Now, it’s been several weeks that Google has blocked the ‘WebPosition Gold’, Google’s widely used search engine rank checking tool. In a post, Matt Cutts and Googler JohnMu have also spoke about the reasons behind this and the methods that have been used to block such automated rank checking tools.

Now according to Search Engine Roundtable, it seems that Google is determined on its resolution to evade the block scrapers, by deliberately changing the search results in an effort to confuse the scrapers.

According to Search Engine Roundtable, “It seems like Google may have implemented a feature that is transparent to searchers but can totally mess up rank checking tools. This is not just impacted WebPosition Gold, but all scraper based tools, including the SEO Firefox plug-in.”
