Anyone try Longtail Pro as a replacement for Adwords? I paid the $1 trial fee two weeks ago and woke up today to a $537 charge on my credit card. I've emailed them but no response yet. Has this happened to anyone else? Does LTP have a history of this?
No doubt they've received a lot of new customers from NPs since the Adwords changes so I thought it might be worth alerting people incase its happened to others aswell. Hopefully its just an error and not something else.

Hmmm as far as I know if u dont cancel the trial within the trial period you will get billed in full.

They charge annually ...so u probably took the $45pm package (billed annually)

You're supposed to mail LTP Customer support before your ten day trial ends (to cancel your ten day trial). If you don't you're automatically billed.

Am I missing something here? LTP is not an adwords replacement rather than a compliment tool to adwords.
Whatever adwords shows with the new changes that's what LTP will show... am I wrong on that?

I use both Market Samurai and LTP and all I get is the 10/100/10k results when I do keyword research.
If there is a way to change that, please do share :)

Nope, you are correct.....they all use Google KW Planner API's so they will get the same results.

Lol....I suspect there will be some services that will be launched soon. That will probably will be open to limited numbers...basically I would imagine that someone would soon incorporate their high spend adwords account API with a keyword tool like LTP... and charge a nice fat amount for membership... they would need to limit the numbers because chances are too many queries going of a single adwords account is going to raise a few red flags... so it would make sense to limit the amount of members... unless of course they get like 100 adwords accounts that have a decent adwords spend and then use those API... hmmm lots of possibilities :)

They both can be used for keyword research purposes, so it's kind of replacement tool.
LTP was sold earlier this year and new owners implemented aggressive monetization, that can be unaffordable for many, who used to standalone software with 1-time fee.

To avoid over-paying you can order keyword research with LTP on Fiverr or use other software like Key Collector or Scrapebox.

the 'implemented aggressive monetization' link won't resolve for me though
