Automated SERP Rank Checking - Google Block

Anyone else having trouble rank checking with an automated tool like Traffic Travis or others?

Save the Google TOS speech, I know I know. Since many of us use automated tools anyway (carefully and respectfully of course), I am wondering if anyone else is getting zero results for Google when using a tool? I use Traffic Travis right now and it is otherwise good, but last few days I can't track any SERPS in Google. Bing and Yahoo are fine. Long delay and then zeros for everything.

 

They will always block automated trackers, most good software will use proxies to avoid your IP being temporary banned from searching

 

I don't I use tool in checking rankings for a group of sites.

 

usually normal.. even in normal search google block temporarily your queries.. they usually do that when they think an automated search is been using..

 

to check ranking manually is the best way TO get correct results

 

I use automated tool for checking ranks.. No issues here.. if you use tools like scrapebox, go for premium proxies
