Why are you doing Bad Neighbor link checks if you make something like Adobe Reader?

You don't have to scrape Google they have an API for Search that is about $10 per 1000 calls at volume.

I have done this for BILLIONs of links.




You think the Adobe never built any bad links? I know many such large companies that are spendings hundreds of thousands of dollars a year or more buying links.

Do you have a link to the API, please? Thanks!


Custom Search, Don't specify any rules which would interact with the results you are testing against. (like add a rule that favors a parked domain.)

If they are buying those links then finding the bad ones is as easy as contacting the people they cut checks to.
