In my view there are 2 types of penalties. A time based penalty where a website is downgraded for a period of time based on the serverity of the crime committed, for example to much link building or buying links etc. The second is a permanent total ban whereby the whole website is removed from Googles index never to be seen again. This is applied in extreme cases eg. A lot of the Build My Rank and ALN blog network sites that have recently been reported as being hit.

 

You must to read Google's Blog. And some guidelines while you doing SEO.

 

now days google started using their penalty features. They are banning website and dropping their search engine ranking overnight. You may wake up one morning and you find your website on the 5 or 6 page from first page. This is happening with many website. Google are not giving any preference to any one.

 

one post and he is banned? LOL

 

Yes they are... they give preference to those that care and abide by the rules, provide quality and take the time to look after their websites - if you're another spammer building links with blog comments - then you will suffer.

Haha yup - but that wont stop people from responding to him... even a banned members post can boost your post count...

 

Typically, most webmasters find out the hard way that their web site is no longer ranking high (or appearing) in the SERPs. Matt Cutts posted some information about how they notify webmaster of Google penalties which is a postive step towards correcting the problem.

What is the difference between a ban and a penalty?

*

A ban results in complete and total removal of your entire site from Google's search index, and is generally reserved only for major spam infractions (like using bots to spam guestbooks for the purpose of acquiring inbound links).
*

A penalty causes your pages to drop in rankings, but if you search for some specific text from those pages you still find them in the index. This is reserved for less serious types of spamming (such as linking too many of your own sites together or packing a bit too many keywords in your image alt text).

If you’ve been hit with a penalty, correct the problems, then submit a reconsideration request.

These are the known types of Google Penalties:

*

-6 Ranking Penalty — This newest Google penalty hit webmasters in #1 positions with no warnings whatsoever. Google had said it was a mistake and quickly fixed it. But the general theory is that the penalty came about due to stagnant linking or over-optimization.
*

-30 Suppression Penalty: This penalty seems to hit web sites that focus on AdWords and have very little content. These are typically web sites that participate in guestbook spamming, use JavaScript redirects (instead of a 301 Redirect), or use doorway pages. Web pages with links that have redundant anchor text keywords seem to also fall to the #30+ ranking position.
*

–50 Paid Links Penalty: Google wants to see a rel=nofollow tag on that link so that it doesn't pass PageRank. Those who attempt to buy their way into the upper rankings via Link Farms, Directory Lists and such found their web site(s) were hit with a -50 penalty.

These penalties seemed to been a major disruption to thousands of web sites during the last quarter of 2007. This type of penalty could also be triggered by suspicious link exchanges and participation in various link schemes as defined in the Google Webmasters Guidelines.
*

PageRank Penalty: This first appeared in October 2007. Google sent out this wave of penalties that targeted web sites selling links and sponsored blog posts which passed page rank on to advertisers. Large web sites saw their PageRank number drop drastically. This Google Penalty affected nearly everyone on the Internet. Which is somewhat ironic because PageRank have very little to do with calculations in search results.
Quote: "This is our respectful hint for you to worry less about PageRank, which is but one of over 200 signals that can affect how your site is crawled, indexed and ranked."
*

Google -950 Penalty: The most severe of all known Google penalties. Some think that this penalty is the "last straw" and Google will just remove your web site from their index if you don't get your act together and play by their rules. This penalty seems to be applied to a specific pages on a site and not to the entire web site.

The current theory with the -950 Penalty is that it has to do with either affiliate linking, content and search relevance, or aggressive link building to a specific page. This penalty is basically the kiss of death as it would take many many months to undo the damage even if you were able to make your web site squeaky clean again for Google.

 

Well, I have heard about these penalties but never heard about such penalties from Google itself.

There are people who claim to get hurt by such penalties.

Actually, there are only two types of penalties, Manual penalty and algorithmic penalties.

 

Can anyone here provide a source to actual google reports by google employees verifying that there is a "sandbox" or penalty system used by google? From my research on the topic I've read about many people getting there domain de-indexed from google if it's < 1 year old and they get too many backlinks. However, I don't think anyone knows for certain (other then the writers of the algorithm at google) how the google penalty system works.

 

i have never seen specfic number penaltys that you list but i have one recently i am still trying to recover from:

Dear site owner or webmaster of (my site)

We've detected that some of your site's pages may be using techniques that are outside Google's Webmaster Guidelines.

Specifically, look for possibly artificial or unnatural links pointing to your site that could be intended to manipulate PageRank. Examples of unnatural linking could include buying links to pass PageRank or participating in link schemes.

We encourage you to make changes to your site so that it meets our quality guidelines. Once you've made these changes, please submit your site for reconsideration in Google's search results.

If you find unnatural links to your site that you are unable to control or remove, please provide the details in your reconsideration request.

If you have any questions about how to resolve this issue, please see our Webmaster Help Forum for support.

For the time based penalty, how long will it take to get back to the previous position. ?

 

How old was your domain at the time you received this? And did you buy backlinks? If so, how many?

Thanks.

 

It's depend on various factors like over optimization, keyword stuffing, duplicate content etc.

 

I think for getting much information about Google's Penalty , you need to get towards the Google's Official Blog !!!

 

Dear,

You are right. Just take care of Google. it will take care of you ..

 

Work in a genuine manner and don't under-estimate the Google bots as Google is now following the Semantic Search..!!
It is just thinking in human's way to get the best results,,
So, its better not to spam the WEB as the users are we only who always crawl for the best links..!!
