‘How can you tell if you have a Google penalty?’ – ‘Econsultancy’ Blog
Graham Charlton says, “How can businesses find out that they have been penalised by Google?
I’ve been asking a number of search experts for the tell-tale signs to look out for…
Types of Google penalties
First up, I think it’s important to distinguish between manual penalties, for which sites will recieve notification via Webmaster Tools, and those caused by algorithm changes.
The larger changes like Panda and Penguin are designed to cut down on nefarious practices like automated link building or on sites with thin content, as in the latest updates.
However, Google also takes smaller actions against sites or types of sites, such as when it penalised blog network MyBlogGuest last year”.
