SEO cheating

SEO cheating and getting banned from Google

Once you complete your new website, you want to let the world know who you are and where to find you. You do this by submitting your website to the many search engines available. The temptation to spam the engines at this point is high, and many people who find themselves in this position make all the wrong decisions.

Spamming the engines is honestly not the answer. The search engine spiders are far more intelligent than they were just a few years ago, and they will quickly pick up on your attempts to spam them.

Even those who do it ’successfully’ and think they are getting away with it, most likely don’t realize that they have already been caught, and that their site is being penalized in some fashion or form. And when they finally go too far, their domain will be banned

Also, for those who think they are getting away with it because their site is currently ranking highly, just remember that the higher you rank, the more likely you are to have your site reviewed by a competitor to see how you did it. Spam is not very difficult to spot, and if you are outranking someone in a competitive market through use of a spamming technique, the odds of you being reported are high.

I don’t know about you. But I couldn’t sleep at night like that.

The good news is that you can achieve high ranking without using any spam techniques at all. So why take the risk? You can be honest and still win!

Nevertheless, many people who are guilty of spamming the search engines don’t even realize they are doing it. So, in this segment, I’ll list some of the more common methods that people believe will improve their rank, but actually result in their ranking going down.
