Hi Everyone,
Google have just made a major change to the Google Keyword Tool which is preventing Market Samurai from gathering keyword data.
Our development team are currently working on a fix for this issue, however it looks like it will not be complete, tested and released by tonight.
I’m very sorry about the disruption that has been caused to you all over the past week and I will keep you up to date on our progress.
As soon as we have an ETA on the fix I will let you know.
Regards
Miriam
Edit: The development team have outdone themselves. We are currently testing a fix and hope to release very soon.
Edit: We have released a fix. Please update and if you have any further trouble let me know.

Thanks for the update, I really love KS, but it requires lots of patience.
Hope you get this all fixed soon, it’s a valuable product !
On my wishlist (I know you have other priorities right now) is making the functions that are just local (project open, click on a different keyword tab, switch from kw research to seo competition etc.) much faster.
My windows 7 PC is blazing fast and still these “simple” and non-internet related actions take about 30 seconds to complete.
Keep up the good work !

I really feel for you all at the moment – in the UK, we have a saying “It never rains but it pours” – it is certainly the case for you guys right now – thanks for keeping us all informed and I’m sure your technical wizards will soon have the problem sorted out.

Hi Miriam,
Thanks for the fix.
I upgraded to v0.87.34, but still cannot get past “Loading Google Keyword Tool”
Do I need to configure something to get it to work ?

Miriam Parkinson replied:
Hi Edwin,
Could you please send in a support ticket with a debug log.
On a PC, you can do this by opening Market Samurai, going to the File menu, then to Settings, then to the tab labelled Debugging and checking the option saying “Log Extended Debugging information”.
On a Mac, go to the Market Samurai menu, then to Preferences, then into the Debugging tab and enabling “Log Extended Debugging information”.
Then retry
It’s vital that you perform your analysis again after enabling debugging, as this is the action that will populate the debugging log with data.
Then go back to the debugging menu and the option to upload the file will be available. Click this button, wait for the file to be uploaded, and take down the number shown in the dialog box and let me know what the number is.
Thanks
Miriam

Hi Miriam,
I’m having the same problem. Sometimes I get asked for the captcha and sometimes not, but either way I can’t get past “Loading Google Keyword Tool”. I have installed the latest version (0.87.34) and also tried reinstalling MS from scratch but didn’t work.
My debug log file is #4099. Please keep us updated.

I’m having the same problem as Edwin. I’ve just uploaded the debugging log file number 4076.

Hi Ryan,
Your log shows that you don’t have the very latest version 0.87.34.
If you go to file->settings->updates and click ‘check for updates’ you will be prompted to update.

Thanks Miriam, the latest update must have been just after I turned MS on. Working great now thanks – it’s Friday night there now go out partying! lol
antonin said:
Hi Dojo!
First, thank you for all the work you seem to do in order to fix the problem.
Still, even after the release, i can’t access to the keyword research. Is it something you still have to fix? Is it because I’m using free version ?? (I will buy the full version very soon !!! )
I hope that everithing is going to be fix soon and that you have the possibility to sleep !
Antonin.

Hi Miriam,
After the update the keyword tool is still loading endlessly. I’ve uploaded a debugging ticket (#4084).
It seems very strange to me, because about one hour ago everything worked fine. It stopped functioning after I added my adwords account.
thanks,

Supposedly they’ve fixed it with their latest update (2/28).
But Rank tracker is all kinds of broken – I have to run it 2 or 3 times to get a result that matches what I can actually see if I check Google manually.

This software has been wonderful for me and has always worked pretty well. I understand that there are some outside influences affecting it at the moment and i’m willing to wait it out. But any idea on when we can see some stability?

We should have the major kinks we’ve been experiencing worked out now – it’s now a matter of tying up loose ends and polishing the fixes we’ve released recently.
The stability should increase over the next few days.

Coach Gary said:
So, once I have the folder/file downloaded, I still can’t do anything with it. AIR tells me that the folder already exists. Good-I guess. But when I log in to MS, I don’t see any way to get into the keyword area! Is this happening to others–or just to me? I only see tabs for home, blog, support, and dojo.

It sounds like you might be accessing our site, rather than our software. You’ll find the software on your computer, most likely in the start menu if you use Windows, or by using the spotlight search on a Mac.

Erm… Funny just login to my Market Samurai program but wasn’t prompt to do any update for the program. Is the update out already? If so, will the MS automatically update itself like in the past?

I have updated to 0.87.34 version since yesterday. But I cannot use the keyword generator and analyzer. It took sooo loooong and finally I only got this message: “Retry limit exceeded. This is often a temporary issue, please try again later.”
But up to now, I still cannot use MS so I think this is not a matter of a temporary issue.
I have tried the following:
- Uninstall and reinstall the MS
- Enabling Log Extended Debugging information
- Disconnect and reconnect the internet connection
But they didn’t work. Please help. What do I suppose to do?
Nick Norris said:
I’m still experiencing some hangups in the keyword research module for some of the SEO metrics. SEOC to be exact. Updated yesterday, and everything appears to be working just fine besides that.
Thanks again. I was reading some of the MS “cracked” threads, and there are literally THOUSANDS of people freaking out that MS no longer works. It made me laugh, because it actually works better now that those losers are no longer able to steal bandwidth.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE! Hackers and blackhatters are feeling the impact of how awesome your tool is. You may even see a spike in sales because of this.

I installed the trial version of MS, but I cannot work with it.The Keyword Reearch always gives an error message:
“The Adwords System says that it is temporarily down for maintenance. Please try again later.”
When I login into the Adwords Keywordtool site everything works well.
The trial period expires soon and I couldn’t research a single keyword.
The support team could not help. Anyone here who have an idea?
P.S.
Maybe it’s important: I’m located in Germany.

Having updated to o.87.35 I still have problems anaylising results. i am trying analyse less 332 keywords yet I have re-analyse and re-analise to try to get all the cells completed and after 7 attempts to analyse it still has data missing from 222 cells.
This means we cannot really take the analyses until all cells have been loaded and I have been on now for four hours.
David Dutch said:
Congratulations Guys on your continued hard work which is appreciated by all MS user’s even the silent majority.
Carried out some research 30 mins ago and got a full return across the columns, now to try a more demanding number of kwds to be analysed.
cheers
Susan said:
Hey guys. Appreciate you trying to get this sorted out. Ever since this started, my rank tracker results have been all over the place. They are just wrong and I can’t depend on the data I get from MS right now. Any ETA on when this might be resolved? Thanks so much.

I love Market Samurai, but I’m looking forward to all these recent issues being resolved. Keep up the hard work guys!
I stopped by because now when updating Rank Tracker and SEO Competition, it seems to bomb out and then close my project all of the sudden.
Best of luck getting past the attacks and getting the Google changes all sorted out. Hopefully, Google will leave things alone for a while after these changes.

Hi,
I just did a search and it says there are no SEOT for terms I know there is SEOT (such as “casinos”, “online casinos” etc). Is there another problem again? I ran the search twice and no change. Came here to check the blog again to see if there was other news but everything is supposed to be fixed?
Anybody else having this problem?

Hi, I’m running 0.87.38 now.
Same problems with previous versions of MS.
Rank Tracker – no results
SEOC – start fetching but no results
I’m patient because I like working with this tool, MS was fast and comfortable but the latest server attacks and API changes have slowed the program. I expect (and hope) that will be resolved soon as it’s very possible that other programs for keyword reseraching begin to sell new features.
