Don't get me wrong I'm not being judgmental, I'm just the dev in the story, but if for some reason one day I decide to change the behaviour of my applications/code without notice I don't think the business will appreciate it. Fair enough the keyword tool is free of charge as is the I'm just the dev in the story and couldn't care less what numbers are returned, but I can understand the feeling of the analysts behind me -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
