4. “Is It True You Can Get Banned From Google?”
Yes. You can get banned from Google – the technical term here is “de-indexed.” Although this is a very serious setback and it does still happen occasionally, it was a lot more common back in the old Wild West days of search circa 2005. Unscrupulous people would try to game Google’s system and would soon find their sites totally removed from search results, often never to return. Complete de-indexing is rare nowadays, but sites found to be cheating face harsh penalties, often within a few days or weeks of the offending behavior. If you are falsely found to be cheating, there is a human review process. But don’t worry: This is very unlikely to ever happen to you or your company.
