I just posted a new thread below that you should read before this. In regards to us being delisted by Google because we have created a link farm which we had no idea we were doing and have since removed. This is where Google is a very poor search engine and you can show this to Matt Cutts, or any of the Google pros because they all will agree to this if they are smart people. Here it is.... We totally accept full responsibility for what we did and our business has been destroyed because of Google. However..... Google should at the very minimum allow the delisted site to rank for when a visitor searches for it exactly. By not allowing direct searches they are actually making Google look very bad. For example: if our site was "Bigyellowbeachballs.com" and was established for 5 years with lots of traffic and return visitors you would think that they would still allow it to rank if someone typed in "Big Yellow Beach Balls" in their search. But.... Google takes the delisting too far when they don't even allow a near exact search of the site. It makes google look silly and is not doing the #1 service Google sets out to achieve. "GIVE ACCURATE RESULTS TO THEIR USERS" But..... We are nowhere to be found even if someone tries to find us. And Google is making a major mistake. Yes.... Ban us on all our search terms. I totally agree that we messed up and should be punished. But when you ban a site for direct searches, you are hurting your users. Shame on Google.
I agree but they make 1 billion a month and you make less than 1% of that. They don't care man. Just wait it out, you'll get it back. Ask to be reinstated is what most people will say.
You should of limited the amount of websites you link to. They are a big company and don't really have time to listen to small claims like this. You need to follow the rules and regulations set forth by Google because they want to have quality not quantity. Why don't you think they sent 100 bots to every site and index every single page? Just fix all that needs to fix on your website and submit a reapproval to Google.
I'm not trying to be rude but, how can you plant a link farm and not know it? Were the links related in any way to the main (penalized) site?
We use the Google often now because of my work. But it do not have the great functions like they say. Tom Professional car diagnostic tool manufacturer
Arghhhh, why is everyone such amateurs and don't know what we are talking about? when you go and look for "blue widgets" and "bluewidgets.com" doesn't come up. Then you have a faulty search engine even the site is banned or not. Does anyone not get this? That is why some people are leaders and some followers. This is bad Google policy and must be stopped.
