    Similar for me, I am looking for Google results only. My server uses PHP 5.2.9, so that shouldn't be a problem. Do I have to shorten the KW list to those 64 requests? Presently I have more than 100.

    Backlink list shows no change at all (still displaying Sep 7th).

    KW list shows N/A throughout, although date has changed to Oct 16th.

    My page is www.meincoach.at, my script i to be found under www.meincoach.at/KWT.php.

    Tnx in advance for any help.

    Set your preferences to show surrounding URLs (under edit preferences). Then look one up manually that hasn't been working (by clicking on it). What error do you get?

    You need PHP 5.2.0 or higher for Google to work.

    If I do the same, I get a blank screen and the address shown in the browser window changes to http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/keywords/?action=lookup&id=1635564

    According to my hostmaster, my server uses php 5.2.9.

    Our original problem was that we were using the wrong version of PHP, we're now using 5.2.11. I can see the yahoo and google results in the keyword tracker but still no luck with bing. All bing results still show NA but when I click on a bing keyword we are listed in the surrounding ULRs window.

    Not sure where you got the bing serp result from, when I search on bing we are on page 2

    BING
    serps result >11
    Page : >2

    Also, wanted to say thanks to Shawn this is a great keyword tracking tool

    Can you take a screenshot of the surrounding URLs window you are getting?

    Our site is hosted in germany and I'm based in thailand. When i search on bing i get different results to the keyword tracker.

    Keyword used is: Koh Chang Internet Cafe

    local (thai) serp result is:
    serps result: #1
    Page: 1

    Keyword tracker result is:
    serps result: #16
    Page: 2

    Also the result at the top of the surrounding url page (#11) is a bing search result (http://www.bing.com:80/search?q=Koh+Chang+Internet+Cafe)

    Not sure if I've paste the image correctly but you can view it here (www.i-sitekohchang/bing-result.jpg)

    I just noticed that the surrounding URL window is displaying a non www result. Weird cos we use www and have and .htaccess redirect in place. Also if I click on result #11 in the surrounding URL window bing shows us as position 1 page 1

    Take the "www." out of the URL you are searching for within the keyword tracker and you should be fine.

    Shawn

    Thank you for a quick reply

    that's done the trick. now bing results are showing. I'm not sure why bing is indexing our site as non www tho.

    One other thing, is there any way I can get the tool to show .com results rather than country specific results (i.e. german where the site is hosted). Maybe well have to change hosting companies

    No, sorry... there's not a way to tell the search engines you want to search as if from another IP address, so...

    Hi

    I'm having a problem displaying results from bing, google and yahoo are working fine.

    Keyword: Fit After Fifty
    URL: fit-after-fifty(.)com [with the w's and with the http etc) ]

    Actual Bing serps result #1 & #5

    The tracker is displaying N/A for all my bing results

    I selected to show surrounding urls and the pop up opens for both google and yahoo but fails to open or display anything when I manually search for keywords in bing.

    Any help would be appreciated
