They changed the way that you add listings. I can't tell if it is better or not simply because it is different. It just screws me up for the day is all. I am use to adding listings quickly one way and now I have to rethink how I do it so that I can do it quickly on the new system. I just wish they would give a little heads up when making changes like this. :(

Your right about the warning. For many they will think it's brilliant, but I see it as a way of driving the cost per click up, it takes the skill of choosing keywords out of the equation, which means the "niche" will be less obvious. It will still be there but you won't need to do much lateral thinking to arrive at the keywords you want.

I do like the layout though and you can still do seperate landing pages for each keyword.

Will take some getting used to though.

That new search suggestion feature isn't all that great. It is nice if you are just looking up one term but if you go looking up a second, all the terms you marked for you list on the first term get taken off your list. I'd rather just have the seperate window like before that I can cut and paste from.

I think anyone who was too lazy before to check out keyword variations will still be too lazy now to use this system.
