Hidden texts without penalty

Hi..

Do have a look at greaterbangalore [dot] com

select all and view the page below the fold...
Still sitting pretty in google's index

 

Very sneaky (well, kind of). I remember reading on Matt Cutts' Blog not long ago that G were really trying to crack down on these underhand tactics. I've just had a scan through the Google webmaster guidelines but it doesn't give any instructions about what to do if you find a site in violation.

 

Hi, If you think this is a spam result, report it then:

http://www.google.com/contact/spamreport.html

I'm sure Yahoo, MSN and Ask all have their own utilities, but I only use Google.

 

I really doubt whether they see all these..
even I have reported some other sites..

 

well

i've reported some sites also and guess what? they're all in Google index.

ok ok, bláblá blá, they'll get caught, blá blá blá... it seems to me that Google loves this kind of stuff.

 

I think G employees are just too busy ,will they look at this kind of things? I doubt.

 

wow wow wow. Nice find. Hidden text. I am surprised, peoples are doing this at this level of seo maturity.

 

Most of the time, Google will not manually go over the spam reports.. They are trying to adjust their algoritmes to detect these kind of spam sites...

 

Yeah,it's called 'Black Hat SEO',people who are doing this are just playing with fire!

 

if enough of us report the site in question then maybe Google will listen and kick their lying, cheating asses off the index.

 

I wouldn't worry about it. It's a waste of your time to get mad about it.

 

I don't want to be the one to get caught using hidden text and putting all my hard work down the drain

SEO Inc is an SEO company that was using techniques like this one and they got kicked out of Google, they got reinstated recently but they don't even rank for their own name

 

Really. SEO company did it.

This is sure, it have learnt a lesson and other learn from their mistake except few

 

Hi dear i am totally confused what you want to ask..

 

haha how do people actually think they can get away with this? isnt it that if you get caught you get banned?

 

webflexx dot com also do this without penalty

 

Google prefer to adjust their algorithm to remove these sites as opposed to manually remove every one.

If you need to report a site, my tip is to do it through your Webmaster console on Google, as these reports are treated as a priority.

And yes, I have reported sites before that have subsequently been removed from the index.

 

This is not a gud way and i am very surprised people still doing such type of rubbish things.

 

Its too bad to see the very same site listed in DMoz as well

http://dmoz.org/Regional/Asia/India/Karnataka/Localities/Bangalore/Business_and_Economy/Real_Estate/

We are struggling hard to get white hat sites into DMoz , but at the same time such sites are already listed..

WTF is this?

 

i've heard that using a color that is different but very close to the backround color could set off a penalty?

like light gray on a white background. true?
