I was trying to check a bunch of URLs on a PR checker site and the results stated that since someone made the checksum public google is now banning all IPs that do excessive checking. Will this effect the keyword ranking tools that tracks backlinks as well as PR? Shawn - are you going to stop checking for PR now, have you heard anything from Google about this?
I can't get google working anymore, keep getting error 27, but if you search for "PR checker" I believe it is the second unique result I believe. I was going to post the URL, but like I said, for some reason google keeps giving me error 27...
I just received an error directly on Google: Server Error The service you requested is not available at this time. Service error -27. I was searching for a keyword and received this error directly on Google with nothing special. Not sure why just yet.
I think the term to search for in google might actually be "pagerank checker" or "check pagerank" But like I said, I am plagued by Service Error -27 stuff. I think google is broken.
My Page Rank Checker still works along with my other Page Rank Tools. The Google outage is probably due to a fault of your ISP.
the pagerank checker I bookmarked like 2 years ago still works so I'm sure Google didn't all of a sudden change their checksum generation.
Be aware that a worm or virus that specifically attacks search engines was let loose this morning, and has had a noticeable impact. I would draw no conclusions till that situation has settled down.
