So Google Banned me from Searching Today...

Discussion in 'Google' started by Ascendancy, Jan 12, 2010.

    I tried to do a Google search this afternoon, only to be brought to an error page that said my IP was thought to be gaming Google for queries and searches! I didn't think Google could ban you from using Google, but I have no idea why it would say I was using Google to query something that could be thought of as cheating or gaming some system

    I've had this happen before too. Just give it an hour or so and retry. It's strange but not permanent.

    Off the top of my head, I think that you have to search the same term a hundred times or more to get IP banned like that... It is temporary, though.

    Oh this is new to me and I've never experienced that case even though I use Google for a long time. I think that would be ok just wait for a couple of minutes. :) because Google can't banned you definitely in using their search engine. Google is free to all.

    If that error saying you are searching too fast then maybe there's a warez or virus that automatically searching and Google flag your IP with too many query for short period of time. Better clear up your cookies and history and do some scanning..

    Just clean up your browser's cookies. And then flush your ip. ipconfig/fluship. or ipconfig/flushdns

    I didn't think you banned by google. It is google dancing. wait some days or a week, your website will back in same possition or higher rank or lower rank. Don't panic. If your site not indexed in google.com, you just develop new site. Try itu: search in google: site:yoursite.com and link:yoursite.com. what the result?

    Google bans IP temporarily for automated queries, its either you have a virus on your PC or you have used SEO tools that performs these automated search queries

    It might have been malware on your pc doing queries without your knowledge.

    Do you run one of those softwares which queries google for rankings or for keywords then google does this, but this banning of IP is temporary say for few hours, but if it happens frequently then they do ban permanently, so now we need to be afraid of running any softwares on our desktop because it will annoy G:mad:
