Is someone else using my API key?

    For the last two weeks, my keyword results will not check all of my google keywords. It says that i have exceeded my daily limit or something like that. I only have 109 keywords to check. Today I went in and was only able to check 1 word before I got this message. I usually check my keywords around 11:00 am EST.

    If I check earlier in the day around 7:00AM EST, I never have a problem.

    How many times a day are you doing it, and how deep do you have your account setup to look?

    109 keywords could take up to 2,180 queries to look 200 deep on each one. There is some more info about specifically how many queries it can take in the FAQ.

    interesting. So why does it make a difference what time of day it is when I run it. And, why was I only able to check one word today?

    They don't reset the API keys at the same time of the day.

    Thanks Shawn. You have saved the day again. I'll change it to check the top 100 and see if that helps.
