    I was playing around with a vba macro that would do page count searches for in me Google... got the thing to work and Google banned my ip so I couldn't use Google anymore! This lasted for a few hours and the ban lifted, but it shocked me because I didn't think that I could get banned for doing this. I tinkered around with the macro and changed it so that I could search using intitle, inanchor, quotes, no quotes, etc. and without Google slapping me with a banned ip. Anyone else get banned using automated Google searches?
