Strange results in the keyword tracker...

    I (almost) got a small heart attack today after running the Keyword tracker..

    I was quite shocked to find out that many (15-20) of my keywords had dropped by 40 to 60...
    I rushed to google and tried them there, but the results were the same as yesterday (even better for a couple of them).
    So I tried to manually click each keyword in the tracker, and they did (luckilly) go back to the normal numbers again..

    I haven't experienced that keywords have dropped (in error) by only 40 to 60 before, they usually have dropped by 9987 etc...
    And I've never experienced that so many keywords have been wrong at once either...

    Anyone else seen this happening?
    An error in the tracker or Google?

    I noticed this too, only not so extreme as you. My keyword went from 1 to 12 and then to 1

    Try the same on all datacentres and you might well find that some of them show the -40 - 60 results for you.

    Same for me. Major drops in kwd tracker, but none of the datacenters showed the same results. I think it must just be an API dc glitch. I hope!!!

    I've checked many of the DCs as well, and none of them showed the tracker results. So I guess it's just an API thingy... :confused:

    Starting to see green results again.. :D
    Around 50% of the keywords that dropped a couple of days ago are well on their way back to normal again..
    But the rest is still stuck far down the SERPS... :(
