Thanks, Danial. While I might understand not reporting this metric precisely with very small or zero actual impressions, the "> 90%" number seems unrelated to the number of impressions reported. For example, I have one row that shows 1 impression and "66.67%" rank lost impression share. I have another row with 1702 impressions and "> 90%" rank lost impression share.
The "> 90%" number seems to displayed if and only if the rank lost impression share is above 90%. I don't see any rows that have precise rank lost impression share greater than 90. I'm trying to understand why AdWords will happily report "88.89%" lost impression share (as one example I've seen) but won't tell me anything like "90.11%" lost impression share. -- Devesh On Mon, Jul 29, 2013 at 5:20 AM, Danial Klimkin < adwordsapiadvisor+dan...@google.com> wrote: > Hello Devesh, > > > We do not plan to expose the raw impression numbers on search results in > the AdWords API.
