Traffic Travis crashing

Best place to ask would be TT support. If it's what I'm thinking, it is using Yahoo and that was updated/removed?

Has tt been updated or anything? It was crashing when I used Keyword finder so I uninstalled, downloaded again and re-installed and when I'm using Keyword Finder I enter a keyword and it just sits and displays nothing.

Anyone else reported any trouble?

Thanks,
Herb.

Yes did act very weird for me about a week ago. I think it was in keyword finder for me too. I clicked 'start' and it crashed and said there was a registration error so I tried to re-register and it locked TT saying it was re-registered too many times. :roll:

I sent an email to them and they were extremely prompt in helping, anyway the reset the counter and I reinstalled, registered and was fine.

Hoorah! New Traffic Travis!

This version is a hang of a lot more stable than the last version, but make sure to let us know if you encounter any bugs or any such thing.

Hey baguiar,

The way we're doing the search counts is pretty interesting. I'm not sure I'm allowed to divulge the secrets, but I suggest you go back and do the search again now, and see if the results are any different :)

Once we've had people using TT for a while this shouldn't happen so often.

As for daily search vs monthly search... this is probably dictated by the sources we get the count data from. They give it to us in daily format, we give it to you in daily format. I'll pass on the monthly suggestion, but as with most keyword research tools it's more about the relative search volume compared with other words (see WordTracker's search counts). If you need monthly you could always multiply by however many days in a particular month ;)

Hope that helps, lemme know if you've got any more problems.

Nah, don't feel bad about complaining. It's a pretty legitimate gripe on a pretty important tool.

The way it kinda works is that you submit some keywords and we look in our cache to see if they're already there. If not, they go into a queue to be sent to all the relevant sites for visitor data. If you search for something that isn't in our cache, then you might get pretty lame response because we have to wait to get that data back from the sources.

Hmm, I think I could have worded that better. Hopefully you get the idea.

So like I said, until we've had people using TT for a while our cache is going to be on the flimsy side, which is exactly your experience.

That said, I'm also not getting very many suggestions for your keyword, so something funky is going on there. I'll pass it on to Head of Funky Happenings and get him to check it out.

Cheers for the feedback, and don't worry... I do waaaaaay more complaining on a daily basis than you'll ever do ;)
