We have released version 1.0.5.4 of Keyword Rockstar today!

This version includes several new features that will tremendously improve the speed at which you generate PPC campaigns.

It also includes a few bug fixes and a change to the output of the Generated Campaigns.

New Features

1) Super Powerful Adwords Search Campaign Generator

2) Generate Content Network Campaigns and Create Adgroups Based on the original Seed for the keyword

Bug Fixes

1) The generated image ads should work much better now for various length text ads.

Output Change

1) All of the generated campaign output is now “Tab” delimited instead of “Comma” delimited so that you can use commas in your ads without causing a problem.

Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to make the training videos for the new features yet.  But they will be ready early next week.

Here are just a few of the ways you can use the new Powerful Search Generator:

1) Append keywords to original keywords

2) Prepend keywords to original keywords

3) Both Prepend and Append keywords to original keywords

4) Pair Keywords

5) Auto-Generate Domain Name variations from keywords

6) Auto-Generate Misspellings for Keywords

7) Include Auto-Generated Tracking Id’s for keywords

Include Tracking 202 Pro Parameters Automatically for Destination Urls.

9) Use Tokens to build ads and destination urls from your original or final keywords

10) Creates .csv text for all keywords and their tracking id’s

11) Specify how many keywords you want in each adgroup

12) Specify how many adgroups you want in each campaign

13) Includes 50 pre-populated lists to quickly generate Geo-Targeted or Industry Targeted Campaigns, such as US Cities, UK Cities, Australia Cities, Top 1000 Actors, Top 1000 Movies, Occupations, Baby Products, etc..

14) Specify individual bid prices for Broad, Phrase, & Match types.

15) Much More!!

I can’t even do it justice in this blog post.  It is so flexible and powerful, you will be amazed!

We’ll have the videos up next week.  We would get them up sooner, but we are going to PPC Classroom Live in Las Vegas this weekend to share some Keyword Rockstar love!

If any of you are there, be sure to look for me.  I’ll be easy to spot with my Keyword Rockstar shirt on.

Best Wishes,

Version 1.0.5.2 has been released and includes some great new features, enhancements and bug fixes.

Here is a list of improvements:

1) Content Campaign Generator now allows you to specify multiple themes for an adgroup. Simply separate the themes by a comma on the same line.

2) Content Campaign Generator now allows you to specify the number of keywords per adgroup, the number of adgroups per campaign and whether you want to separate the text ads and image ads into different adgroups or campaigns.

3) Placement Campaign Generator now allows you to specify the number of adgroups per campaign and whether you want to separate the text ads and image ads into different adgroups or campaigns.

4) Major enhancement in memory usage.  You should notice a significant decrease in memory usage for long running projects.  We are working on even more optimization in this area, but this release contains a major improvement.

5) Results grid will now return you to the same spot after you hit the refresh button. No more ending up in a different match type after refreshing.

6) You can now “Save” your grid layout and “Restore” to the default layout.  If you want to hide columns and save that layout for all projects, then simply hit the “Save Layout” button and it will remember which columns to view across all projects.  You can also hit “Restore Layout” button if you want to return to the default layout.

7) Deleting Keywords – You now have the ability to delete just the selected keywords or all match types of the selected keywords (or cancel and not delete any).

There were also various bug fixes in the context menus to prevent the program crashing if grouping rows were selected.

We will have another release next week that will include the Search Campaign Generator.  It is very close to being finished.

Best Wishes,

Jon

We have released version 1.0.5.1 with a new feature and a few minor bug fixes.

Many of our users have asked for the ability to not expand the seed keywords, but rather just retrieve the data for them.  This is most useful if you already have a keyword list that you just want to get the statistics for.

This version now gives you that option.

If you just want to retrieve the stats for a keyword list and not have that list be expanded by the Google Keyword Tool, simply select Recursion Level 0 when you create your project.

This will prevent the expansion of the seed with synonyms and only retrieve the stats for the keywords you enter into the seed textbox.

This version also addressed an issue that a few people were having with the AllInTitle search.

Version 1.0.5.0 of Keyword Rockstar is now released.

This version includes some major enhancements to the Google Content Network Campaign Generator, including automatic grouping of adgroups around theme seed keywords.

It also includes a new Google Placement Targeted Campaign Generator.

Both of these generators are able to now automatically generate Image Text Ads in all the sizes that Google accepts for banner advertising.  You can also include your own banners in the campaign generation.

Please watch the new advanced training videos at http://www.keywordrockstar.com/videos.php

Other Features/Bug Fixes include:

• Delete Button on Keyboard will now delete selected keywords in Results Grid
• Duplicate Keywords Returned by Google for a project are automatically filtered out
• Duplicate Placements are automatically filtered out
• Log To File Functionality to Help Us Trace Individual Problems More Easily

NOTE: The next version released will contain a Search Campaign Generator to complete all PPC Campaign Generation functionality.
