This type of sanctions are carried out by a Google employee, with malice aforethought and premeditatio Those in charge of applying them are called Quality Raters, and in principle, they would belong to Matt Cutts’ anti-spam team. Well, the truth is that Google is only looking for webmasters to stick to their quality criteria in the SERP’s, even though their decisions can cost companies a lot of money. Today we are going to see what a manual penalty consists of, how to make a reconsideration request to solve the problem and, in case we are denied, what alternatives we have left. Índice de contenidos [Mostrar] When can a manual penalty be applied to me? If a Google employee goes to the trouble of applying a penalty, it is because he has seen something.
And that you have seen may be: Artificial external link profile Purchase/sale of links Poor content Plagiarized or spined content Hidden text Structured marking with misleading content Spam (in a broad sense) Malware on the site Country Email List Keyword over-optimization Etc. To see the full list of what Google considers “bad practices”, you can visit the Webmaster Guidelines page. The most controversial thing about manual penalties is that they can also affect you if you have received spam links from your competitors, or from blackhaters who want to screw up your project. User-generated spam also counts, so keep an eye on what’s happening on your website! How can the “manual jobs” of Google employees affect me? Manual penalties are based on the severity of the infractions. “And that, how do you measure…?”, you may ask.
Well… nobody knows for sure, apart from the person who applies the sanction. The only certainty is that, as a result of a manual penalty, the positioning of your site may fall in the SERP’s, to varying degrees, or disappear from Google, if it is judged that you have violated the search engine’s quality standards too much. In fact, one of the first things you should do is to check if your website still appears in the search results, using the command “site:”, followed by your domain (without a space in between). If you have been deindexed… start worrying! The good thing is that, unlike automatic penalties resulting from an algorithm update, if it is an employee acting, you receive a notification through Google Webmaster Tools (GWT). To view penalties: Control panel > Search traffic > Manual actions In general, two different types of actions can be applied to you: Partial matches: are those that only affect a part of your web page, one or several specific URLs, or certain links.
