Version 2.0.1.10 Released – New Features

August 9th, 2009

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
