GOOGLE.com - Now Limiting how many searches you can do???

[reliable1]

are you accessing the Internet through AOL? AOL has an enormous dynamic pool that they typically parse out into geographic regions and depending upon geographic access point you can get pooled into the same group of IPs on a regular basis. If Google is looking at specific IPs or specific IP blocks there may be an active spammer in your group and you're getting penalized. The same could be said of other networks that work the same way but AOL is by far the biggest (and the worst). Another possibility is that you have an open relay (what spammers use to propogate spam via other peoples' networks) in your network and your specific IP or that of your provider is on blackhole lists. I do not know if Google uses any of the popular black lists but this is a good resource to find out if it applies to you or your ISP:

The very idea of google treating me like a customer sounds good, but customers pay for stuff. Google is free. Like most everything they offer. Those Analytics they offer for free, use to cost $1000s of dollars a year to use before google bought them out and said, "Here, use our old competition for free".

I'm waiting for the day when they say it will cost you $0.89 /day to use all the features in your account!

I use a lot of google's feature regularly and somewhat rely (as many internet people in the world do) on them.

Maybe not for a few years, would be bad to do it now given the crisis the world is experiencing, but maybe in the next year.

Congrats you're google's b1tch, we all are in some way
And that's a lot of power for one company (not) to abuse

I'll wh0re my sites out to whom ever is paying highest.

It's the very idea of Selling Out that put Google in their very powerful position.
Most everybody is ready to cash in on an idea that works, rather than milking the idea for themselves. Milking may be too much work. Kinda like developing.

Cash or work. hmmm see how easy we all make it for the Googles of the world.

But then again 165 billion in G stock for youtube, you'd be a fool to turn it down?!

We don't fight the powers, we contribute to their growth.

Take credit cards as an example.
You hear people b1tch and moan all the time how those banks and credit corporations are taking over everything & have all the power and money.

Don't people realized that merchants lose money on CC payments.
Visa charges 1.9% of the sale + 29 cents, and that's if your there in person with your card, more if your not.
So every time you use your credit card your taking from the people your shopping/buying from and giving that financial power to those Companies again.
Then on the way home take some time to b1tch about interest rates.
Are people not aware?

Pay with cash when you shop local, Use credit for business.
Every dollar spent on a product or service is a vote for that product or service.
Every time it's paid with credit we give a little more power to the ALREADY POWERFUL.

So about Google .....If it's free it's for me & I'll take 2

Google has once again blocked me from manually entering searches. I've been entering different terms - ONLY BY TYPING THEM IN... (maybe around 100 to 150 searches in three hours) then I get this message...
