Traffic Estimator Not Showing Data for Trademark keywords?

Discussion in 'Google AdWords' started by johndoes, Sep 26, 2010.

    I'm not sure if it's only in my account or not but when I try to get the traffic data using traffic estimator "Local Monthly Searches" returns a dash (-) for some keywords.

    I narrowed down the issue to trademarked words.

    Does anyone else have the same problem?

    Thanks,

    nope, are you sure the terms you are putting in are not too narrow, so there are not enough monthly searches to do the estimate?

    Well a few days ago same keywords showed about 100k results. It cant go down to zero. Besides I checked some sure keywords and the resuls are weird:

    iphone -
    phone 55600000
    buy phone 301000
    free iphone -
    win phone 18100
    free gadgets 33100
    free phone -

    Strange

    no its not. I found that phrase after I started the thread so right now I have no clue. But none of the trademarked terms yield results. thats a sure thing

    it is probably the same thing as a random number of total search results that google shows when you flip through search results pages...
