FAQs
What is a Google penalty?
A Google penalty is applied when they deem your site has conducted activities that contravene their webmaster guidelines. The most common cause is spammy link building, in an attempt to manipulate search results. When a penalty occurs, a site is usually demoted in search results or worse, completely removed!
What is a backlink?
Backlinks refer to inbound links coming from third party sites to your own. In Google’s eyes, a link is perceived as a ‘vote’ of confidence, as any linking site is telling their readers that you are a useful resource and worth visiting.
What is considered a bad backlink?
Any links that are built or gained via link building schemes, such as link farms, low quality directories, paid or rented links, private blog networks and generally spammy content, is considered a bad backlink. This type of link building is referred to as “black-hat” link building or spamdexing.
How do you get a link penalty?
If you embark on a campaign of link building en masse, using techniques such as link exchanges, link networks, paid links, over-optimised anchor text or links that are generally from toxic neighbourhoods, you increase the chances of receiving a penalty.
Algorithmic vs manual action penalty - what's the difference
Algorithmic penalties occur when Googlebot crawls a website and discovers recent unnatural linking strategies, which may lead to ranking drops for certain target keywords.
As the name suggests, a manual action penalty is issued manually by a member of the Google search team if they suspect your website has been involved in unscrupulous link building activities. If you’ve been issued a manual action penalty, you may notice that one, several or even worst, your entire website has disappeared from search results. The severity of a manual penalty depends on how badly your website broke Google’s webmaster guidelines.
Can you recover from a Google penalty?
Yes, but the time that it takes to recover greatly depends on the severity of your own rule breaking.
If you only built a handful of offending links, then the time taken to identify and remove links should be fairly short. If you have been building toxic links for months or even years, the process could be far longer.
