They specifically warn against it in their webmaster guidelines: http://www.google.com.au/webmasters/guidelines.html (about three quarters of the way down, "don't send automated queries to Google") It's too easy to send huge numbers of automated queries - I imagine their perfomance would suffer if they didn't try to limit it. > And how would software like Dynamic Ranking be able > to do it without creating problems? Presumably it waits a certain amount of time between requests. I've used Internet Business Promotor from Axandra in the past, and that has settings for number of simultaneous requests, waiting period, whether to download images like a normal user, etc. K. -- Kay Smoljak http://kay.smoljak.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:202368 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
