Question - does not Google (and Yahoo) now penalize you if you're doing backlink checks, especially using automated software? |
it is rare IMHO. in the past I did a large number of automated link queries against their terms of service without any penalty. also most backlink checks are normally performed on competing sites.
that being said I created my tool to allow people to access their results via their APIs, which is not against their TOS.
