WA Keyword Tool is Broken?
This is getting worse lately.I do 3 searches and bang - Google gives me the finger, I mean the captcha code and some of them are really hard to read. I know I'm not alone with this and members say it's a Google thing, so I logged out of Google, but It doesn't help. Does anybody has a solution or know if Kyle aware of this and trying to fix it?
Just to be clear - not Jaaxy, it's the WA KW Tool.

It's a Google thing. And I'm pretty sure it's your own IP address which triggers the response. I think Jaaxy uses proxy domains so it doesn't happen there. Another reason to use Jaaxy? I'll keep persevering with WA keyword tool. ~Marion
You should trade Captcha for re(Captcha). It's easier for people to get through, yet it'll keep bots out!

Hi - it is a Google thing.
Too many searches in quick succession, from the same IP address, will ask you to fill out the captcha - as wants to check you are a human, and not a bot scraping results.
Google is interested in human activity, searches and results - so I can understand why the don't want their resources used up by bots.
Whether you're logged into Google or not - if the KW tool searches it, it will be the KW tool's IP address or domain that it will be recognizing - and as many people will be using the KW tool at the same time, I can see why Google thinks it may be under some sort of bot attack.
All the best, Mark
Hi yeah could do - but it depends when people around the world are using it most I suppose. I don't know of any stats hat would tell us here at WA.
Cheers, Mark
Yes it is a bit of a pain but if I cant read the captcha I just put in any letters and it gives me a clearer option

Yea ... it's a bit of a PIA. For me it doesn't occur on every search ... maybe half the time. But I just play Google's game and move on. Not ready to commit to Jaaxy.
