Can anyone tell me why TODAY a Google employee has penalized my website www.spikeblog.com. It does not have duplicate content, I am only affiliating Amazon.com and making $75 a day with it from Amazon. All my posts are to Amazon.com. I only make $4-$5 a day with adsense. Why has Google penalized my site. I was so looking forward to making some decent money online. I also have a youtube channel with 600+ subscribers. www.youtube.com/spikeblog and post funny fails every now and then.
What makes you think you have been penalised? Had a look at your site! It's not penalised but should be. Has no decent navigation, looks a mess. I'm surprised its generating any income. In a nutshell your site is completely SH*TE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the truth hurts.... Many people come to these forums with sites that are of no use to anyone and then wonder why they have been banned by Google. Do some work on your site so its at least some use to your visitors and stop acting like a child with statements like 'i hope u get banned'.
Yes, I am confused how you can see your site been penalized... It's weird, and I don't think you can earn $75 a day if you can't make money with adsense
Why do you think your site is penalised by Google employee? The Google penalty probability for your domain name is 0%. All the best.
Why would i be "looking for attention" you idiot. I've posted it to Google Forum. http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=2b617e3088898da7&hl=en
I have checked and found no penalized criteria on your website 1. Your website has a lot of indexed pages in Google (39,600 pages) 2. Your website still has inbound links counted by Google (17 links) 3. Your website ranking #1 when searched for both domain name with and without extension The only reason your website might have a dropped in ranking is your content. It seems you have a mixed content between the feed from Amazon and some written by you. I would recommend you increase the ratio of original content if possible.
I don't understand. Did you get a notice from Google that your site was penalized? Was it a penalty with your adsense account?
Wouldn't it be good if there was a way to ask Google whether you site has been penalised? We are campaigning for the introduction of this fair transparency measure - add your site to our growing list of case studies today.
I can not say exactly that your site has been penalized by the Google. You should contact to the Google about the particular matter.
From experience, Google will not reply to any such enquiries. The only process in place is the submission of a "reconsideration request" - however, this only ever yields automated responses rather than any specific replies.
First of all your website is not banned by Google Search engine because of this: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:http://www.spikeblog.com/&pws=0&gl=US You can read these two resources to know whether your website is banned or not and if banned then what to do then?

I know why it got a penalty. Its called the -50 penalty. I got it for being what google calls "a thin affiliate". read about it here. http://www.pickledshark.com/thin-affiliate-site/ I thought it was ok but the google says no to that sort of thing.
