Since the last Google update, there have been many instances and examples of the Google Nuke Bot! This is what I call it anyway. Have you visited a favorite website lately only to realize theyve been nuked by Google
More and more we are seeing internet marketing / SEO companies getting nuked, by Google completely removing them from their data banks. I am not going to mention any names because Im sure the owners of the once populated websites already know and are embarrassed from this development.
Since the word went out on WebPositionGold getting banned from Google for automatic queries sent to Google, we are noticing other related websites going down for the count as well.
For the info on WebPositionGold, go here:http://www.socialpatterns.com/search-engine-marketing/webposition-banned/
The things is, we already know about Webpositiongold, what about other sites that are getting hit hard Has your site been nuked
It seems as though, some sites that had thousands of links pointing from Google are getting hit the hardest. It seems like Google is cracking down on spam tactics, submission tactics, and anything related to unethical SEO practices.
Is Google Making An Effort To Uphold Their Webmaster Guidelines
Will it come to a point where if we dont uphold the Google guidelines, we cannot be successful online This thought is ridiculous but almost scary to think it could happen! What about websites that still hide text through same background colours Hidden div layers and mirror pages Why hasnt Google attacked those issues first
You can almost make the assumption that by Google nuking websites that send automatic ranking & link popularity queries to their data base, this may be a huge effort to relieve the strain on the query servers in order to free up some memory.
How Does Getting Your Website Nuked From Google Affect Your Credibility
An event like this could ultimately ruin your reputation online. People who have come to trust your knowledge and judgment on Google rankings may never look at your company the same ever again. People might think to themselves I dont want to get nuked like they did!.
How Can You Tell Youve Been Nuked
* Your Google Page Rank is now 0-2/10 and should be at least 5/10
* You have zero backlinks listing in Google anymore
* You have zero internal website listings within Google by doing (site:www.yoursite.com)
* Googles cache of your website is no longer to be found
For newer websites, dont be confused between this nuking process and your own evolution online. Getting and maintaining a high PR level takes a lot of work.
Once Nuked, Does Google Still Come Back
The question I have for websites that have been nuked: Can you still see Google in your stat log files for your site If so, I wonder if Google is still keeping an eye on you and watching your every move
In Conclusion:
Stay away from programs that generate automatic queries into Google. Dont check your link popularity 3 times a week and especially dont check your search engine rankings twice a day. Just simply promote your website and measure your success through your internal website stats and monthly profits. Google doesnt appreciate websites that consistently draw their power in order to measure their success, just simply take that out of your daily actions.
Cheers to your online success!

In order to tap the huge stream of targeted traffic an internet search engine can provide a website you need to master a few common sense principles when crafting your webpages.
You can rest assured no sites receive top search engine rankings by chance in competitive keyword markets. They spend time and money to acquire and maintain their search engine positioning. Targeting your keyword market precisely and applying the principles in this article will help you compete in any keyword marketplace.
When crafting your web pages for the search engines remember that a search engine spider is not human. They only read the html code for your website, they do not actually see what your site looks like.
1. Use static html pages not dynamically generated web pages wherever you can. Some dynamically created WebPages are not indexable by the search engines. If they cant index your pages you might as well not exist no matter how useful your website might be.
2. Use your main keywords in meta title tag, meta description tag, and meta keywords tags. This tells the search engines what you feel the webpage is about.
3. Use your keywords in the first line of your web page body and within header tags throughout your html document. Use bolding of keywords where appropriate. Using your keywords within bold and header tags makes them stand out as important. Also having them near the beginning of your web page is also an indicator of importance in the search engines eyes.
4. Use your keywords in img alt and link title tags. These tags dont show up as visible text but they can help give a search engine a better idea of what your link is about. Resist the urge to stuff a lot of keywords into these tags but definitely use them to your advantage and place a select few of your most important keywords in there.
5. Dont use a lot of tables in your html. Use css style sheets to store webpage style definitions if you can. Storing style information in Css reduces the overall size of your WebPages considerably allowing them to load much faster.
6. Dont use a lot of outbound or affiliate links within your webpage. Keep your web pages focused on providing content first, not making money. . Search Engines dont like WebPages that are just filled with affiliate links and banners. These pages have little or no content and do not score well because of this.
7. Maintain a high visible text: graphics ratio on your webpage. This is a similar idea to 6 plus your pages will load faster with less graphics on them.
8. Repeat your major keyword phrases near the end of your webpage in a sentence with the keywords bolded. Optionally place a short sentence in a header tag.
After you have created your webpage and applied these principles upload the page to your web host and visit the following URL to analyze your work:
I have chosen this tool because it is very easy to understand and it is free. Use the suggestions this site provides and re-edit your webpage. When you have the page optimized to your satisfaction visit:
