Re: URL Performance Report Imp values low?

Eric, We are pulling the URL Performance report data by day for each of our campaigns (3 days after they finished). I am comparing these results (imp, click. conv, cost) directly to the Network tab results for the same campaign on the same day at the URL level. All the results match exactly to th

Different CPC from keyword tool and API

I'm running the GetTrafficEstimates example code from the Adwords API download from http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-java/downloads/list.

I've spent a lot of time browsing the forums, but I'm also having problems getting an accurate CPC. I've made sure to use the same language and geotargeting in the UI, but I'm still getting a great difference between estimates, sometimes twice as high with the api compared to the gui. I've even use
