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. 

Best Wishes,
