Google blogsearch - sometimes you suck 403 forbidden

Error 403 Forbidden doesn’t suck. The person that doesn’t experiment to try and rid themselves of such problems and whines when things go wrong sucks.

You can get this error in everyone of Google’s Products. It’s simply a corrupted cookie problem.

When you receive Google Error 403 Forbidden simply delete the Google.com cookies, restart your browser, and sign in again to get fresh cookies.

I don’t know what causes this error or how to fix it. But this is a good workaround until a fix is discovered.

Yes, many of us are getting this error.

You can correct the problem by contacting google directly at this link:http://www.freebsddiary.org/google-links-forbidden-original.php

Ah yes but scraping google and trying to read their blogsearch results are two different things entirely

Haha – I thought I was the only one who was getting this. Mine wasn’t through blog search though but google.co.uk

I agree – it’s IP based. I get this page when using a few scripts (running a few threads per second) to hit google to pull data for various app/projects were working on. I couldn’t really argue on that score, lol.

Not so good if it’s appearing when you hit google twice in quick succession.

Oh – and personally I thought the page was OK – explained it quite clearly I thought?

@ Matthew – Toolbar, could be a factor. I often think that Se’s are SEO paranoid and do all sorts of things to throw them of the scent.

@ Carla – yes Im kinda with that theory too, but thats all it is a theory. Glad you liked the little poke, sometimes its difficult not to

@ Stephen – ah right China could be an extra special problem huh? Let us know if you have anymore feedback on the IP thing, I haven’t seen it for a while though, so maybe they fixed it…

I get the same problem with Google search from time to time to.

I live in China, so I often use TOR to access certain sites that are blocked (such as blogspot.com or technorati). This means that I appear to have a different IP than I really have. I hadn’t thought about it before, but I will watch to see if I get the google search error when I’m using TOR – this might confirm the IP range theory.

It’s all IP I think. When we travel to the States we see this at different IPs. We used to get it at home too, but have not for a long time.

Like the little jab though……Google….make pages for users…heheheh

Google toolbar search throws up this message a good 25-30% of the time for me. I’m sure I’m not *that* frequent a user for it to be problematic. (I’m with Tiscali BTW)
