Re: Bid Simulator returning 0 clicks for KWs that get consistent traffic
Hi Joel, That's good news, as it means the API is returning the correct data. I believe that the Bid Simulator only returns click estimates when it has enough certainty, and under some threshold will only return impression estimates. In cases where there are no click estimates are available, the API will return all zeros.

Re: Bid Simulator returning 0 clicks for KWs that get consistent traffic
Hi Eric, the web UI matches the API. The Bid Simulator does return values for Impressions, but 0 for clicks at all bid levels. The keywords I gave as examples do average several clicks/day so it's not correct that there are 0 clicks showing in the bid simulator. Thanks!

Re: Bid Simulator returning 0 clicks for KWs that get consistent traffic
Hi Joel, Does the AdWords web interface show the same results in the bid simulator dialog? Are other attributes (not clicks) being returned with non-zero values? Keywords with no bid simulator data shouldn't appear in the response at all.

Bid Simulator returning 0 clicks for KWs that get consistent traffic
It seems as if most of the keywords that I submit to the bid simulator return landscape points showing 0 clicks at all bid landscape points. This occurs even on keywords that currently receive fairly consistent traffic. Here are some example keyword ids that are live and getting traffic, but for which the bid simulator shows 0 clicks. 18809556142 37388191 12693113821 Is there any particular reason why so many don't have valid data? Is this an AdWords bug or are there ways to identify keywords that won't have bid simulator data?
