New Search Engine Penalities Announced.

Search engine penalties are present and pervasive, and are a primary method used by search engines to control webmasters. Unless webmasters understand what they are and what to do about them, their websites could easily trigger a penalty, Black List, Ban, or Get Pulled from the Database.

The search engines will not publicly admit that penalties exist, and in many cases are often vague when esponding to direct questions asked by phone, letter, or email.

Below is a short list of Practices that lead to a Search Engine Penalty:

Hidden Text

Cloaking - serving pages based on IP address (the spider ips are programmed into a server when a request is made to that server from one of the pre-programmed spider IP adresses a one time only optimized page is served, when a traditional user IP makes a page request the pages from the 'true site' are fed. Cloaking is discovered when the search engines engage their anonymous spider IPs.

Duplicates Websites - if multiple sites contaqin the same content and link structure most likely they have been organized in an attempt to improve their odds on a keyword phrase. Duplicate sites typically = SPAM therefore the spideres issue panalties to all aites involved in the duplicate sit network.

Automated Software Submissions: (especially over active programs) that submit the homepage or the top page of the site in an automated and redundant fashion.

If you feel your site has been penalized contact Peak Positions SEO for an expert opinion or send Google or Yahoo an email message stating that all problems have been removed. This should remove the penalty within 5-7 weeks.
