Brainpulse, with 20+ years in SEO, can help you recover from penalties and updates.
What is Google Penalty?
A Google Penalty is a kind of punishment imposed on websites by Google. The search engine penalizes websites that are found to be involved in malpractices. These are the websites that trick and manipulate Google standards for quick gains. Google penalty is of two types- manual penalty and algorithmic penalties.
Sometimes, Google triggers a penalty after an update to the ranking algorithm. This is called an algorithmic penalty. Likewise, a manual penalty is triggered after a manual review of the website. The penalty occurs if Google finds that the website is involved in black hat SEO strategies.
With these Manual/ algorithm updates, Google rewards websites that follow its quality standards set under Google’s webmaster guidelines. Following are the three important Google penalties that frequently occur and need to be fixed immediately.
Manual Google Penalty
As the name suggests, the penalty is levied after a manual review of a website by Google’s search engineers. There is always a team that conducts a review on the websites and demotes the pages in ranking if any deviation from the standard rules is found. The positive side of the manual penalty is that the website owner is notified by Google via messaging on the Search Console if any black hat activity is spotted.
Algorithmic Google Penalty
Unlike Manual, an algorithmic penalty is an automated corrective action taken against a website for its indulgence in spam, black hat, and manipulative tricks. Goole lowers a website’s search rankings if it breaches Google's quality standards. Most of the time the action happens just after the completion of an algorithmic update.
