Yup, and even if you think you've got them figured out, they’ll change to make sure you dammed well haven't anymore
I think Google might remove some penalties on older sites, but am not sure if it's Links selling related...? It might be adsense related and they will allow some websites to show ads as before, If the domain was blocked !
I have come across a site which was banned by google for selling links and its PR came down from 4 to no PR. Now, it shows PR 0...
Does Google lift all penalties immediately after filing a reinclusion request and a website is found clean? Or is there a period of time where nothing can be done?
Is there some way of knowing what penalties a website has incurred? I saw on another thread someone saying they had -30 points.
last year I had my site lost its PR from PR5 to PR4 and I thought Google had me penalized because I was buying links from other related sites that time. Last week until today I got a drastic increase in my rankings, 99% of my keywords went up. some of 'em from 100th page went up to top 5, 1st page and in 2nd page. I was kinda surprised then. Well if this rumor is true, well Google's being kind for removing/expiring my penalties if there's any.
