Kevin, thanks for responding. At this point, I wonder if there may be a bug in the adwords reports. Please tell me if you agree.
I ran across http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=145453&ctx=top5&src=top5 while trying to solve something unrelated. I can see how reason #3 given there would explain why, generally speaking, it might be possible to sometimes have a keyword on a given day that has a conversion but no cost or clicks [to summarize: b/c the click(s) were determined to be invalid clicks and removed]. For one of the three examples I gave, that seems plausible. However, I took your advice and looked in the adwords UI for this client, looking at the keywords tab and limiting it to just the individual days of interest. For the occasion on 5/22/2011, the adwords UI agrees and shows the conversion and matching conversion value, with 0 clicks and 0 cost. However, for the 5/19/2011 and 6/4/2011 instances, the adwords UI does not agree with the v201101 keyword performance and search performance reports. Both v201101 reports return that there were 0 clicks and 0 cost for the given keywords on that day, yet a conversion with some value, but the adwords UI agrees with the conversion and its value, but list a click and associated cost. Shouldn't the adwords UI and the reports agree?
