Having to type Google CAPTCHA all the time
-
Hi guys,
Our office has about 15 computers all on the same IP address and about 10 actively search on Google.
Recently we have been asked to type in CAPTCHA almost every single time searching on Google and would like to know if you have any suggestions of resolving this.
We do use Firefox Rank Checker to check ranking once per week (around 400 keywords) but we use Hide My Ass to hide the IP.
No malware or virus detected on computers in the network.
Many thanks for your help in advance

Also we use SEOQuake toolbar all the time which as far I know check Google PR + results count for a particular URL/domain. Is it a potential issue too?

Thanks for your prompt responses guys,
The solutions I intend to use are:
1. Use other SEs (Bing) for non SEO related searches (e.g. research, staff personal use etc.)
2. Stop using Rank Checker for rank checking.
3. Split the computers into using 2 internet connections so 7/each.
I don't really like the idea of using Hide My Ass when working all the time as it does slow down your connection + we can't send emails in Outlook when it's turned on too (which we often forget).
Any other suggestions you want to add/feedback for the above?
Thanks
David

Hi Ssssrpm, This is happened most of the times specially in the office which have about 15 computers & all are running on the same ip address. I advice you to use hide my ip software & then work. Most of the times when the google search is used then this happened according to google ters & conditions.
Google analyzes that the most of the searches are came from the same ip address because you are using about the 15 computers with same ip address. that 's why due to security issue the google for captcha.
But there are different coders which develops the software to resolve the captcha issue but they are in black hat category according to google conditions.
i hope that you query had been solved.

I had the same happening to me using Firefox Rank Checker and I believe they get flagged for taking resources. I suggest using SeoMoz instead.

I had this happen to me a few times, but the last time was about a year ago, from memory, but I have never used any automated tools to do searches, and I rarely do more than a few dozen searches per day (actually, I try not to use google now) If all of your PCs are on the same IP address, it will look like automated testing, so probably your only way to stop that is to use proxies with different or changing IPs.

Page missing from Google index
Hi all, One of our most important pages seems to be missing from the Google index. A number of our collections pages (e.g., http://perfectlinens.com/collections/size-king) are thin, so we've included a canonical reference in all of them to the main collection page (http://perfectlinens.com/collections/all). However, I don't see the main collection page in any Google search result. When I search using "info:http://perfectlinens.com/collections/all", the page displayed is our homepage. Why is this happening? The main collection page has a rel=canonical reference to itself (auto-generated by Shopify so I can't control that). Thanks! WUKeBVB

Local Google vs. default Google search
Hello Moz community, I have a question: what is the difference between a local version of Google vs. the default Google in regards to search results? I have a Mexican site that I'm trying to rank in www.google.com.mx, but my rankings are actually better if I check my keywords on www.google.com The domain is a .mx site, so wouldn't it make more sense that this page would rank higher on google.com.mx instead of the default Google site, which in theory would mean a "broader" scope? Also, what determines whether a user gets automatically directed to a local Google version vs. staying on the default one? Thanks for your valuable input!

Google Sitemap - How Long Does it Take Google To Index?
We have changed our sitemap about 1 month ago and Google is yet to index it. We have run a site: search and we still have many pages indexed but we are wondering how long does it take for google to index our sitemap? The last sitemap we put up had thousands of pages indexed within a fortnight, but for some reason this version is taking way longer. We are also confident that there are no errors in this version. Help!

Not ranking on Google
Hi all, I am optimising a site which is a hotel directory for a small island in the Mediterranean - Malta. The site is www.maltahotelsonline.com. I did a keyword research and optimised the page. However I am now at link building stage. Since we do not have many links the site is still not ranking very well for the desired keywords (ranking fine on Bing and Yahoo yet not on Google). As a result there isn't much traffic on the site. 1. Is there any particular issue that you can spot on this site that is not allowing it to rank well on Google? 2. Any suggestions on link-building please?

Google has not been visiting my site
Hi I am working on a site at the moment http://www.cheapflightsgatwick.com and i had the site using a different template and in the search engines for the search term cheap flights gatwick we were fourth and for the term holiday magazine we were 12th in google but now we are not even in google on the first page for the search terms. But now after changing the template in joomla our rankings have gone out of the window. It took me about a day to sort out the site with the new template so i was not expecting any problems with the search engines but for some reason there is. If you put into the search engine www.cheapflightsgatwick.com then you will see that google has not visited the site for four days and also it is not showing the description and instead it is showing details about joomla. Can anyone let me know if there is anything i need to do to sort this out and why google is taking so long to visit my site

UK website ranking higher in Google.com than Google.co.uk
Hi, I have a UK website which was formerly ranked 1<sup>st</sup> in Google.co.uk and .com for my keyword phrase and has recently slipped to 6<sup>th</sup> in .co.uk but is higher in position 4 in Google.com. I have conducted a little research and can’t say for certain but I wonder if it is possible that too many of my backlinks are US based and therefore Google thinks my website is also US based. Checked Google WmT and we the geo-targeted to the UK. Our server is also UK based. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Thanks
