Results Tanked. not in top 200 for 90% of keywords

    Hi.
    I am stunned. I just ran the Keyword Tracker. Out of the 121 listings I check, only about 20 aren't showing N/A -9,000 -9,0000.

    Of course the ones that didn't go N/A are not my top keywords.
    What in the world happened? My number ones are not in the top 200 ?

    I went to the Keyword Tracker forum to see if anyone reported it broken. But, no one seems to be having problems with it.

    So, then I clicked over to Google. I keyed in a keyword that is usually #1 that now says N/A. And, it still appeared at number 1 spot for me. So, the Keyword Tracker is using a different DataCenter. Does this mean this is what to come? Are all my rankings dropping ?

    The timing is horrible. This is usually the time when I get the most orders.

    Seeing all these N/As and Red -9,000 numbers on the results pages is scary.

    We are seeing same thing. When I attempt to manually run tracker am getting Unknown Google Server Error. I think we both hit Google when the API bot or whatever it is called was throwing a temper tantrum.

    Heard yesterday called Black Friday, for us this is red Saturday. Time to move on and worry about this later. The Google God is in a funk.

    Hi Shannon.
    Thank you for letting me know that you are having the same problem.
    I think I can start breathing again.

    Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. :)

    Shawn said problem was associated with Google's front end proxy load balancer or some such. This is first time I have seen this problem to this degree.
