blackhat used but not blacklisted by google

Hello, I have seen a site which is appearing in the first page of google for a very popular keyword, and the homepage of this website has this keyword repeated about 20 times in white font so it is hidden against the white background.

I believe it has been there for about a month now, I have submitted the spam report for google, but they are still being listed so high, why? does it take months before google blacklist them?

thanks

 

That's awkward, it's not supposed to take long until the link is removed.

Cheers!

 

It depends that who check your report. Mostly such websites are removed.

 

Well, can you tell us the llink??

 

I thought keyword stuffing was generally in-effective anyway these days

 

black hat is kinder dis pointing to me cause i lost a few site using it

 

so how long does it normally take before it is removed please?

 

Could you at least tell us the keyword?

 

It really depends, but why do you care so much?, just skip the link and that's it

Cheers!

 

because it is unfair practice. keyword is "cheap clothes" , it is the site that has the title begins... Cheap Clothes at...

 

I am wondering if only keyword stuff with hidden text could cause the result. Most of English content websites are not easily to cheat by just put a keyword stuff unlike other language to be that effective. I am suspicious about their backlinks profile more than anything else anyway.

P.S. Their website may be removed but not because of the hidden text I would assume. It may has been removed because of other Grey / black hat stuff other than just hidden text after all.

 

Unfair, unfair but unfortunately there's nothing you can do about it but to contact Google again.

Good Luck.

 

So does that mean it is ok now to use hidden text on web pages? it will either get ignored by search engines as a bad practice or it serves no purpose at all in SEO?

 

Copy and paste the html code on to this thread where they are repeating the keyword, G will eventually take notice or the owner of the site will read this thread, panic and remove it.

 

I think must be complain to google

 

Google will take action when they discover this.

 

it may be ranking high;ly for other reasons. Like gazillions of backlinks. Without knowing the URL, we can't offer any more advice.

 

where/how do you report these link to, is there a report blackhatters in webmaster tools??

 

I don't think that a site ranks well because of the invisible even visible repetitive keywords.
Most probably the blackhat hurts its search result rankings and it can have much better rankings if it gets rid of the keyword stuff.
Have you checked its backlinks?

 

Hi,

I think it is totally unnecessary to hide keywords behind background colors since it is also white hat to repeat your main targeted keywords on your home page via them and their variant forms and relative keywords.

have a nice day,
