Google Penalties are no walk in the park and the nightmare of many SEOs. They negatively affect your website, which can ultimately lead to lost sales. To prevent this from happening to you, we explain step by step how to recognize and fix a Google Penalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google strictly ensures that websites are user-friendly and offer added value. Sometimes Google decides to penalize a page with a penalty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google Penalties<\/strong> are punishments by Google<\/strong>, which in the worst case can lead to the exclusion of the website from the index. These penalties can have a significant impact on the visibility and traffic of a website<\/strong>, as they can lead to a drastic drop in search engine rankings..\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n To understand Google penalties, you first need to know that Google also plays with fixed rules. These rules are called Google Webmaster Guidelines<\/a>. Anyone who does not adhere to these rules risks a Google Penalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two types of penalties that Google can impose on a website: manual penalties and algorithmic penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Manual penalties are imposed by Google employees. <\/strong>They are usually the result of a website using spammy or manipulative tactics, such as buying links or using hidden text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Algorithmic penalties<\/strong>, on the other hand, are imposed automatically by Google’s algorithms<\/strong> and are usually the result of a website not meeting the search engine’s quality guidelines. More precisely, in the context of algorithmic penalties, rankings are adjusted<\/strong> (for example, when ranking factors are shifting).<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is the difference between algorithmic and manual Google penalties?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
