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

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.

Not all images indexed in Google
Hi all, Recently, got an unusual issue with images in Google index. We have more than 1,500 images in our sitemap, but according to Search Console only 273 of those are indexed. If I check Google image search directly, I find more images in index, but still not all of them. For example this post has 28 images and only 17 are indexed in Google image. This is happening to other posts as well. Checked all possible reasons (missing alt, image as background, file size, fetch and render in Search Console), but none of these are relevant in our case. So, everything looks fine, but not all images are in index. Any ideas on this issue? Your feedback is much appreciated, thanks

Why Google crawl parameter URLs?
Hi SEO Masters, Google is indexing this parameter URLs - 1- xyz.com/f1/f2/page?jewelry_styles=6165-4188-4184-4192-4180-6109-4191-6110&mode=li_23&p=2&filterable_stone_shapes=4114 2- xyz.com/f1/f2/page?jewelry_styles=6165-4188-4184-4192-4180-4169-4195&mode=li_23&p=2&filterable_stone_shapes=4115&filterable_metal_types=4163 I have handled by Google parameter like this - jewelry_styles= Narrows Let Googlebot decide mode= None Representative URL p= Paginates Let Googlebot decide filterable_stone_shapes= Narrows Let Googlebot decide filterable_metal_types= Narrows Let Googlebot decide and Canonical for both pages - xyz.com/f1/f2/page?p=2 So can you suggest me why Google indexed all related pages with this - xyz.com/f1/f2/page?p=2 But I have no issue with first page - xyz.com/f1/f2/page (with any parameter). Cononical of first page is working perfectly. Thanks

Google +1 not recognizing rel-canonical
So I have a few pages with the same content just with a different URL. http://nadelectronics.com/products/made-for-ipod/VISO-1-iPod-Music-System http://nadelectronics.com/products/speakers/VISO-1-iPod-Music-System http://nadelectronics.com/products/digital-music/VISO-1-iPod-Music-System All pages rel-canonical to:

http://nadelectronics.com/products/made-for-ipod/VISO-1-iPod-Music-System My question is... why can't google + (or facebook and twitter for that matter) consolidate all these pages +1. So if the first two had 5 +1 and the rel-canonical page had 5 +1's. It would be nice for all pages to display 15 +1's not 5 on each. It's my understanding that Google +1 will gives the juice to the correct page. So why not display all the +1's at the same time. Hope that makes sense.0 -

Canonical tags and internal Google search
Quick question: I want some pages that will have canonical tags, to show up in internal results for a Google site search that's built into the site. I'm not finished with the site, but is it correct to assume that pages with canonical will NOT show up in internal site search results, when powered by Google?
