Automated Queries
Google has very specific rules for webmasters to follow in order to get a decent page rank and stay away from the penalties and bans they give. One of the major and most common causes of a penalty from Google is the automated queries.
Automated queries are when you search for links with an automated program. In this case you are not even researching the links and you could be getting a great deal of banned or penalized sites such as Viagra and others. Google has publicly announced in several venues that they do not tolerate the automated queries, and that it could be grounds for immediate ban.
If you decide to use the computer tools for automated queries you may find that it is necessary to check your page rank every day because you will see it slipping and this is when you will realise just how much Google abhors the actual use of such things. When you use these options there are two rules that can save you. First never run the tools using keywords that would link to you. Second if you are running reports you should also check your competitors by running a few on them as well. This mystifies Google so that they can’t see who is actually using the automated queries.
