Friday afternoon Google launched a new interactive page to show how its search works, just a lot of stats and a breakdown of the basic process.

But there's one link on that page that is actually super valuable to us in adult. This page shows around 50 examples of pages Google has deindexed for spam in the last hour: http://www.google.com/insidesearch/h...ting-spam.html

You can click through it and see real exaxmples of pages they found spammy enough to penalize. They of course don't tell you why they considered them spammy, but you can research the URLs to find out and compare what they did with what you're doing to make sure you don't raise the same flags.

This graph from that same page shows monthly penalties by type of spam.



Of all of the sites I've reviewed for clients I've found these to be the most common in adult:

Unnatural links from your site (link trading)
Thin content with little or no added value (model bio pages)
Unnatural links to your site (link trading and lazy link building)
Hidden text and/or keyword stuffing (common on tubes, dating and cams)
User-generated spam (blog comments)

Good stuff to know so you can be sure to steer clear of the mostly commonly hit techniques.

definitely going to check it out....

Damn, loads of hacked sites...

Yo Adrian

Especially when you look at the scale they're measuring.

Another thing I found interesting, check out how many more penalties there are for unnatural links from your site, compared to penalties for unnatural links to your site. A good heads up for link traders and sellers.. pay attention to who you're linking out to, quality counts more than quantity.

So what to avoid when linking out? Most important - different niche sites? And after that if you link to the same niche site make sure that site you link to is.... (what excatly)?

Google Expert

they don't give you links of removed websites?

Yo Adrian

It really matters on why your site was hit. But basically you need to change what you were hit for and then if your ranks still don't return you need to request the penalty be lifted. In my experience though if you just change what was wrong and offset it with more quality content or links than ranks will return.

Generally you want to try to only link to relevant and quality sites. If you link to low value or spammy sites you're going to get dinged for association, since you have full control over who you link to as opposed to who links to you.

They do, the link in their screenshot is clickable, you can visit each site they deindexed to find out why.

So google penalty is only when site is deindexed?
I had one blog with 50 visist from google daily that suddenly dropped to 1 visit from google daily. Since I get "some" hits from google it means that my site is not penalized? Just re-evaluated as lower quality site?
My problem is that I have no idea what happened...
And no message to webmaster tools (they claim they inform webmasters about penalties through WT interface)

Whatever, tubes are in top of search results anyway
