Is this new or am I losing my mind? It was first brought to my attention yesterday by a couple of people in a forum I moderate who regularly use AKP.
The Adwords Keyword tool is returning search volume totals for close variants instead of separate values per keyword. Makes sense from an Adwords standpoint (since they use close variants for all match types), but I think it's new in this tool?
Doesn't matter what match type you use when you enter them, and entering some variants as negative match doesn't change it either (unless you null out your entire list).
I was doing a lot of keyword research last week - I think this would have jumped out at me!
BTW, if you add the individual keywords to your plan and download your plan, the CSV will have the ungrouped search volume per keyword:
However, if you click "download" from ABOVE the list of results, you get the grouped values as shown on-screen.
