I thought it might be helpful to try and create a post with lots of reasons ppl have been getting slapped by google recently, as they are slapping many.
Common I am gathering include:
- Random HTML plug ins e.g. Uniquifier etc. etc. there are loads of these
- Auto RSS updating content
- Not enough content generally - they are employing many human testers now to check for quality
- Using article submission services or automation too agressively - I keep getting recommended to try and use semi-auto or manual stuff across the board
- Using too many blogs to promote your sites.
- Using too much video content especially YouTube as its always against their TOS
As a relative noob it seems many things that were working well are now getting ppl into trouble even decent sites.
Another solid tip I have been given is to remove any kind of foot prints from WP plugs if poss as this was what has got many people in trouble if G00gle decides to target something like one of these.
I would love to hear more ways of avoiding getting slapped.
