Hi,
Need some help please. I get many key phrases that receive no Data for their KEI and number of searches field, why is this happening? How to fix it?
thanks

Just incase you are pulling data that is for a language, that is not English...
In some "language" markets, I find it useful to copy both the "global" search volume and the "local" search volumes (both using "exact match") to a spreadsheet and manually myself choose which of these to use for each keyword (verse just using "local" / "exact match" search volumes all the time).
Basically, I then also manually calculate KEI etc., within my spreadsheet.
What I have noticed is that for some languages the "local" search volume data comes back as "n/a" (not available) for the google adwords tool, while the data is available for "global" search volume (even if using G's own site - so this is not a rank tracker issue)...
The strange thing is, that in some cases, the language I am targeting, is ONLY USED, within ONE country globally e.g. Japanese (so pretty well, that means 99% of the "global" volume is really "local" volume).
So what we should be seeing in those instances is not "local" volume as "n/a", but as almost exactly the same result, as "global" search volume (a google non disclosure of all info / G glitch!!!).
Just an extra comment, incase that is useful to you.
