Many internet marketers and google adwords users are scratching their heads wondering how to go on with a game plan. The google keyword tool gives cost and placement estimates per keyword. It's kind of a crucial tool that Ive been using and am finding it difficult to live without. How do you estimate how much you're going to pay per click? How do you find low cost clicks to base your ads on. I emailed google from the support inside my account. I dont expect an answer but its worth a shot.
I've looked everywhere, but it seems the only people talking about this issue are members of the digital point forums where I found out that, some of overture's (yahoo) tools are broken as well. coincidence?
I checked Out Matt Cutts blog. Matt cut "joined Google as a software engineer in January 2000" if anyone would know he would, but theres NOTHING posted on his blog about it! Maybe its hush hush. but so many people are cut off from the tools they need to survive on the internet.
One more note, the keword suggestion tool on seobook has also been down for quite a while. This tool shows how many people searched for a keyword per month. Results show for google, yahoo and msn, and the tool links to overture, google suggest, and googles external keyword tool.
These guys are on top of things. If they're not tellin i want to know what the hecks goin on!?
