Google Does Its Laundry
Filed under:
OOGLE’S Search Quality Team pushes on with an initiative to remove pages which contain hidden text, JavaScript re-directs and the like. The main intention is to penalise sites that use questionable, if not black-hat, SEO techniques. It is rather encouraging to know that much effort is being put into refinement of search results — an effort considerable enough to justify formation of an entirely independent team.
While we were indexing your webpages, we detected that some of your pages were using techniques that were outside our quality guidelines, which can be found here: [link]
In order to preserve the quality of our search engine, we have temporarily removed some webpages from our search results. Currently pages from [url removed] are scheduled to be removed for at least 30 days.”
