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

Best wishes,

I am happy to announce the new release of Keyword Rockstar version 2.0.2.3!

This version includes brand new powerful Flash Image Ad functionality and allows people to fully customize their ads.

The campaign builders also allow for separate text for the image ads and the text ads, so you no longer have to have them be the same.

The upgrade should be a smooth process for all users except those on a 64 bit OS.

If you are using a 64 bit OS, you will need to uninstall Keyword Rockstar and re-install from our website. You will not lose any data during this process.

We have a lot of improvements planned for Keyword Rockstar and this is the foundational release that starts it off.

Best wishes,

Jon

We released a minor updated version today that includes some bug fixes, optimizations and new functionality to access the community site Keyword Rockstar Family.

Now, you can simply click the button inside the application to launch the community site in your default web browser.

We wanted to make sure everyone had easy access to the forum, case studies, and member blogs.

Best wishes,

Jon

Version 1.0.5.3 of Keyword Rockstar was released.

This version fixes several bugs that were affecting our International customers.

It was strictly a maintenance release with no new functionality.

The next release will contain new functionality.

Best Wishes,

We have just released a new version of Keyword Rockstar today!

It includes one new feature that was requested by one of our customers and three new features that we thought you should have. It also includes a bug fix for filtering the average cpc column.

New Features:

1. Auto Generate a Google Adwords Content Network Campaign for your selected keywords.
2. Collect a new SEO category statistic using the advanced search feature that Google offers called “allintitle:”
3. Show/Hide Grid Columns Easily
4. Minimize Status/Progress Area to Maximize Screen space when looking at results

Bug Fix:

1. The Estimated Average CPC column will now filter properly.

There will be a video in a separate blog post, showing how to take advantage of these new features. However, here is a little more detail on each one.

Auto Generate Google Adwords Content Network Campaign –

I have created a video for our users that shows how you can take a CPA offer and generate a Content Network Campaign with over 1500 relevant keywords using Keyword Rockstar in under 30 minutes, with only about 10 minutes of your time.  The remaining time is the automated collection of keywords for the campaign.

If you haven’t seen that video, you MUST watch it at http://www.keywordrockstar.com/viptraining.php

At the end of the video, I use this new feature and show you how to easily get the campaign generated into the Adwords editor and upload it to your account.

New “AllInTitle” Statistic Option -

This great feature was actually requested by one of our customers.  We felt that it was an excellent suggestion and decided to go ahead and put that functionality into this release.

It allows you to automatically collect the number of competing pages that have the keyword in the title of the page.  It is the same as using allintitle:kw when you search google.

One thing to remember is that Keyword Rockstar distinguishes between the various match types.  Most people will want to see the exact match AllInTitle statistic because that is the same as doing the following when searching Google:  allintitle:”kw”

So, be sure to not collect this stat for anything but Exact Match type in Keyword Rocsktar if you are only interested in the keyword being surrounded by quotes when it searches.

Show/Hide Grid Columns

This feature allows you to quickly hide columns in the grid that you are not interested in looking at or don’t have data for.  It allows you to focus only on what you want to see in the grid. 

Once a column is hidden, you can easily show it again.

Minimize Status Bar Area

This is another feature that is meant to help you see as much data at once as you can.  Now, you can simply minimize the “Star Bar” area whenever you want.  This is especially useful for people that are using smaller monitors or laptops.

Things to Come

We have a lot of features planned over the next few months that we are going to give you.  Also, if there is anything that you would like it to do, please use the feature request to let us know.  We will do our best to make it happen.

Best Wishes,

Jon
