Which is not better...Google have finally noticed the which is better page and automatically blocked it from being able to query them.
We generated roughly 520,000 search requests in a week, so they were bound to notice eventually, and I'll bet it was the NTK reference that tipped the scales.
They're quite within their rights to block us (it was operating in direct contravention to their terms and conditions).
Oh well. NEXT IDEA!

Arse!Good while it lasted though...
Tell you what though, my GoogleRank tool will work still as it's just being a referrer and not actually a requester. Hooray. Get GoogleRanking.

you could link it to altavistabut you'd probably get closed down next week... and then work your way through other search engines.

We could use framesand some javascript to read the content of the google page returned - that way we'd be a referrer again... but it would be a lot slower.
