Google Penalties

Google can impose penalties on sites that try to abuse the system. This is why it is crucial to hire a professional, reputable, organically driven Search Engine Optimization (SEO) company to optimize your site. Optimizing a site can take time. Rushing things could be detrimental to your success.
For example, SEO is built around building quality links that bring attention to your site. If you try to be tricky and just get a bunch of shotty links out there, you might just catch the eye of the Google-nators. Building a bunch of links really fast will send up a red flag and you could incur some penalties.
If you continue to abuse Google, you could be banned. This could mean a swift death for most companies. We depend so heavily on search engines to drive business to our sites that we really have to be careful.
Hiring the right people to optimize is key to avoiding penalty. Penalties are passed out freely by Google to those who violate their terms. Creating a bunch of links really fast to move up in the rankings could cause Google to push you down a few pages. Another thing that they penalize for is trying to hide text links on your page.
For example, I want people searching for “fuzzy kitties” to be directed to my site. I believe that I sell the best fuzzy kitties in the world. I can’t come up with a good way for fuzzy kitties to fit in the text of my home page, so I decide to make the text the same color as my homepage background. This way, I can type “fuzzy kitties” all over my site without anyone ever knowing the difference. Little tricks like this one can quickly bring on a penalty.
The same goes for using your keywords over and over again in the text copy of your pages. For example, “Fuzzy kitties are great. I love fuzzy kitties. Fuzzy kitties beget fuzzy kitties.” This type of action is not tolerated either. You do want to use your keywords early on in the text of your homepage, but it has to be naturally occurring. You can’t force it in and expect to be indexed for it. Google looks at all of your content. If it is totally relevant to have your keywords, even repeatedly, then you could be rewarded for it.
The bottom line is to follow the terms of service provided by Google. Hire a GOOD SEO company that utilizes organic social media to boost your ratings.
