5 Steps to Get Banned by Search Engines

You want to remove your website from Search Engine Result pages? Well, search engine usually do not coerce you into following its guidelines, but if you notoriously work against them, you will finally find your website completely blacklisted. While some marketers would do it with no regard to search engine listing advantage, others find their sites blacklisted by shock. For whatever reasons you would want to get your website scrapped from Google listing, here are some things to consistently do.

1. Duplicate Content or Page

I must admit not every seo specialist is favorable with writing original content for their blogs, websites and social media profiles. They simply syndicate it from a string of other authors and think it will add some input in search engine ranking. Google ‘dislikes’ duplicated content. In fact, it is worse if you have published their ads in your website with duplicated content. You will surely get banned!

To add on that, content is one thing that anyone venture into online marketing, particularly on search engine marketing, can not afford to disregard. If you can’t develop enough content for your web needs, find a web writing expert who is knowledgeable in creating web copy as well as SEO optimized articles. Otherwise, most expert link building will also have some significant input in the same.

2. Link farming

Initially, there were no limits to where anyone could obtain links from. However, people started abusing the privilege by creating mass links by use of software with no regard to quality content and online readership. A number of companies started offering link farming services where website owners could literally buy links to boost their ranking. Google came in and amended their guidelines to violate link farming, also know as spamdexing, and so, anyone doing it risks being blacklisted by the search engine.

3. Malicious code

While some webmasters and SEO expert are known to add some malicious codes within the web pages to fool the search engine robots, other pages could be infected without that intention. If your website is infected by some kind of malware or virus in your web pages, then Google will start showing a warning message in their search engine results page. Eventually, they’ll ban the pages.

4. Bad Links

Google has violated obtaining of back-links from some websites. If you are trying to build back links from violated sites that endorse hackers, crack, cheat codes, porn, etc, then your website will surely going to get banned.

5. Hidden Text-links

Another common blackhat techniques some people try to do is populate keywords and text links in a section of a website and make font color match to the background of the web page so that it can be invisible. This is done since Google and other search engines are attracted by keywords and links when ranking or indexing pages. However, this violates the policies of Google and it can lead to your site getting blacklisted.
