I'm not 100% sure if this is the expected behavior or not but I figured someone here would know:
When sending request for a group of keywordEstimates within one adgroupEstimate that has no adGroupID the data returned seems to vary based upon the keywords included as if they're being grouped into some sort of ad-hoc adgroup before the estimates are being returned. This is also true if each keyword is placed in it's own adgroup before being submitted-- the only apparent way to change this behavior is put each keyword in it's own campaignEstimate _and_ adgroupEstimate. This behavior is reflected in the external Traffic Estimator tool found in the adwords portal, as an example if you use the tool with the terms' chicago bike shop' and 'auto insurance' with a max CPC of $2 the estimated ad position returned for 'chicago bike shop' will be 1.57, but when you use the same max CPC for the term 'chicago bike shop' alone it returns a value of 1.47. As you can imagine this provides a bit of a problem for getting individual keyword values since the maximum number of campaignEstimates per SOAP request (we're using the PHP client Lib) seems to be 5. Any thoughts?
