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 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
