    Our office has a number of people performing analysis and research on keyword positions, volume, competition etc.

    We have 1 external static IP address. We installed the static IP so we can filter out our visits in Google Analytics. However by 10 AM we get impssible CAPTCHA's or even get blocked in Google.

    Do you have any experience with such an issue? Any solutions you can recommend?

    Any help would be appreciated!

      yup, i know that problem. too many requests to Google from the same IP. The IPs from which you query Google should frequently change, otherwise you'll get blocked.

        Speed (even when set at slow) is not always the problem but a regular timing of queries which is unlike humans who operate randomly.

          Thanks for the reply. Yes, we do use a rank tracker (seo powersuite). We've put it at its lowest crawl speed. We're 3 people using the tool, not even simultaneously.

          Great visual, btw. Guess I'll join you in that category (proudly though).

            I start at 8 AM and 2 hours later we see the captcha's getting to a ridiculous level. The IP doesn't seem to be on a black list. No, the IP never change.

            I get the captcha's as a result of using Rank Tracker by Seo Powersuite. However, it is at it's lowest crawl level. But you can imagine a team of several people tracking ranks that is raises flags at Google. What would you suggest we do as a team to avoid this?

              You are likely using tools like SEO Elite etc which send fast queries. This type of software can be set to slower hit rate. I doubt you guys search that fast to be booted without use of software. Check your plugins and software - that would be my first recommendation.

              I do get this from time to time when I try to hack URLs to death... but it only happens occasionally 😉

                Is this happening every day at 10AM? What happens between midnight and 10AM? Before midnight? Is this static IP on a blacklist? Does this static IP change over night? Where are you getting these 'impossible CAPTCHAs'? Where is 'Google blocking you'?

                      Do things like using labels on an element that is not a form input affect how google sees us in regards to accessibility?

                      Do things like using labels on an element that is not a form input affect how google sees us? It's an accessibility error that our devs have made - using a label element because it looks good, not because it's an actual label on a form field. Just wondering how that affects accessibility in Google's eyes.

                      Have Your Thoughts Changed Regarding Canonical Tag Best Practice for Pagination? - Google Ignoring rel= Next/Prev Tagging

                      Hi there, We have a good-sized eCommerce client that is gearing up for a relaunch. At this point, the staging site follows the previous best practice for pagination (self-referencing canonical tags on each page; rel=next & prev tags referencing the last and next page within the category). Knowing that Google does not support rel=next/prev tags, does that change your thoughts for how to set up canonical tags within a paginated product category? We have some categories that have 500-600 products so creating and canonicalizing to a 'view all' page is not ideal for us. That leaves us with the following options (feel it is worth noting that we are leaving rel=next / prev tags in place): Leave canonical tags as-is, page 2 of the product category will have a canonical tag referencing ?page=2 URL Reference Page 1 of product category on all pages within the category series, page 2 of product category would have canonical tag referencing page 1 (/category/) - this is admittedly what I am leaning toward. Any and all thoughts are appreciated! If this were in relation to an existing website that is not experiencing indexing issues, I wouldn't worry about these. Given we are launching a new site, now is the time to make such a change. Thank you! Joe

                      Is it against google guidelines to use third party review sites as well as have reviews on my site marked up with schema?

                      So, i look after a site for my family business. We have teamed up with the third party site TrustPilot because we like the way it enables us to send out reviews to our customers directly from our system. It's been going great and some of the reviews have been brilliant. I have used a couple of these reviews on our site and marked them up with: REVIEW CONTENT We work in the service industry and so one of the problems we have found is that getting our customers to actually go online and leave a review. They normally just leave their comments on a job sheet that the workers have signed when they leave. So I have created a page on our site where we post some of the reviews the guys receive too. I have used the following: REVIEW TITLE REVIEW Written by: CUSTOMER NAME Type of Service:House Removal Date published: DATE PUBLISHED 10 / 10 stars I was just wondering I was told that this could be against googles guidelines and as i've seen a bit of a drop in our rankings in the last week or so i'm a little concerned. Is this getting me penalised? Should I not use my reviews referencing the ones on trust pilot and should i not have my own reviews page with rich snippets?

                      Does moving Server (IP) affect rankings?

                      I work for a pretty large company with an established web domain with thousands of pages. We are working on a new website and they talked about moving the site onto a new server. What is the impact ranking wise of going to a new server? Does Google care so long as it's the same domain, or is there some equity lost? Thanks in advance!

                      Should i not use hyphens in web page titles? Google Penalty for hyphens?

                      all the page titles  in my site have hyphens between the words like this: http://texas.com/texas-plumbers.html I have seen tests where hyphenated domain names ranked lower than non hyphenated domain names.  Does this mean my pages are being penalized for hyphens or is this only in the domain that it is penalized? If I create new pages should I not use hyphens in the page titles when there are two or more words in the title? If I changed all my page titles to eliminate the hyphens, I would lose all my rankings correct?  My site is 12 years old and if I changed all these titles I'm guessing that each page would be thrown in the google sandbox for several months, is this true? Thanks mozzers!

                      Does Google penalize duplicate website design?

                      Hello, We are very close to launching five new websites, all in the same business sector. Because we would like to keep our brand intact, we are looking to use the same design on all five websites. My question is, will Google penalize the sites if they have the same design? Thank you! Best regards,
                      Tiberiu
