Hi Eric, thanks for your reply. However, we cannot find the reason for the behavior we experience, except for maybe this part of the post:
"In addition to these improvements, we’ve also changed how we calculate Global Monthly Searches and Local Monthly Searches. Statistics in these columns are now based on Google.com search traffic only." Surely the intended meaning is not only google.com data, but also data from all other localized google.* sites (such as google.se, google.no, and so on..)? Otherwise the purpose of localized keyword data seems entirely disabled in the backend. We should point out that this seems to be an issue with the whole backend, since we experience this exact behavior (no search volumes for even the "largest" of keywords) in the online AdWords Keyword Tool and not only in the AdWords API. Any ideas on how we approach this issue?
