I had a cron job set up for ages to do a nightly update, and it was working fine, but today I see that all rankings are null and "last update" is October 2nd. I've already checked the new tool and it was working fine. All of a sudden updates are not happening. How do I know why and what to do about it? Here's my string used in a cron job: http://userassword@www.digitalpoint.com/tools/keywords/?action=lookupall Cutting and pasting this string into the browser with either the old user/password or changing it to new user/password does not trigger login and check.
The old cron method is not supported any longer because the system does not use HTTP AUTH for login/password anymore. You would need to actually click the "Check All Rankings" link to run the check all.
Thanks for the reply. That's too bad. Of course I can't complain considering this is a free service, however this was a very nice arrangement. Being limited for 20 position check is OK for a free service, but not being able to run it automatically is very inconvenient... That was the best reason to use this service...
You could probably hack together a way to think the system is logged in as you, and then run the check-all, but would be rather tricky I would think.
