Will Google Ban Your Website? Off Page Factors
In this article, I'm going to dive into some of the offpage optimization factors/techniques that you should never ever do. First let's dispell some popular myths.
- If a "link farm" is linking to your website you'll get penalized and.or banned from Google - FALSE
- If unrelated websites are linking to you, your website will get penalized - FALSE
- Page Rank 1 websites won't help you because Google does not display PR1 websites in their backlink list - FALSE
You can only be penalized by Offpage optimization if you link with the bad URL. They are:
- Link Farms
- Penalized websites
Note: Black Hat SEO can expel your website from search engines. If you link to my website which is using “black hat” SEO you can be severely penalized without doing anything differently to your own site.
This can drop hundreds of the search positions even making you aware of what mistake you have committed.
There is good news!
By using SEO Elite, you can check whether you are linking to any bad neighbors. If you are linking to such sites just delete them immediately. This will lead to an increase in the ranking.
How?
When SEO Elite is finished processing, just click on the report view tab and check the column labeled "Google PR". If you see a website with a Google PR of 0, it is either banned by Google or it is a new website and the PR has not been updated by Google.
So you will have to keep a list of the websites that have a PR of 0. You will have to select radio button 6 within SEO Elite. Then you can visit if the website is still in Google's index. If you want to enter PR0 websites into the textbox, you can select the Google checkbox, and then click "ok".
If Google shows 0 results for the websites, this shows that they have been banned. You must immediately remove the link.
There is a website that provides opportunity to trade links with the other related sites. Signing up in the site is free of cost.
http://www.linkmetro.com is the site that allows quality websites to participate in the link trading which is automated and you can easily tell which a bad URL is and get rid off it from the directory.
