In response to my post about the Yahoo API giving the "wrong" results, I got an email from a Yahoo! rep, and we've been emailing back and forth a few times since. When I showed him the difference in the numbers given through the API and the Web interface for css3.info (I've updated my [...]

As you might have noticed, I'm a huge fan of 103bees, as I truly think it's one of the nicest tools out there for bloggers and other people interested in what people were searching for when they reached your site. Today, however, I logged in to my account, and I saw that 103bees is selling [...]
