Thread: The Google AdWords Keyword Tool is Hiding Keywords from You!

Do a search for vacation deals on Google's Keyword Tool.



What? No Mexico?!?!? I thought everybody loved Mexico?

Let's ask again! I'm sure that Google just forgot to tell us.



I wonder why Google decided not to tell us about this keyword until we asked specifically?

Mexico Vacation Deals has a Global Monthly Search Volume (Exact) of 33,100. That's about half of the 60,500 Global Monthly Search Volume (Exact) for Caribbean vacation deals. It should be the #3 item in the list above.

I wonder why Google is reporting less data than it knows?

Even if we don't know why Google isn't reporting this, at least by knowing there is a problem we can try to work around it. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting. I have noticed that before as well for several city name related keyword.

Hey Will,
Agree! Though, I did find if you click "Use Synonyms" mexico vacation deals shows up about 30 results down.

I just did the exact same search and "mexico vacation deals" was showing right where it's supposed to be. Do you think it might have been a glitch?

Oh, just noticed Will didn't have the "use synonyms" option checked. I guess that's what causes the difference then. Better keep it checked
