    I can't get my KW and BL to update. Is this down at the moment? Anyone else having trouble?

    That is the same thing happening to me. It won't refresh at all. Although I am able to check individual keywords and backlinks but the check all is doing nothing.

    Let it run for awhile... there are a LOT of check all threads running right now, so they are probably going to be slow if you aren't using the advanced usage script.

    Mine has not been refreshing for hours, even after loging in and out a couple of times.

    I changed the Google key in the "preferences" and saved it.

    Might have been a coincidence.

    This probably has nothing to do with it but........this came fron Optilink today.

    I just uploaded release 3.3.2 with a SIGNIFICANT
    CHANGE. A few days ago, Google began to employ a
    "spyware detector" that will in some cases block
    OptiLink through the use of a cookie and a human
    visible "ransom note".

    The use of Google from "normal" browsers is not
    effected -- it is only specialized programs such
    as OptiLink that are targeted by Google's change
    with the result that OptiLink can be blocked
    from Google for two or more hours.

    While this is not a terrible problem as no lasting
    impact has been found, I am not comfortable with
    Google being able to discover the use of OptiLink
    no mattter how "gentle" the counter-measures
    might be.

    So, OptiLink's Goolge interface has been REMOVED
    pending a solution to this problem. This has been
    done for your safety, and for the safety of all other
    OptiLink users.

    Rest assured that this problem will be solved and
    Google access restored as soon as possible, but in
    the meantime, you should use the Yahoo and MSN
    interfaces for your Google ranking analysis.

    With the extensive filtering that Google does on
    its linking information, the loss of the Google
    interface in many cases is not that important.

    In general, you can do your linking analysis using
    the Yahoo or MSN link databases and safely assume
    that Google has these links as well, but are
    simply not showing them. The exception to this
    rule is of course the "banned domain" which appears
    to be a uniquely Google concept.

    Moreover, since the Google PageRank feature did
    not seem to be impacted by this change, it has
    been left enabled in your copy of OptiLink. Of
    course, if you experience ANY difficulty at all
    with the Fetch PR function, please email support
    immediately.


    My Thoughts on the Future

    It is certainly well known that Google does not
    look with favor upon SEO tools in general, and most
    especially tools that make use of its interfaces,
    so some sort of reaction is not totally unexpected.

    OptiLink has been in very active use and continuous
    development since May 22, 2002, and has been on
    Google's "short list" since the moment they called
    me (true story) just 10 days after it was announced.

    What is most amazing to me, is how long it has taken
    them to charactize the (subtle, but unique) query
    footprint that OptiLink leaves behind.

    Building and maintaining SEO tools, just like the
    doing of SEO, creates an "arms race". Today Google
    has "uped the ante" so tomorrow us tool developers
    will respond and adapt and the game goes on.

    I have been a professional programmer since 1974,
    and I am not planning on retiring anytime soon,
    so you can expect this race to continue for some time.

    Best regards

    Leslie Rohde

    The keyword tracker uses the Google API, not the normal www.google.com URL (with screen scraping).

    I can't get the tracker to work anymore. It checks the links then just craps out. After checking the links, it just stops and does not actually check the k/w's and it stops showing the number of links left to check. It just stops. It's been like this for three or four days now. And no, I have not made any chages to my profile.

    I'll give that a try since nothing else seems to resolve the problem.
