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,

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

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 are excited to release version 2.0.1.10 today!

This is the first version in the direction we are taking to remove the manual proxy maintenance and to automate it.

Here are the changes:

• Filtering Section, Step 7 – Now you can pre-filter your additional stats collection based on the initial stats of the keywords returned by the Google Keyword Tool.  This allows you to only get data for the keywords that meet a minimum criteria you specify.
• Proxies are global – Proxies are now global across all projects and are only tested the first time KR is launched and a project is started.  They are not tested on each project like before, you now only select which country you want to filter the proxies to in Step 8 of the project settings.

Bug Fixes

• Image Ads should work for all text entered now.
• Yahoo & MSN campaigns work for Content Network Campaigns (no more missing keywords)
• Project Running but no data being returned
• URL Seeds return data

This version has a good bit of improvements in speed and also general bug fixes based on the feedback we have gotten from you.

Looking forward to releasing more improvements over the next few weeks.

Best Wishes,

Jon
