Hi SEMDEV, To address your questions:
a) The RelatedToKeywordSearchParameter has a limit of 100 keywords, as stated in the documentation: http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/v2009/docs/reference/TargetingIdeaService.RelatedToKeywordSearchParameter.html b) The number of results returned can be very large, and must be retrieved in pages. The page size can be a maximum of 800 for get() and 500 getBulkKeywordIdeas(): http://code.google.com/apis/adwords/v2009/docs/reference/TargetingIdeaService.html c) The API has various systems to protect against malicious users, but the details of these systems aren't made public.
