Anyone Notice This About Google...

That in their free keyword tool they now don't show the estimated price for a keyword anymore? I don't know why. Maybe it's a glitch, and I verified I was in the right place.

When you click on the "column" button to the right, it brings up that box and you can check what you want to see. Well the estimated cpc is gone. I think that really sucks if you are going to do PPC, even though this is a free keyword tool!

Anyone know why this is? Just curious.

    Last time I looked, you had to navigate to the option and select it.

    I haven't been in there for a couple weeks, but will look later.

    Hmm I just went and checked it out. The Estimated CPC option is right under "Local Search Trends". Check the box and it will show.

    That's alarming! I think it might be a temporary thing, though, because the link above the Columns button that says 'About this data' still lists Estimated CPC and an explanation. I hope it's not a permanent change. Yikes.

    I use this tool frequently.

    Just checked on my end
    and estimated cpc option
    is still there.

    Could be just a glitch.

    Just checked again and it's not there. BTW I am looking in the right place. I don't understand why they would remove it?

    Update: Just left firefox and went into IE and checked...when I bring up the tool there, the estimated cpc is there, so either I changed a setting or firefox is really beginning to suck.

      I was having the same issue, until I used Chrome instead of Firefox

            That is odd then?! Upgrade to a newer version of Firefox?!?!? That's all I use is Firefox! Screengrapper add-on!

              Hey guys!

              I had the same experience today and it looks like it's not really Firefox, because I was using Opera.

              So I did a bit of research and found that the problem was I was using sort of a bad link. Anyway, I have the correct link now in this article:

              hubpages.com/hub/Estimated-CPC-Adwords-Column-Disappeared-and-Gone

              (Sorry, I can't post links, because I'm a newbie here.)

              If you have the same problem drop the old link and bookmark this one.
