This is one of the google guide line which tell that not to use computer programs to check the ranking on google. now my question is if we use it than it may affect ranking as we are not following google guide lines. that any one can check his competitor's site ranking and they can do the same more than once a day so it may affect the ranking of that webmaster's site. so what is your opinion on this probs. i want to know other DP members experience. i m using free monitor for google tool to check the ranking of my site. thanks
