Is Google trying to Scare its Users?Written by Abdulrehman on January 2nd, 2009
The picture above speaks for itself, I was stuck in a life on internet without Google for 3 days, and you wouldn’t want to know how horrible it was. 3 facts you should know before you continue:
- I am not a robot to send automated requests.
- Spywares and viruses are not timed with my activities.
- My computer anti-virus is fully up-to-date and now, there is no way I would tolerate even a single virus in my computer.
Back to Google, I experienced this mostly when I was making queries on IP addresses of Google rather than Google itself. Still, I tolerated. A day passed and kaboom, a simple search query on www.google.com gives me the same error. I scanned my computer several times and cleared my cookies, etc. but still no luck. It was time to make a switch and after 7 years I used Yahoo! search (I used it last time when I did not know of Google). A little search on Google’s bug and I found a couple more companions who had experienced the same problem, now I also learned of the solution. This is what I had to do: Nothing! That’s right, 2 more days and Google automatically fixed itself for me, phew what a relief.
It is a big problem faced by Google Users, and you really feel annoyed of Google after such an experience. At the end my question is, “Is google trying to scare its users or just giving them a tase of what life without Google would be like?”, but at the end of the day we all still ♥ Google!

It may just be a glitch in the Google system…or they want you to use their spyware products!

That is Google thru and thru, they know that 90% of the net users rely on them and they can do what ever it is they want.
A normal website, fighting for your attention would have reverted back to a previous version of their system while they fixed the bug to ensure it doesn’t lose you, not Google though, they know you will give the other search engines a try but if nothing else but habit you will return to them.

I have seen this many times. I run a rank checker program for my company and it periodically runs search queries to check our website against rankings in Google. Too many queries in a short amount of time gets me the same “We’re Sorry…” message. After getting this message several times, Google started banning not only my work computer, but all of the computers in our office. Originally, it was only my machine that was blocked. After causing the problem throughout our office, I learned to reduce the amount of search queries the program did over a period of time and have not seen this alert since.
Are you doing too many searches in Google?

I have done manual ranking checks and had the same problem. What I found interesting was that initially, only my computer was blocked from Google. Then, after this had happened several times, every computer in the office was blocked.

It’s happened to me a couple of times unfortunately. Have no idea what’s causing it, since I know I’m a human. :O

Do you know that Hot Trends are also a product from google and it shows which keywords indexed most in past one hour. Many softwares also keep generating these kind of queries from such keywords to effect hot trends.

Wow sorry to here that! Google is always up to something, I have heard of google doing that if you have other pay per click programs running on your blog.

I was getting this message when doing a lot of keyword researches with the Adwords keyword tool. Lately I haven’t been seeing it too much.
