In the document, it says :(which is very confusing) SEARCH_VOLUME Represents either the (approximate) number of searches for the given keyword idea on google.com or google.com and partners, depending on the user's targeting. TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHESRepresents the (approximated) number of searches on this keyword idea (as available for the past twelve months), targeted to the specified geographies. My call get the following response (pasted below) *Could some one please tell me why there is no value in TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES, but SEARCH_VOLUME is 408?* ** <entries> <data> <key>KEYWORD_TEXT</key> <value xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="StringAttribute"> <Attribute.Type>StringAttribute</Attribute.Type> <value>031 stihl</value> </value> </data> <data> <key>AVERAGE_CPC</key> <value xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="MoneyAttribute"> <Attribute.Type>MoneyAttribute</Attribute.Type> <value> <ns2:ComparableValue.Type>Money</ns2:ComparableValue.Type> <ns2:microAmount>130816</ns2:microAmount> </value> </value> </data> <data> <key>TARGETED_MONTHLY_SEARCHES</key> <value xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="MonthlySearchVolumeAttribute"> <Attribute.Type>MonthlySearchVolumeAttribute</Attribute.Type> <value> <year>2013</year> <month>2</month> </value> <value> <year>2013</year> <month>1</month> </value> <value> <year>2012</year> <month>12</month> </value> <value> <year>2012</year> <month>11</month> </value> <value> <year>2012</year> <month>10</month> </value> <value> <year>2012</year> <month>9</month> </value> <value> <year>2012</year> <month>8</month> </value> <value> <year>2012</year> <month>7</month> </value> <value> <year>2012</year> <month>6</month> </value> <value> <year>2012</year> <month>5</month> </value> <value> <year>2012</year> <month>4</month> </value> <value> <year>2012</year> <month>3</month> </value> </value> </data> <data> <key>SEARCH_VOLUME</key> <value xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="LongAttribute"> <Attribute.Type>LongAttribute</Attribute.Type> <value>480</value> </value> </data> <data> <key>COMPETITION</key> <value xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="DoubleAttribute"> <Attribute.Type>DoubleAttribute</Attribute.Type> <value>0.608</value> </value> </data> </entries> Thanks, James
