Hey everyone this is Joshua (creator and lead programmer).
This is a very interesting thread. Honestly, I wanted to fucking hunt down the OP and cut his balls off when I first read this... BUT the reality is that we fucked up, so it's expected that we will get shit for it especially since a lot of really successful SEOs have taken us in as a daily tool and trust our data. Still, it's really shocking how many of you sent us emails telling us to go fuck ourselves right out of the gate. The funny thing was, it was mostly free users yelling at us. I'm still trying to understand that...
Unfortunately, some changes that I made in the early morning before finally passing out caused this bug. When I finally came back to the land of the living, hell had already broken loose and there wasn't a conscious decision not to notify everyone of the error in data. Ryan and I did our best to communicate with everyone, but the reality is that there is no right way of doing so. To those complaining that writing a blog post about the issue in our "News" section isn't a good way of passing on data to our users... frankly you're stupid and I hate you

. The fact that the data was wrong pretty much means that everyone is so pissed that no amount of communication will fix it. Only a FIX will fix it, and thats what I spent all day doing
The good news is that I redesigned the way we collect our data and it's now close to as accurate as it can get. In all of our tests so far, we have found almost 100% accuracy. I have test accounts at all major(and small) SERP trackers and no one else's data lines up as accurately as we are seeing at SEscout right now. I KNOW that we will still have issues, but I'm really excited about the changes and only wish it didn't come at such a great cost.
I can honestly say to anyone who complains about our customer service: who the fuck are you comparing us to? In my experience it's extremely rare with any web service to get a response back inside of 48 hours and it's usually some generic bullshit sent to everyone when it does come. We USUALLY get back to every form of communication with us inside of just hours (if not minutes)...
Im sorry for all of the hassle. I wish it wouldn't have happened this way. (insert a plethora of extremely obvious excuses of why we actually are doing a great job compared to others that no one gives a shit about here) I have huge plans for SEscout and it's my goal to make it so amazing that comparing a product like MS to it is blasphemy
Again, SORRY SORRY SORRY go fuck your self OP
