When trying to Access the G keyword tool from my Adwords dashboard I get this error:

 

We're Sorry... but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now.

See Google Help for more information.

 

Which is odd as I am not running any bots?...

That's usually from running automated ranking reports.

I haven't done any ranking reports though?

 

I don't even have any software that does it.

This has only happened to me a handful of times, but I've actually gotten that message after manually running a bunch of searches. But I'm talking about a pretty big bunch of searches, like 50-100 of them, in order to examine how my site was competing with a few specific competitors.

 

When it's happened, just doing something else for an hour or so has always been enough to get me back in.

 

And yes, it's happened far more often when I've used automated tools.

Oh, right, I forgot about that. If you do a lot of advanced search queries in a row, like allintitle: you can get that.

But I'm not doing any searches?

 

All I do is use the keyword tool on an almost daily basis ..that's it.

 

And I've just had to contact Google about this and I had submit my affected IP to them, so now I might be in trouble.

Using the keyword tool is querying Google, just like running searches is. You're not getting this message every time you use the tool, are you?

[SelfMade]

Hi Qwerty,

 

Yep.

 

I can login to adwords, but as soon as I try to open the Keyword tool, I'm getting that error.  :/

 

If using the keyword tool is querying google, that would explain why I'm getting it.

 

I blog at least 3 times a day, which is why I query the GWT.

I get the message when googling normal basic searches when using a VPN.

Turn off VPN and there is no issue.

[SelfMade]

Interesting you said that.

 

I used a VPN on my Laptop, using an American IP, I did it so that I could watch a Youtube video that was unnacessible locally. (UK)

 

The next day I started seeing these messages.

 

The thought did cross mind.

 

Thanks for that.

I use the VPN away from my home territory.

By definition that means the home IP is unrecognizable.

 

When I restart/ disable the VPN repeatedly I am usually at a distant IP.

No issues with G after a disable.

And how many others around the world are using the same VPN to search Google?

[harpsound]

Virtually reside and hide behind 335 VPN servers located in 53 countries with 39'500+ IP addresses

 

Direct from the VPN website - Google knows them all? most likely....

So what is the solution then?

 

I use that GKWT every single day, if that constitutes as excessive querying well then...you know...

 

I CAN access it now, but let's see how long.

 

Google is getting ridiculous.

 

ps Harpsound, from that quote it looks like your using the same VPN as me.

Google doesn't need "to know them all"

 

It simply needs to know any one IP that is sending a lot of queries, they don't know it could be 500 DIFFERENT  people using the same VPN!!!!
