We released version 2.5.0.2 today.

Google made changes to their Keyword Tool recently that broke some of the Keyword Research functionality and this release resolves that issue.

We also had a few bug fixes for the Legacy Campaign builder, so that should be working 100% again for everyone.

We added a few optimizations to improve performance during the campaign building process, specifically the expansion of keywords.

This version should make Keyword Rockstar much more rock solid as we work out the final kinks in all the new functionality introduced in version 2.5

We released version 2.0.2.7.

This version was more of a maintenance release to resolve some new issues presented by Google and also solve a few of the errors people were encountering when using the new Token feature in the content network ads.

Google recently stopped their Sponsored Link Search functionality.  This was a great source of competing ad data and was used by Keyword Rockstar to determine the Total Ad count. However, since they no longer allow access to this data, we had to change our software to account for this.

This version now combines the 1st page ads and the total ad count into one checkbox stat option under PPC Stats to collect.  Also, the total ad count now maxes out at 50 due to the way we had to adapt the way we collect that statistic.  The PPC Rockstar Rank also was updated to account for this change.

We will be having a new release out after the new year with new features, but this release should restore all functionality and eliminate errors experienced during the campaign building process with tokens.

Best wishes,

Jon

We released version 2.0.2.6 of Keyword Rockstar today and it contains a great new feature for the Content Network & Placement Targeted campaigns, along with some bug fixes for the Flash Banner Preview functionality.

Now, you can use tokens in your Content & Placement campaigns just like you can in your Search Campaigns.

This is great for dynamic landing pages or getting the keyword in your text ads.

NOTE: The tokens only work in the Text Ads not the Image Ads. We are working on a solution for possibly implementing that, but we wanted to go ahead and give you the Text Ad Token capability.

Best wishes,

Jon
