Google Blocks Ranking Providers

In Google’s last update they have reinforced their web master guidelines by blocking some of the main DIY software applications such as Web Ceo and Web Position Gold.

Google doesn’t like automated software accessing its search engine as it uses resources and slows things up so you can understand why they are keen to stomp it out but people also want to know where they are ranking so we have an issue.

This is causing seo’s in general big problems as many applications seem to have been hit but I am sure when these big companies put their heads together they will find a fix.

There are still applications that can get through but it means that people will now more than ever need to ensure they follow Google’s guidelines to avoid getting their IP’s blocked.
