_SEARCHES (GM) and the Rank (based on the order in which the results are returned): Text ebAM beAM bbAM ebGM beGM bbGM ebRank beRank bbRank kw1 33100 14800 33100 40500 14800 40500 0 0 0 kw2 390 0 390 390 91 390 5 1 1 kw3 880 210 880 880 210 880 1 2 2 kw4 2900 480 2900 4400 480 4400 2 3 3 .... kwx 74000 22200 74000 74000 27100 74000 682 682 790 kwy 8100 590 8100 8100 590 8100 683 683 792 I just can not understand how are the results generated. As you can see: eb = bb regarding volume be = bb regarding rank (sometimes) eb = be regarding rank (sometimes) Could you (or some one from the developers) explain shortly based on examples why the difference in the results. I would like to see at least how are the dependencies between the match type and the rank / search volume / competition / CPC defined.
