Google keyword tool not showing long tails now?

[Fking]

I don't know if this is related with the other problem, where it shows much less searches now, but while researching a brand of watch i found it doesnt want to show me any long tails.

- the brand name alone gets 500k searches per month, so it isnt some unpopular one, with not enough data
- im checking "Ideas containing my search terms" so it shows just the long tails no synonyms or related
- and it outputs just the brand name, not even a single additional phrase
- i entered manually couple of long tails, and there IS data for them, and they get quite a lot searches, but it doesnt output them.
- i did few other brands for test, and it did output lots of long tails for them.
- it's the same with the legacy tool (and because of that the same with MS as well)


Is that just from now or you've experienced such behavior and before?
Where would you advise me to try as well to get that data?

thanks!

It's possible that the brand owner doesn't allow the brand name to be used in Adwords ads, so G doesn't include it in search number results (the keyword tool is supposed to be an Adwords tool). This happens with other brand names too: try putting "lego" in the keyword tool and see what you get.

yes, that makes perfect sense

btw, for lego i get 31 phrases from the same tool.

Try the old keyword tool. It still has the long tails there.
I'm not using the new Beta version for that reason (if I understand your post correctly)
There's a button near top right corner that says 'Previous Interface'

Hope that helps
