Hello - We are using the TargetingIdeaService with the GlobalMonthlySearchesSearchParameter and the AverageTargetedMonthlySearchesSearchParameter with the STATS RequestType in order to return search volumes for specific keywords.
When I compare these results with the AdWords Keyword Tool, I'm baffled as to why the volumes are so far apart. Example: "twin air bed" Global EXACT match: 2900 (API) vs 320 (KW Tool) Global PHRASE match: 6600 (API) vs 1000 (KW Tool) Global BROAD match: 33100 (API) vs 3600 (KW Tool) In reading previous posts, I understand that the API should more closely match the SK Tool results than the Keyword Tool but even this doesn't hold true. For the example above the SK Tool returns 190. Any ideas what we're doing wrong?
