It looks like Google has re-instated the keyword that is the base comparison phrase for calculating GTrends. That means that GTME is working again. I don’t know if Google will remove the base comparison phrase again or not, but for now, GTME is working!
I hope everyone takes advantage of this opportunity to find those niche phrases!

P.S. Thanks to Shannon & Chris for letting me know that Google had re-instated the phrase. 
Of course!!
The main reason you should go ahead and download GTME is so that you will be added to my email list and I can notify you once there is a working version available (for free).
Don’t worry, I don’t send out emails to you trying to get you to buy affiliate offers. You can ask anyone on my list, the last email I sent out was back in January of this year (and it was for an affiliate offer that I thought would be useful, however, I quickly decided to not do that again and haven’t since). So, you won’t get bombarded with spam or affiliate junk from me.

You may have noticed recently that Gtrends Made Easy is not returning an estimated Google Search Volume count (other than -1).
The reason for this is that Google has removed the baseline search phrase that GTME used to estimate other search phrases from it’s Google Trends website.
Remember that GTME was developed based on the GTrends method from the Thirty Day Challenge. The folks at the Thirty Day Challenge are working on some additional baseline phrases that we can use.
Once they have released those phrases, I will update GTME and let you know where you can download the new version for free. I also plan on making this next version configurable so that you can use your own baseline phrase if you want.
The current version still returns the estimated number of search results for the exact match of the phrase and it can also be used with a Wordze subscription to retrieve keyword suggestions and search volume counts, however, it will not return the estimated google search volume.

I just wanted to take a second to apologize to those of you who have emailed me recently. I have been swamped lately and just haven’t made the time to respond yet. I will do my best to respond this week to you individually.
Best Wishes,
