Wordtracker Down?

[Woz]

Been trying to get to WordTracker.com all day today with no success, "Cannot Find Server". Anyone else having problems?

No love here either Woz, though in all of our dealings Andy has shown himself to be incredibly dedicated to customer satisfaction. I expect we'll get word via email soon enough.

Same here. Maybe they are implementing the change to get Overture results back online or something like that.

Maybe they don't know......

Wordtracker = first line of defence.

Sorry mate - it's great your #1 but few users go looking for "Buy Dinos discount elephant shoes"

Hope projects are still intact.

LOL fathom...

You should suggest that they add that as a selling point to professional SEOs. :)

Hi guys,

What's been happening lately is that some of our less friendly clients have decided to robot our keyword database. I guess they think they can get the whole data set by querying our servers every second. This isn't going to work.

Normally we spot the problem before it affects our other customers. However. One particularly unfriendly chappy brought our server to its knees this morning for about five hours. We spotted him, and banned the robot. But that's why Wordtracker went off line.

It's all working now however. So problem solved.

Anybody who has an account with us, and was affected by the downtime, please email me at [e-mail]. I'll add an extra couple of days free to your account.

Regards,

Hey Mike an extra day ok cool, but an extra project to make 8 would be exceptional. ;)

The down time was so bad I had withdraws, the shakes, bleedshot eyes, the bank foreclosed on my mortgage, wife lefted...

ok, ok, ok... the last one was worth it! ;)
