Problem with international characters in kw

    A few weeks ago all my keywords that contains international (swedish) characters got a N/A ranking. All other keywords get the correct ranking.

    I thouhgt that it might be a temporary error, but the rankings for the keywords with swedish characters is still showed as N/A.

    An example of the messed up keywords are: temperatur linköping

    I've searched the forum, but couldn't find anyone else reporting this problem. So my question is if anyone else have noticed this?

    try converting your swedish characters to extended characters eg. linköping --> linköping .

    I convert my French special characters to this and I never had any problems. But if I don't, then I get a lot of ? and other wierd characters in Google.

    It works for me when I try that keyword/URL combo. Do you have any restrictions set under your account settings?

    This is really really strange, now the query for "temperatur linköping" works, but none of the the other with swedish chars. I've tried to enter the special chars as extended characters, still no success.

    If there ain't a quick fix don't spend any time on it for my sake, it doesn't matter that much to me!

    Well I didn't change anything on this end... so if it started working it must be data center flux or something.
