Hi, I'm curious about this. How can you know that your website has been penalized by Google? Because you can't see your website in any SERPs or because your website get deindexed? Can someone explain this completely for me?
You can easily find out your website has panelized by Google yes or No. If you open you site in internet browser after it if Google tool bar works then your site hasn’t panelized by Google if Google tool bar doesn’t work then your site is panelized by Google.
So if I type my domain "xxxxx.com" in Google, then it appears, it means my site is not penalized, yes? I thought penalty is a kind of SERPs drop...
Not true.. To be frank, I don't think there is any sure way of finding out if you're penalized.. I've been down that road before.. All I know is that right now a lot of SERPs are jumping around in Google.. My site changes it's position daily.. If your site drops in the rankings, then try to think if you did anything wrong.. If you can think of something - fix it. After you fix it you can also submit it for re-inclusion with Google through Google Webmaster Tools.. it can't hurt. Another thing I would recommend on doing is going to the Google Webmaster Help group on groups.google.com and asking a question.. There are a bunch of people there that will tell you if they find anything wrong with your site including some Google employees every now and then.. You can also try posting your url here and people may be able to make suggestions.. If you don't want to give out your url then forget about my last two suggestions Elad
