		<description><![CDATA[Just kidding.  There is no new Google RankCheck tool.  But there should be.  A couple days ago, I reported on how Google has finally blocked automated searches by software such as WebPosition.  This creates a vacuum in the marketplace - a vacuum best filled by&#8230;Google!
Yes, I think Google should announce a new GoogleCheck tool, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google has been threatening&#8230;er, promising to block rank-checking software such as WebPosition for years, and even mentions them by name in their webmaster guidelines.  It seems like Google has finally decided to honor its promise and block the software.
I was last able to check rankings on August 22.  Since then, nada.  A quick survey around the [...]]]></description>
