- Obtaining that information automatically, although relatively easy and good for a fun time, expressly violates Google's ToS. They have a client library for automated queries, but it only allows 1000 queries per account per day, and doesn't yet work with Google Groups.
- As we know, raw NANAS counts can be extremely misleading. For instance, as you pointed out a few days ago, yahoo.com has > 0.5M NANAS hits.
By forcing someone to click on the "[ NANAS ]" link, GetURI plays nicely with Google, and encourages people to hand-check NANAS hits to look for spamvertised examples. I'd worry that with raw counts automatically displayed, that some would draw false conclusions from "xx NANAS".
Fair enough. :-)
One feature to consider adding to GetURI: if it doesn't already, could it check www.domain.com against SBL?
