Google Penalty Recovery Service

A Google penalty is a punishment against a website for violating the Google Webmaster’s Guidelines. This can either be manual (handed out by an actual person) or algorithmic, triggered automatically by one of Google’s algorithms.

A manual penalty is used against a site by Google after one of Google's employees has inspected it and decided that it is not compliant with Google's Webmaster Quality Guidelines. These penalties are delivered more than 400,000 times every month.

If you get a manual penalty, specific web pages or your site will be ranked lower or disappear from the search results entirely.

If you have a manual penalty, it will appear in Google Webmaster Tools. Log into your account and navigate to Security and Manual Actions and then to Manual Actions.

If you do have a manual action against your site, an accompanying description will inform you how you are violating Google's guidelines. Once you’ve fixed the issues, you can submit a reconsideration request.

Some of the most common causes of manual actions are; unnatural links, user-generated spam, hacked sites, thin content that brings no value, structured data issues, cloaking, spammy free hosting, or keyword stuffing.

While being manually penalized isn’t good, it also isn’t particularly difficult to fix, especially if you use a reputable Google Penalty Recovery Service like TSI’s. Your site should be given the all-clear from Google in a matter of weeks, and can often bounce back much stronger than before since the fix can surpass the requirements and access any deeper issues that might not be spelled out for you.

This type of penalty isn't as clear cut as a manual one; you won't receive a warning in your Google Search Console. It will be more likely that you will see a drop in traffic from a specific date that coincides with one of Google's periodic algorithm updates. The causes of an algorithmic penalty are not always so obvious to pinpoint, and it might be that it is another issue with your site that is the factor for a loss in rankings. Finding the root cause of this type of penalty can take longer and is likely to be more time-consuming. To accurately determine what the issue or issues are will likely require an in-depth analysis of your site. Hiring a team with prior experience in penalty recovery is recommended as they will be able to zero in on the issue quickly and provide the best action steps going forward.

Algorithmic penalties are automated penalties that Google’s algorithms impose to limit a site’s traffic, often after major algorithmic updates. These arrive without a warning in your Google Search Console, and often are only apparent after a drop in traffic from a specific date that coincides with one of Google's periodic algorithm updates.

The causes of an algorithmic penalty are not always obvious; finding the root cause can be time-consuming and often requires considerable expertise to spot. To accurately determine what the issue or issues are will likely require an in-depth analysis of your entire site. Hiring a team with prior experience in penalty recovery is recommended as they can zero in on the issue quickly and address it.

The Google Penguin algorithm went wide in 2012, punishing sites that used spammy tactics like keyword stuffing, though its primary target was poor quality links and paid link building. To recover from a Penguin penalty, you need to ensure your content is not over-optimized or spammy, and remove any unnatural or low-quality links that are pointed at your site. While this can be a result of poor practices in link building, sometimes a competitor will try to outmaneuver you by using this tactic. We find a combination of automated and manual methods achieves the best results when addressing Penguin penalties.

The best time to have a Penalty Recovery Service is before you need it. The second-best, of course, is when you become aware your site has been penalized.

When this happens, it's best to work with SEO experts who know exactly how to help your site bounce back quickly. The longer a penalty is in place, the longer it will impact your traffic and rankings.

A trusted Google Penalty Recovery team will assess your site quickly, get to the root of the problem, and address it to get your site back on track as soon as possible.

The alternative is attempting to address the penalty yourself, which many site owners do: however, panicking and making unnecessary changes can actually make things worse. If you’re facing a penalty, the best course of action is to call in the pros.
