    Someone seems to be spamming

    I've got a whole list of cigarette ads as threads on the KWT page for new posts - but no thread when I follow it!

    I caught the spammer in the act and called Shawn, so he removed the threads. The KW Tracker just hasn't updated the "newest posts" yet. ;)

    I was checking my KW ranking when I noticed it too...I guess I was just a couple clicks ahead of you :D

    It should show instantly, so you may want to double check to make sure the feed is correct.

    "It should show instantly, so you may want to double check to make sure the feed is correct."

    This is what puzzles me I think I might move it from blogspot to one of my sites.

    You need to put the URL of your XML feed (not the blog root). :)

    Don't know if anyone else noticed, but look at some of the timestamps above - some people are either up pretty late at night or up WAY too early in the morning - nice work VS and DP taking out the spammers - gawd, they suck.
