TargetingIdeaSelector to filter results properly
HI Guys,
We use the targetingideaservice to get alternative keywords but we are
getting 3 results for every seed keyword which I understand is for,
broad,exact and phrase. But it is all exactly the same.
cheap airline tickets/EXACT
cheap airline tickets/BROAD
cheap airline tickets/PHRASE
airline tickets/BROAD
airline tickets/EXACT
airline tickets/PHRASE
In the Adwords API Blog I found this code:
// Using the same keyword from above, filter by removing the
original
// keyword, by keeping the same match type, and by only choosing
// "long-tail" keywords.
new ExcludedKeywordSearchParameter(null, new Keyword[] {keyword}),
new KeywordMatchTypeSearchParameter(null,
new KeywordMatchType[] {keyword.getMatchType()}),
new CompetitionSearchParameter(null,
new CompetitionSearchParameterLevel[] {
CompetitionSearchParameterLevel.LOW}),
The results are now more interesting:
legion air tickets/BROAD
air tram tickets/BROAD
block air tickets/BROAD
sheap air tickets/BROAD
cheap airfare tracker/BROAD
cheap airfare forum/BROAD
I want to be able to get the keywords in the second format, but the
code in the blog is not working it is seems to be of an older version
of the library.
Can anyone please help me to remove the duplicate entries from the
results?
Here is my current code if someone needs to see it.
Thanks
try
{
// Get the TargetingIdeaService.
TargetingIdeaService targetingIdeaService =
(TargetingIdeaService)user.GetService(AdWordsService.v200909.TargetingIdeaService);
string keywordText = strSeedKeyword;
Keyword keyword = new Keyword();
keyword.text = keywordText;
keyword.matchTypeSpecified = true;
keyword.matchType = thisKeyWordType;
RelatedToKeywordSearchParameter searchParameter = new
RelatedToKeywordSearchParameter();
searchParameter.keywords = new Keyword[] { keyword };
TargetingIdeaSelector selector = new
TargetingIdeaSelector();
selector.searchParameters = new SearchParameter[]
{ searchParameter };
selector.ideaTypeSpecified = true;
selector.ideaType = IdeaType.KEYWORD;
selector.requestTypeSpecified = true;
selector.requestType = RequestType.IDEAS;
Paging paging = new Paging();
paging.startIndex = 0;
paging.startIndexSpecified = true;
paging.numberResults = seedResults;

idea.data)
{
if (entry.key == AttributeType.KEYWORD)
{
KeywordAttribute kwdAttribute =
entry.value as KeywordAttribute;
seedVariations.Add(kwdAttribute.value.text);
}
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{

Re: estimateKeywordList returns 0 for everything
Hey Guys!
Just to let you know,
I found the problem. Turns out I had the MaxCPC too low so no keywords
were returned.

Re: estimateKeywordList returns 0 for everything
Hi Eric,
Thanks for the response.
Please have a look at this:
This is the constructor for my adwords class:
Dictionary headers = new Dictionary();
headers.Add("email", email);
headers.Add("password", password);
headers.Add("useragent", useragent);
headers.Add("developerToken", developerToken);
headers.Add("applicationToken", applicationToken);
headers.Add("clientEmail", clientEmail);
// Create a custom AdWordsUser.
user = new AdWordsUser(headers);
// Remove this line if you want to run this sample against
production account.
//user.UseSandbox();
All I did when we got the developer token approved is update the
variables with the real email,pass and dev token. I then just added my
personal adwords account as a client (because all we want to do is get
traffic estimates and alternative keywords) and then I commented this
line:
// Remove this line if you want to run this sample against
production account.
//user.UseSandbox();
Is there something else that I should have done?
About the keywords, I have been trying various keywords and none of
them returned anything. Keywords that included "making money online",
"sleeping bags", "headlines"
Please advise.
Thank you very much.
Riaan

Re: estimateKeywordList returns 0 for everything
Hi Guys,
Can anyone please point out what I am doing wrong here.
Here is my code.
Our developer token has been approved and we did complete the billing
section of adwords so there are no holds on the account.
try
{
// Get the service.
TrafficEstimatorService service =
(TrafficEstimatorService)user.GetService(AdWordsService.v13.TrafficEstimatorService);
// Set the attributes of the keywords to be estimated.
KeywordRequest myKeyword = new KeywordRequest();
myKeyword.text = strKeyword;
myKeyword.maxCpc = 5;
myKeyword.maxCpcSpecified = true;
myKeyword.type = thisKeywordType;
myKeyword.typeSpecified = true;
// To estimate more keywords, create more KeywordRequest
objects
// and add them to the list of keyword to estimate.
KeywordRequest[] keyReqs = new KeywordRequest[]
{ myKeyword };
// Estimate traffic for given keywords.
KeywordEstimate[] estimates =
service.estimateKeywordList(keyReqs);
if (estimates != null)
{
for (int i = 0; i < estimates.Length; i++)
{
KeywordEstimate estimate = estimates[i];
lowerClicksPerDay = estimate.lowerClicksPerDay;
upperClicksPerDay = estimate.upperClicksPerDay;
lowerCPC = estimate.lowerCpc;
upperCPC = estimate.upperCpc;
lowerAVGPos = estimate.lowerAvgPosition;
upperAVGPos = estimate.upperAvgPosition;
}
}
else
return;
}

estimateKeywordList returns 0 for everything
Hi, We have used your sandbox feature to develop an application and received some mock data from your sandbox server. However since we created a new account and got the developer token approved that same code is not working anymore. I have even used your own code sample to make sure that I am doing everything right. I tried this class (http://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-dotnet/source/ browse/trunk/Examples/v13/KeywordEstimateDemo.cs) The problem is that I get 1 estimate back from the api but all the following values are set to 0: estimate.lowerClicksPerDay; estimate.upperClicksPerDay; estimate.lowerCpc; estimate.upperCpc; estimate.lowerAvgPosition; estimate.upperAvgPosition; id and idField is also set to "-1" Can you please help The developer token is working because we also use the AdWordsService.v200909.TargetingIdeaService and that seems to be returning proper keyword variations. -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://adwordsapi.blogspot.com http://groups.google.com/group/adwords-api =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API Forum" group.
