Google cracks down on automated position checking

After having already disrupted the Web Position gold ability to scrape results Google has now thrown another spanner in the works. Results are now server within H3 rather than H2 tags. Not a big change I grant you – but as everyones scraper is set up to look for these when analysing the pages they’ll all stop working. Can just see loads of wee coders having to try and remember which part of code they’ll have to fix to get it all working again.

God knows how much hand checking will be going on today until they get it fixed. No doubt SEO offices throughout the world will be getting the evil screen at Google telling them that they can no longer access Google as they have some spyware or a virus installed…

For the last two months I’ve not been posting here at all, work and other commitments . Anyway I’ll be back up and running again next week. I’ve just moved servers and need to get some backendy stuff and plugins working again.
This may mean that some of the stuff aint working yet. If you find anything stick it in the comments below. You may have noticed the themes gone and that my blogrolls gone – just hacking it out of Google cache.
