Hi Josh, We aren't seeing the number fluctuate for individual keywords - we are expecting that adding keywords will increase the impressions.
We are submitting the following keywords (with a type of BROAD): cruise, cat, dog. If it were an "OR" wouldn't it add the amount for each of those individual keywords into one total? Or am I not understanding how this API is meant to work? Shouldn't adding more keywords increase the number of people who see the ad?
