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 2.0.2.7.

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

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

Keyword Rockstar version 2.0 has been released and includes many major enhancements and a complete overhaul of the data engine to make it faster, use less resources, and much more stable.

Some of the newest features and improvements include:

• You can now stop/resume a running project and it will give you the option of completing the remaining tasks or re-starting the entire project
• Better feedback on task completion using a visual chart
• Import Public Proxies by clicking a button
• Animated .Gif generation for Content Network and Placement Targeted Campaigns
• Better Domain Availability Reporting that includes Search Volume information
• Support for MSN & Yahoo PPC Campaigns

Version 2.0 of Keyword Rockstar marks the maturing of the software as a powerful data retrieval platform and ppc campaign generation tool.

I am very proud of this version and it is just the beginning of what we plan for Keyword Rockstar as both a Keyword Research tool and PPC Campaign Builder.

Best Wishes,

Jon

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
