Google Bids - Position Update

You will know that as of a week or so ago, there were
some issues around reporting of Google Bids and we
released 4.34 to address this. This has partially
solved the problem, but Google has changed its
reporting substantially reducing the number of keywords
that it is reporting data on.

This will have the effect in KA of returning a 0 value
when you know full well there is data for the keyword.
Google is returning a server message, basically saying
there is insufficient data for the keyword in question
to publish a bid - we don't actually believe this to
be the case, but what is clear, is that Google is
restricting the data.

This will be the same for all keyword research tools
that publish Google bids, as the point of data retrieval
is the same regardless of which software you are using.
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the situation
for any changes, but please understand that if KA is
not retrieving the bids, the fault is not with KA, but
Google witholding the data.
