SEOQuake Always Stops Working. Help.

I'm trying to use SEOQuake in Chrome to see the Page Rank of the various SERP results. When I start it works nicely but soon I run into a problem.

First it would lead to me getting banned temporarily from Google for automated requests, and then I'd have to wait an hour or something to use it again which is a pain. I did some things to fix that like increase the delay time in the parameters. That seemed to work.

But then what would happen is it would work for a while but soon every single listing would start coming up with N/A. Even if I clear the cache and do the same search that previously led to results with lots of different PR's listed, they would now come back all N/A.

This is really frustrating. I just want to be able to do searches on Google and see the PR's of all the results and be able to do it for a reasonable amount of time w/o the tool breaking and me having to take another break.

Can anyone tell me either how to fix this so SEOQuake continues to work over time or tell me another tool that will keep working to see PR of SERP results in Google?

And yes I'm using the most recent update of the Chrome extension.

    I run SEO quake on Firefox & Chrome for regular browsing, Chrome Incognito for manual searches. Works for me.

      Like I said, it works for me too...until it doesn't. Without a long enough delay on it, after a handful of searches, Google will block me. With the delays on, it works for a while and then starts giving me all N/A's for every PR in the SERPs.

    Looks like the latest version of SEO quake is 1.0.16 (Chrome), is that the same version your running?


    [edit]

    Try this whenever Google does a temporary block.

    1) Disconnect modem
    2) Clear browser History/Cache (CCleaner (free))
    3) Reset modem
    4) Reconnect modem
    5) Done

      Yes. I doubt the problem has to do with the plugin itself since it works fine sometimes. It seems more like it's Google sometimes refusing to give it the data after a while. Do you really just use it for significant periods at a time and it never stops giving you the data?

        Just did 4 or 5 searches and once again got the Google ban:

        "We're sorry...

        ... but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now.

        See Google Help for more information."

        How is everyone else using this with any frequency and not having to constantly stop for an hour or two?

          Maybe the problem is your getting the parameters by get all parameters on page load, instead of parameters by request (I use get all parameters by request).

          (Firefox/SEOquake)
          SEOquake/browser > Preferences > SERPs > get all parameters by request

            True I do get them all on page load. But I turned off all parameters besides Google Page Rank. If I get them all by request, I don't see why it would be any less stress on the system. I do a search, then request them all each time and it's doing the same amount of work. But I'll give it a try and see.

              Actually on page load does both the search query + site: search at the same exact time, where by request does both searches at different times. Maybe that's triggering the temporary Google block?

                I know, but it's still doing the same amount of searching. It's just putting a tiny gap between them. Maybe this makes a difference. I don't know. But I figured it's more the fact I'm doing repeated searches for 10 or 15 minutes in a row that is the issue, not that there is a 2 second vs. 5 second delay between the search and the Page Rank search.

                Once I get unbanned again I'll try it with "on request." So when you use "on request" you have to manually request the SEO Quake data on every search by hitting the "request all" button right? Seems like extra work that wouldn't make much difference in total amount of search in a period of time. But worth it I guess if it stops the banning and switch to all N/A.

                  Yes, that's how I search with SEOquake. It's actually pretty quick searching by request. Make sure the original search query is finished loading (depends on your internet speed).

        Like I said, I use SEOquake on Firefox & haven't had any problems. I'm not sure If there's a difference between the Firefox or Chrome version of SEOquake.

      Pretty sure we have a static IP so that won't help.

    Thanks Yukon.

    Is it normal to still get quite a few N/A's on Google Page Rank for you too even when SEOQuake is working and you're getting actual results for at least some of the sites?
