Suggested addition to keyword tracker

    I've been using the keyword tracker for quite a while now and I'm impressed. It's a very nice tool, simple to use - thanks for providing it.

    One idea I had for a possible addition is this: I sometimes have keywords that I track for a certain period of time, then find I don't want to update their stats for a period of a few weeks or months. I have quite a big set of keywords, and I know that I could select which keywords to update by clicking on them individually, but that would be quite a pain. It's much easier to use "check all" - but that means I'm using up API calls (and processing time) doing work for keywords I'm not currently interested in.

    What would be nice is to have a way to select each keyword as "active" or "inactive". That way I could "switch off" selected keywords for a period of time if I choose. All the historical data would be kept, but I wouldn't use up Google API calls checking its rank at times I'm not interested in it. Later, I could activate it again if I want to check it's progress again.

    Would this be possible at a future date?

    thanks,

    Howard

    I'll see if something like that could be done in the future...

    If you are taking suggestions, I would like to request some option to either arrange the order the keyphrases / pages (as opposed to plain alphabetized) or some kind of provision for keyword / page clusters, so that we can monitor one set / site at a time, without having them all shuffled (alphabetized).
    Thanks for this great tool.

    You can order them by any of the columns (URL, rank, daily change, etc.)

    Couldn't you just sort by URL to achieve this?
