Issues with version 1.2.1

Wednesday, June 28th, 2006

The following issues have been raised with version 1.2.1 of Keyword Transformer. Note that thes e issues affect both the personal and professional editions of the software.

  1. It is possible to get to the stage where Keyword Transformer appears to have locked up; it ceases to update the screen, and it is identified by the system as not responding. Under these circumstances, it is normally still working on a long list that you have entered. Somebody used Keyword Transformer to convert an input list of 10,000 phrases into broad match, phrase match and exact match variations, so the output was 30,000 phrases; this worked, although it did take half an hour. If you want to be sure that Keyword Transformer 1.2.1 is still running, please do not cover the program window with any other windows while it’s running.

    Technically, this is happening because the current design is single-threaded. It’s quite easy to fix by making the application multi-threaded.

  2. It is still the case that it takes inordinately longer to process a long list than it does a short list. As reported before, this is due to the duplicate detection code being somewhat inefficient at the present moment in time. Again, it’s relatively easy to solve.

If you find any other issues, please add comments to this post. Thank you.

New Affiliate Marketing Course

Monday, June 26th, 2006

I have written a 7-day affiliate marketing course. It covers the basics, and also gives some very good advice about how people can make money using AdWords affiliate marketing. It’s another reason for people to sign up to my list, and it’s a good reason, because I don’t just try to force people to buy the professional edition of Keyword Transformer in it! I’ve tried to provide real value, although, of course, I have shown how Keyword Transformer can be used to assist affiliate marketers.

I hope to encourage sign-ups and build customer loyalty with the new course. I’m hoping for some more sales, too. :-)

Keyword Transformer Version 1.2.1 released

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

I have just released Keyword Transformer version 1.2.1. It fixes the following bug in both the Personal Edition and the Professional Edition:

  • The program was taking a long time to create keyword lists, appearing to crash in the process.

It fixes the following bug in the Professional Edition only:

  • When two words are present in a key phrase and both Missed Spaces and Keyword Permutations are selected, the expected output “WordAWordB” would not be present in the output listing.

These new versions are now available for immediate download. To save bandwidth, I’d appreciate it if you would please consider whether you really need this update, and only download the update if the problem is affecting you. Thank you.

Keyword Transformer Personal Edition released for free!

Thursday, June 15th, 2006

The sales page has been revamped, and Keyword Transformer Personal Edition has just been released for free to anybody with an email address.

In the sales page revamp, I have given the demonstration video greater prominence because I saw an increase in conversions when I added the video and told people about it. People can see exactly what they are getting with the video, whereas they may not be prepared to spend the time to read the sales letter.

Also, the affiliate programme has been opened up to members of the public. For further information, please follow this link.
