It has been almost 20 days since I launched the first version of my free long tail keyword tool on v-seo.com.

If you don’t know it yet: With that tool, you can easily find long tail search phrases with appreciable search volume to your keywords.

Since then, I thought a lot about adding new features to improve the results and also got a lot of feedback and feature requests in blog posts, comments and twitter messages.

So I think a new blog post to explain the changes is overdue:

The new Features:

1. The Advanced deep scan mode:
   This mode will allow you to get much more than only 10 results per depth! Extract as much data as possible!
   Because processing queries in this mode is taking much much time and people using these data will probably earn money with it, I decided to limit the free use of this premium service to 5 deep scan queries per IP.
   Please contact me, if you want to use this premium service!
   
   
2. Query different countries for local searches
   Due to requests in some blog comments, I integrated this feature. It’s clear that US search marketeers need queries from american searchers. In fact results from USA and United Kingdom differs very much, just check it out. It’s also very interesting to compare results from different countries.
   More countries possible, just ask.

3. CSV keyword import
   This is a premium only feature: CSV keyword import and automatic processing of tons of keywords.
   If you have a big keyword list and need hundreds or thousands of phrases processed, this is the solution.
   Please contact me, if you want to use this premium service!

4. Multi language support
   Get german, english, french, italian, spanish, danish or even dutch long tail keyword phrases.
   If you like other languages, please let me know!

5. Support for Germanic Umlauts
   I used the tool to find german long tail phrases, so I quickly find out that it could not handle Umlauts like ö,ä and ü. Now it can!

To this day 3,121 people have used the tool to start 12,805 queries on long tail search phrases. This is awesome Go ahead!

I also got a lot of blog posts and tweets and retweets from many countries all around the world! Many thanks for this! You are great!

If you have feedback, feature request or bug reports, please comment to this post, or tweet me on twitter!

FTP-Client: FileZilla für Mac OS X

Ich weiß ja nicht, wie es euch geht. Aber ich komme mit Cyberduck einfach nicht klar. Es wurde mir von vielen Mac-Usern, als DAS FTP-Programm für OS X empfohlen. Schön und gut, aber für mich in der Praxis nicht zu benutzen.

Transmit soll ja auch ein ganz tolles Tool sein, aber mal ehrlich: Wieso soll ich 29,95$ für einen FTP-Client bezahlen, wenn ich die meisten Features nicht benötige?! Sorry, wirklich nicht.

Vor lauter Verzweiflung habe ich dann einfach mal nach “FileZilla OS X” bei Google gesucht und, oh Wunder, siehe da: FileZilla gibt es tatsächlich für den Mac!!!

Der Client wurde sogar um einige Features erweitert und unterstützt jetzt auch Datenübertragung per SSL/TLS (FTPS) sowie per SSH (SFTP).

Zugegeben, das Interace ist nicht so ganz Mac-Typisch, hübsch, smooth, eyecandy… Dafür tut das Ding einfach, was ich will
