Hi,

That's correct -- the API cannot provide an estimate of *distinct*impressions 
for a set of keywords. It can only give you an estimate for 
each keyword.

Cheers,

Re: How do I use the TrafficEstimatorService in the PHP library with Verticals?

2014-05-20 Thread Scott Luther
Hi Josh,

Now I see. For each Keyword we send to the TrafficEstimatorService API, we 
get a keywordEstimate back. That's where the confusion was for me, 
because when I first looked I must have missed the additional values in the 
response.

In any case, I'm still not quite sure how to determine how many people it's 
estimated the ad will reach when three Keywords are targeted together. 
Right now we're calculating an average based on the minimum and maximum on 
a per-Keyword basis. Can I just calculate the average of each individual 
keyword and add it all together to get an average for all keywords combined?

 The API uses the provided search terms to get a list of all keywords

Re: How do I use the TrafficEstimatorService in the PHP library with Verticals?

2014-05-19 Thread Scott Luther
Hi Josh,

We aren't seeing the number fluctuate for individual keywords - we are 
expecting that adding keywords will increase the impressions.

We are submitting the following keywords (with a type of BROAD): cruise, 
cat, dog.

If it were an OR wouldn't it add the amount for each of those individual 
keywords into one total? Or am I not understanding how this API is meant to 
work? Shouldn't adding more keywords increase the number of people who see 
the ad?

 Hi,

 To answer your first question, you can get historical volumes using the 
 following 
 SearchParameterhttps://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/TargetingIdeaService.TargetingIdeaSelector#searchParameters
  subtypes:

- Verticals - 
 CategoryProductsAndServicesSearchParameterhttps://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/TargetingIdeaService.CategoryProductsAndServicesSearchParameter
- Keywords - 
 RelatedToQuerySearchParameterhttps://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/TargetingIdeaService.RelatedToQuerySearchParameter
- Age - not available
- Gender - not available
- Location - 
 LocationSearchParameterhttps://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/TargetingIdeaService.LocationSearchParameter.html

 Regarding your second question on OR vs. AND, since each entries element 
 in the response contains a specific value for *KEYWORD_TEXT* and 
 corresponding values for each other attribute type requested, I would not 
 expect the attribute values to change for a single value of *KEYWORD_TEXT* 
 unless 
 there were other differences in search parameters in addition to the 
 differences in *RelatedToQuerySearchParameter* values. If you have 
 examples of requests, responses, and specific keywords where you are seeing 
 differences on a per-*KEYWORD_TEXT* basis, please send them along with 
 your customer ID *only to me* by clicking *Reply to Author*.

Re: How do I use the TrafficEstimatorService in the PHP library with Verticals?

2014-05-19 Thread Josh Radcliff (AdWords API Team)
Hi,

The API does not quite work the way you described. The service returns 
various phrases related to the keywords (and other parameters) you provide, 
but a given keyword's volume won't be affected by the number of terms that 
are associated with that keyword in your request. For example, if I include 
flowers as a search term parameter or I include both flowers and 
bouquet as search term parameters, the volume for a related term such as 
flower shop will be the *same* in both responses.

Another way to look at it is that the service has a big dictionary keyed by 
keyword where the value is that keyword's volume. The search terms you 
provide simply determine which keys the API pulls from that dictionary, but 
the value for a given key (keyword) will not change.

Josh, AdWords API Team

Hi Scott,

Sorry -- I just realized that you were asking about the

not the 
TargetingIdeaServicehttps://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/TargetingIdeaService.
 
*TrafficEstimatorService* does not allow you to get estimates based on 
verticals. However, you could use the approach I mentioned below to get 
*historical* volumes for verticals from *TargetingIdeaService* (vs. 
*predicted* future volumes from *TrafficEstimatorService*).

 Hi Ray,

 So there is no way to determine the reach for a Vertical?

 My apologies - vertical cannot be used in the TES service.  The accepted

Re: How do I use the TrafficEstimatorService in the PHP library with Verticals?

Hi Josh,

Will that allow us to get historical values for a combination of Verticals, 
Keywords, Age, Gender, and Location?

 not the 
 TargetingIdeaServicehttps://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/TargetingIdeaService.
  
 *TrafficEstimatorService* does not allow you to get estimates based on 
 verticals. However, you could use the approach I mentioned below to get 
 *historical* volumes for verticals from *TargetingIdeaService* (vs. 
 *predicted* future volumes from *TrafficEstimatorService*).

Re: How do I use the TrafficEstimatorService in the PHP library with Verticals?

2014-05-16 Thread Scott Luther
Hi Josh,

One more question - is there a way to OR the keywords instead of AND them? 
Currently, when I submit more than one keyword, it seems that the max 
impressionsPerDay drops. We are currently doing a broad keyword search.

Thanks so much for your help!
- Scott

Scott,

I feel this example PHP 
filehttps://github.com/googleads/googleads-php-lib/blob/master/examples/AdWords/v201402/Optimization/EstimateKeywordTraffic.phpcould
 be a good starting point.  You can add 
a Vertical 
criteriahttps://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/TrafficEstimatorService.CampaignEstimateRequest,
 
e.g.,

$vertical = ... // vertical retrieved from the ConstantDataService
$campaignEstimateRequest-criteria[] = $vertical; // append the array w/ 
the vertical criterion.

Cheers,

Ray

Hi Ray,

Unfortunately, that doesn't work. The docs say that only Location and 
Language are supported, and when I try to add a Vertical, this error is 
thrown:

SoapFault: [NotEmptyError.EMPTY_LIST @
