Check out the translations you get for seoblackhat from the plugin in the footer.

The translation plug-in on the blog changes over to an as-if of google’s as-if-spam error page…

That some kind of April Fools gag on me from Google?

   You mean the “Sorry, this looks like an automated request from spyware..” page?

   It’s been doing that for weeks, there’s a post or two about it on the forum.

   Quad:

   This is what i got:
   “………. but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can’t process your request right now.
   ………..”

   Some day ago i clicked on the the translation plugin of Chinese, frankly the chinese translation of your blog is a big joke, it can’t be read at all (full of grammar mistakes and typos!).

   well, out here on the left coast despite the Title saying error 403 we’re finding the pages returning status code 200, and all still on usual domain + favicon…

   playful, to say the least.
