Introduction:

. Google Penalty & Recovery idea:

Search Engine Optimization is the process of developing web sites to achieve high rankings on

search engines, which in turn increases traffic to your website Organic SEO is an important part of

website SEO that can bring more traffic to your website. Organic SEO is the process of optimizing a

website in a natural manner and does not include paid campaigning. It is one of the most prominent

methods to increase volumes of targeted traffic to a website. But this process becomes a harmful for

website ranking and traffic when it’s done access and more for websites. This is called “Google

Penalty” dude to over stuff for particular website.

In this presentation, I want to discuss about some process of “SEO” which helps to grow ranking

and traffic. And about “Google Penalty”, its effects and its solution which pull Out Of a “Google

Penalty”.

Have you seen your Google traffic coming down to zero in last 2-3 days and wondering what is

going on? Well there could be only two reasons. One people are not searching for your keywords

which is not possible. Other is your site has been penalized by Google and most probably this is the

reason you are not getting visitors to your site.

.Why Google Penalty:

There are some points which region of Google penalty of site. Website not follows rules according

to Google Webmaster Guidelines. Website might be engaged in one or more of following activities.

1. Keyword stuffing on website pages

2. Cloaking

3. Duplicate content from other websites

4. Paid back links

5. Hidden text

6. Linking to websites that are involved in above activities (bad neighborhood)

.Kind of Google Penalties:

Filtering – This is mild form of penalty. Google adjusts website page ranking and indexing. So if

website was ranking at number one for certain keywords, website’s ranking will come down for

those keywords.

-950 Ranking penalties – This penalty is imposed on pages of website not on complete website.

Google moves your webpage to 950th position.

-60 Ranking penalties – Google moves complete website to 6th page on search result

-30 /-40 Ranking penalties – Google moves your website to 3rd/4th pages. (-60 and -30/-40

ranking penalties are imposed mostly because of duplicate contents)

Complete Ban – This is the harshest penalty wherein Google completely bans a website and

removes it from its index. So if you search for just name of website, you will not see website in

search list.

How to check for Google Penalty

Search for website domain name without “www” and without your domain (like .com/.net/.org. For

example if you want to check if this domain has been penalized or not, searches for blog demy. If

your website is not on number one, you have been penalized. To find out what penalty, check page

3/4, page 6 or page 95.

.The precautions, need to follow to avoid and fix the Google

Penalty?

Here some tips how to avoid and fix Google Penalty:

1- Google Penalty because of providing outbound links to banned websites: You must to check

all website outbound links if any website is banned by Google.

2- Linking to bad neighborhoods Google Penalty: You check that website is not linking to any

bad neighborhoods, doorway pages or link farms. Bad neighborhoods include spammed websites

and doorway pages, while link farm pages are just pages which contains non relevant link

depository.

3- Automated query Google penalty: Google penalties sometimes can be caused by using

automated query tools which make use of Google’s API, particularly when such queries are made

from the same IP address that hosts your site. Such tools break Google’s terms of service (as laid out

in their Google webmaster guidelines). Google allows certain automated queries into its database

using its analytic tools and when accessing through a registered Google API account. Unauthorized

types of automated query can cause Google penalty when used excessively.

4- Over SEO optimization Google Penalty: These things can be triggered by poor SEO techniques

such as aggressive link building using the same keyword or phrase in link anchor text. When

managing link building campaigns always vary the link text used and incorporate a variety of

different keyword terms. Use a backline anchor text analyzer tool to check backlines for sufficient

keyword spread. Optimizing for high paying keywords like “Viagra” can further elevate risk, so mix

in some long tail keywords into the equation. For brand new domains, add no more than 5 new one

way backlines a week and use deep linking to website internal pages, rather than just homepage

link building.

5- Website cross linking & link schemes Google Penalty: If you run more than one website and

the Google penalty hits all sites at the same time, check the interlinking (cross linking) between

those sites. Extensive interlinking of websites, particularly if they are on the same C Class IP

address can be viewed as “link schemes” by Google, breaking their terms of service. The risks are

even higher where site A site wide links to site B and site B site wide links back to site A. If you must

use site wide links, make sure they are not reciprocal links. Link schemes built around links in the

footer of each webpage are particularly risky. The reality is that site wide links do little to increase

site visibility in the Google SERPS, nor do they improve Page Rank more than a single link, as Google

only counts one link from a site to another.

6- Invisible text or links Google Penalty: Remove all invisible text from website content and

remove any hidden keywords. Such content may be hidden by using CSS or alternatively, text may

have been coded to be the same color as the page background, rendering it invisible. These risky

SEO techniques often cause of a Google penalty or web site banned by Google so hidden text should

be removed immediately.

7- Keyword stuffing Google Penalty: Remove keyword stuffing in your website content

(unnatural repetitions of the same phrase in body text) if there are. Always use natural, well written

ethical seo copywriting techniques.

8- Automated page redirects Penalty: The use of automated browser re-directs in any of your

pages. Meta Refresh and JavaScript automated re-directs often result in Google penalties as the

pages using them are perceived to be doorway pages. This technique is especially dangerous if the

refresh time is less than 5 seconds. To avoid Google penalties, you can use a 301 re-direct or Mod

Rewrite technique instead of these methods. This involves setting up .htaccess file on your web

server.

9- Link buying or selling Google Penalty: Check for any paid links. There is some evidence that

buying links can hurt rankings and this was implied by comments from Matt Cuts on his SEO blog in

which he discuss Google seo tips. Matt states that Google will also devalue links from companies

selling text links, such that they offer zero value to the recipient in terms for improving website

rankings or Page Rank. More recently, Google applied a Page Rank penalty to known link sellers and

many low quality directories.

10- Reciprocal link building campaigns Google Penalty: Excessive reciprocal linking may

trigger a Google penalty or cause a SERPS filter to be applied when the same or very similar link

anchor text is used over and over again and large numbers of reciprocal links are added in a

relatively short time. The dangers are made worse by adding reciprocal links to low quality sites or

websites which have an unrelated theme. Google Backlink over Optimization Penalty causes sudden

drops in SERPS ranking. To avoid this problem, reciprocal link exchange should only be used as part

of a more sustainable SEO strategy which also builds quality one way links to original website

content.

11- Check Google Guidelines

Read the Google Webmaster Guidelines thoroughly and check website compliance in all respects.

Google may alert webmasters via the Google Webmaster Console who they feel might have

unknowingly broken their guidelines to advise them that their site has been removed from Google

for a set period of time due to breaking one or more of Google’s Webmaster Guidelines. However,

blatant spam or significant breaches of Google’s rules will often result in a site being banned, with

no Webmaster Console notification. Where notification of a violation of Google’s guidelines is

received, it usually encourages the webmaster to correct the problem and then issue a re-inclusion

request to re-include their site. From my experience, after this is done the website will usually

regain its original ranking, having lost no trust.

12- Google Webmaster Central

Google is improving webmaster communication with respect to banned and penalties websites.

Google is now informing some webmasters the cause of a website ban or penalty, via their excellent

new Webmaster Console. In addition, a Google re-inclusion request can be made from the same

interface. For this reason, if you’ve been hit by a web site ban or penalty, it is worthwhile signing up

for Google Webmaster Tools and uploading an XML Sitemap onto your site and then to check site

status in the Google Webmaster Console. This is an easy 10-15 minutes job and may help to identify

the cause of Google Penalty and fix for the problem!

When all issues are fixed then send a re-inclusion request to Google.

.How to recover from Google Penalty:

Google slaps penalty because its algorithm think that your website is flouting Google Webmasters

Guidelines. There is no magic formula to recover from these penalties. One of the ways is to go

through Google Webmasters Guidelines and review your website against those guidelines. Remove

a thing (webpage, link etc) that violates those guidelines. This should help your website ranking.

But as everything is algorithmic it will take time and there no guarantee that you will get our

website to front page of Google. You can also request Google to reconsider your website after you

have done complete clean up. This is again time consuming process and you do not know when

your request will be considered. For this reason, it is advisable to abandon your website and start

new one. You can also create a new blog page a put unique and fresh content in it. Because

according to Google panda “Content is a king”. Google loves fresh and new content. It searches

always for new content.

Another idea that you can try is to get more traffic through social media sites like facebook, twitter

and social networking sites. Though it is not going to make up for lost organic traffic but till your

new website comes up there is no harm in trying.

Important Note – “Important lesson to learn is never depend on only one source for getting

visitors. Make social traffic building task as important as SEO.”

S you know SEO is more important for generate traffic and leading SERP for website. There

are some process which known as “Off Page SEO”. Off page SEO or search engine optimization is

doing things off site to improve your sites search engine rankings. The only thing you can do off site

to increase your rankings is build up more links. More links will generally lead to better Google

Page Rank and better search engine rankings.

.Off Page SEO Process:

Once the on-page optimization likes bolding text, keyword in title, Meta tags are some things which

you should do for your website is complete than we move ahead to the off-page optimization

process introducing it to the actual World Wide Web. Off page optimization is important as well as
