Micro Niche Finder 5.0

Archive for the ‘MNF Updates’ Category

These are the primary changes introduced in v. 5.6.x updates…

5.6.14 – July 12, 2011 (Hanging Issue)

· Search algorithm update prevent search “hangs” for single returned result

5.6.9 – June 10, 2011 (Google Keyword Tool Update)

· Error-checking during search to allow “hung” searches to be canceled

5.6.8 – June 1, 2011

· Removed OCI from Micro Niche Finder

OCI is the “online commercial intent” tool previously operated by Microsoft. This tool has been inoperative for several months; we suspect that Microsoft no longer has intention of supporting it. It was used by a number of keyword software tools, including the moneyword matrix keyword product from Niche Profit Classroom. Eventually, someone will fill this void; meanwhile, using ad cost data as the measure of commercial intent seems like a reasonable substitute.

5.6.7 – May 28, 2011

· Bad Request (Error 400) from Google changes introduced in 5.6.6

This version requires AdWords Login integration in Micro Niche Finder to retrieve Ad Cost information!!!

· Updated parsing engine to properly parse Ad Cost for all search types

· Some users were reporting issues with “Micro Niche Finder cannot find the search button on the Keyword Tool Site” Google has been redirectingusers to AdWords Campaign Management instead of the Keyword Tool. This update re-loads the Keyword Tool page when search button cannot be found.
· MOB (measure of backlinks) can be added to queue, even if phrase counts have not yet been retrieved.

James J Jones reported the following information on Thursday, October 21st:

“…Google has recently implemented a LOT of changes to their keyword tool, including the roll out of an entirely new Google Keyword Tool to replace their old one. As of Wednesday Google has turned off the old keyword tool so this has caused Micro Niche Finder to no longer pull search results.

Please Give Kevin a couple of days to get things wrapped up. I’ll send an email out as soon as its ready. “

We know that these Google changes have also affected other keyword tools. As James noted, a Micro Niche Finder update should be available soon.
