    Banned or got an Penalty from Google? 10 SEO Tricks You Should Avoid!

    Black Hat SEO is going to be popular this Year and many SEOs and Webmasters using now BHS Tools to manipulate their Rankings.

    Everyone want to make money online and want to be successfull with his webproject, but Google always working against spammy black hat seo tricks. So here are some bad SEO Tricks you should never learn and do! Be carefully with google now cause they get more genius as last year.


    Don't like being found in Google? Here are some sure fired ways to lower your ranking and get the worst search engine results. These are the worst of the worst dirty seo tricks, and they can lower your Google ranking or just get you banned.

    Getting page views at any cost are not good Seo Tricks. It never works in the long run, even if it may work for a short while. Beware of any company that recommends you employ any of these techniques. JC Penny's recently learned the lesson. Their Black Hat SEO technique of paying for links worked incredibly well until a New York Times reporter uncovered the scheme.



    1. Cloaking

    You can design your website to be efficiently catalogued by Google, and you can specify which sites should be cached or ignored by Googlebots. Designing your Web site so that search engines see one thing and visitors see totally different content is called cloaking. This can be done with advantages redirects or with programming, and it's strictly vorbidden.

    Nobody likes to be tricked this way. If they're looking for a website on knitting, they'll be very ticked to end up on a website about horses. Or ads. Let's face it, the redirected site is never about anything fun.

    Cloaking your Web site is a sure-fire way to get banned by Google and probably the worst thing you could do for Google.



    2. Duplicate Content

    Spam sites sometimes try to collect page views by duplicating the same content on multiple pages.

    Don't copy and paste large amounts of text from your own pages, and certainly don't violate copyright by copying content from elsewhere. Google has been known to ban sites that duplicate too much content or at least severely penalize their ranking in search results.

    This can occasionally cause problems, because some spamming Web site might be duplicating your content. If you find someone violating your copyright this way, you can let Google know.

    More Informations and discussion about this you can find here: http://www.imtalk.org/f13/595-how-co...n-website.html



    3. Have a Robot Write Your Web Site

    Just as it's a bad idea to duplicate content, it's a worse idea to get a machine to write your content for you. There are programs out there that duplicate the same content but make a few changes here and there. If Google catches you, and they're pretty good at catching this, you can kiss your page views goodbye.

    Write your own content. That's as simple as it gets. Don't buy "instant AdSense" Web sites. If this really made lots of passive money, they wouldn't be selling them.

    If you really want to earn more with Adsense then you should follow theses Adsense Tips: http://www.imtalk.org/f29/2193-adsen...obunny-de.html


    4. Add Keywords that Don't Relate to Your Content

    Meta keywords aren't that important to Google anymore. However, when you list keywords, do list keywords that directly relate to your site, and don't repeat the same keyword multiple times. Spamming keywords by listing every word in the dictionary is a great way to have your ranking lowered in Google.

    Likewise, don't use the trademarked names of products made by your competitors as keywords. At best it's a bad user experience, at worse it can get you sued by those competitors.



    5. Link Exchanges and Bad Neighborhoods

    Linking ordinarily would make you a good neighbor and a good citizen of the Internet. However, just because someone links to you does not obligate you to link back to them. Sometimes you do get judged on the quality of the friends you keep. Google calls spamming sites bad neighborhoods, and linking to them could lower your PageRank.

    Link exchanging software, paid links placement, and other schemes to manipulate Google PageRank are far worse sins. You may get away with it for a while, but eventually Google will catch onto the sceme, and your search results will drop like an anchor. This is essentially what happened in the JC Penny's incident. The SEO firm they hired (and subsequently fired) created an artificial web of links.


    6. Hide Text

    Don't try to hide keywords or hide content by making the background color the same as the font color. This is called keyword stuffing or fontmatching. Google and other search engines are increasingly sophisticated at catching this, and they'll likely remove any offending Web sites from their search engine index.

    Likewise, watch how small you make the text. In a variation of keyword stuffing, some people try to put teeny tiny text at the bottom of a page. It doesn't work.



    7. Title Stacking


    Don't try to add extra <title> tags for more keywords. This cousin of keyword stuffing is called title stacking, and it won't win you any friends at Google.

    One title per page, please, although you may separate that title with a dash to hit a few more keywords that do relate to your unique content, such as "Pie Crust Recipe - Homemade Pastry Dough."



    8. Distribute Viruses, Trojans, or Other Badware

    If your site is distributing a virus, trojan, or other badware, Google's going to remove you from their index for the public good. This should be a no-brainer.

    Double check any software you agree to distribute to make sure it isn't harmful, and make sure your server is secure, so that hackers don't decide to hijack homepage and distribute malicious software for you.



    9. Doorway Pages

    Doorway pages or Gateway pages are pages that are seo optimized for one key term but are really designed to be gateways to lead you to different content. For instance the "blueberry," "strawberry," and "orange" gateways might all be designed to get you to go to "fruit punch."

    Doorway pages usually have very little in the way of original content and often cloak or redirect users to the intended Web site. Be aware of affiliate programs, because some of these may look like doorway pages to Google.



    10. Automated Inquiries

    Google doesn't appreciate robots writing your content, and they're even less appreciative of robots checking your ranking. Automated Google queries and automated link submission are both against Google's terms of service, and both of them can get your site banned. They tie up computing resources for everyone.




    In Conclusion


    Don't be a jerk. Optimize your Website for Google by designing a clear, well organized site. Gather traffic by writing original content qithout any copied content. Don't try to trick people or take the lazy way out of making a good website.

    However don't you think that it is ironic that Google is the #1 site in the world and it's OWN site consists ENTIRELY of duplicate content? It's funny how they try to penalize others for the same thing

    I also believe that Google will not be the #1 Forever...
    The next Generation is already growing up with these Technologies.

    And maybe there are some Harvord Nerds building up a new neverseen Searchengine... which gives better results than google.

    Hard to say on that. While people believe that Google is #1, it will stay number one.

    It is the people that make Google #1, not Google.

    I clicked the button and got the pop-up inviting me to make a profile, so it looks like it is working the same as on other sites that I have seen. Maybe other users don't have +1 profiles and are not sure that they want one??

    Also beware of building too many links in a short time - especially if the anchor text is not varied.
