There’s a delicious irony when the site that we expect to spider our sites doesn’t like to be spidered itself.
I’d run a search and then opened each of the results, worked through them and flicked to page 2 and repeated. I then went to refresh page 2, not sure why, and got this lovely little “are you human” check.
Why, yes I am! and it let me proceed.
Now, this doesn’t affect me in any way, if I have to occasionally enter in a captcha it’s not a big deal.
Has anyone had any problems because of this?
I run an automated tool that goes out and fetches the keyword rankings for my sites about every day, i check upwards of 50-70 keywords, up to the 30th page, i have to enter a few Captchas along the way.
