Before 2012, SEO was nothing but focusing on Article and Link Building. Yes, More Do-follow links from high Page Rank Website, Higher the rank position. Back in that time some link building tools like SenukeX, Xrumer, Scrapebox became so popular for SEO purposes.

In 2012 Google made the biggest algorithm update by introducing Google: Penguin Update

The penguin Started penalizing sites with unnatural, irrelevant and paid Backlinks from a private blog network. Due to the Penguin update, there was a massive change in the search filter. As a result, a large number of websites deranked. Some websites are even permanently banned (De-indexed) by Google.

How to make a Negative SEO Campaign Successful?

Well, there are couple of processes, SEO experts follow to de-rank a website. Among them, there are some tactics that are really effective and powerful to ruin a website's ranking. Some Effective Negative SEO Tactics are:

According to Google Penguin, you can rank higher with high-quality niche relevant backlinks, but low-quality irrelevant links will ruin ranking. Building bulk irrelevant spam links is the most uses and successful tactics for a Negative SEO campaign. If you want to ruin a website, just create as many links as possible from low quality, high OBL, Nofollow Backlinks from spammed domains. The tools I mentioned above ( Scrapebox and Xrumer) Is used to create bulk links overnight, and that is fairly enough to ruin a site's search Engine Position.

Link Farming is another way of doing NSEO. Actually LinkFarm was used as a blackhat SEO to get a higher rank until google updated "Google Penguin" Algorithm. This is nothing but a process by which people exchange links or create few websites and link to each other for generating links popularity. It was basically a process of manipulating Search Engine Results. Nowadays Link Farms become the deadly cause of the rank drop.

This concept is a very unfamiliar but very useful process. This one is very popular for Blackhat SEO. It is cost effective too. Under this process, you need to buy some domains which are already penalized by Google for having millions of spam links and simple host it and redirect to your competitor's website so that all spam links are counted for your competitor's site. (Building direct links comes with superior power than redirecting method)

This is a process of negative branding for a particular website by which Experts create links from spam or from good sites using adult or gambling keyword (e.g. Porn video, gambling, buy Viagra online, etc). Just need to create as many links as possible by using these keywords. Google Hates These Keywords.

Hidden links were very popular for Blackhat SEO experts before the penguin update. It used to rank up a website overnight. Hidden links are kind of links that are not visible by the reader or user but its crawl-able by the search engine. An only search engine has the ability to crawl such links, and it’s really harmful to a site

Google is very concern about the content of a website. If a website has copy content, Google will not place rank to the domain. Some SEO tools such as Article Marketing Robot, Market Samurai, SenukeTNG are used to apply to this process. Webmaster simple copy competitors site and publish to thousands of article directory and web 2 properties.

This Tactics is not direct Negative SEO Tactics but indirect tactics. People will not show interest in a website or business that has very low Ratings. So if you are successful in doing a lot of negative reviews about your competitors, they will lose potential customers. This is a bit time-consuming tactics. What you have to do is visiting his site's profile (like yelp) and put Negative review about their brands acting like a real user

Website hacking or malware attack is one of the worst negative SEO practices. In general, Webmasters do not use it frequently because it’s really costly. If a site is hacked or attacked by malware, Google simply removes the URL from the search page for safety purpose.

“slippernator,” A Reddit user claims that his website has removed from the Google Search page due to hacked by someone. He also claims that one of his websites is removed from Google search engine due to having negative SEO Attack, primarily, a large number of spam links for several pages.

This process is a bit complected. SEO experts get access to their competitor's site and put some random links in text and footer. Getting access is the biggest problem, still, some people can get access and put vulnerable links to them

Let’s face it, one of the most terrifying moments as a website owner is waking up to find that your website penalized by Google. This is a huge blow that negatively affects your rankings thereby resulting in huge business losses. However, while Google’s manual email might feel like a massive kick in the teeth, it doesn’t always have to sound like a death sentence.

It’s completely possible to have your site recover from this setback in just a few steps as we’ll see below.

Worth mentioning is that Google remains committed to offering better answers to users through constant refining of its algorithm.With the ever-changing SEO landscape, it’s estimated that this search engine giant now updates its algorithm every day to ensure it offers more accurate answers to user queries.This way, websites found to conflict with marketing practices enforced by Google are hit with a penalty or a loss in rankings.

If your site is penalized, it’s mainly due to the following reasons:

Since a majority of businesses rely on search engines to generate traffic, it’s recommended to stay updated on the latest algorithm updates and make changes when need arises. What’s more, it’s good practice for you as a web owners to always stay informed about the latest developments on search engine policies; this helps to give you an edge over your competition.

Types of Penalties

There are two main types of penalties: Manual and algorithmic.

Manual Penalty

Manual penalties occur when a Google employee crawls your site manually and finds some practices that go against the company’s Webmaster Guidelines. If your site has been manually penalized, you can check with Google Search Console for information on this. Usually, this type of penalty is triggered by issues to do with your website’s backlink profile.

Once you identify the issues mentioned in Manual Actions, you can contact Google directly to ask for a reconsideration request. Here, you need to be completely honest with their team and be polite in your conversations. Inform them what you believe might be the reasons behind the penalty and explain what you’ve done to fix the issue. For example, you might tell them if you worked with a provider that used spammy links.

If they turn down your reconsideration request, do not give up and never threaten to take action on Google. You may have to do some work on-site to show their team that you are committed to improving your online presence. After you fix the issues, it’s time to send another consideration request. Repeat this process until you get a positive response from them.

Algorithm Penalty

Things become more complex with algorithmic penalties. Google employees rarely offer any kind of support when it comes to solutions for this penalty. In fact, the much they’ll do is provide a public answer addressing everyone that could have been hit by that penalty.

This leaves you with the option to go through your website’s analytics and try to spot the problem. Algorithm penalties come with no reconsideration process hence it’s upon you to fix the problem using your own wisdom.

Issues with algorithm updates are often well documented, so you’ll most likely know what you need to resolve. Learning SEO requires taking note of annotations on Google analytics regarding any changes you make on your site.

The initial sign that your site may have been hit by a Google penalty is a significant decrease in organic website traffic. However, a drop in rankings does not always mean that you have been hit; instead, it could serve as an indicator that you need to change your SEO strategy.

How to recover a site after Google penalty

Once you have identified the cause of the penalty, the next step is to clean up the site. Document the cause of the penalty and learn other practices that violate Google Webmaster Guidelines. This process should not be rushed if you want to avoid any future frustrations.

The following are simple tweaks and changes you need to initiate site recovery after a hit:

Link Building

Bad links are mainly as a result of unnatural linking or negative SEO. In this case, you need to perform a clean-up using recommended audit tools like Majestic SEO, Search Console, and Ahrefs. These tools help you collect a list of backlinks, although at this point you might not know whether any of those links is good or bad. However, you can try and use your judgment to try and evaluate which among them are likely to be frowned upon by Google. Learning about the best link building strategies might be helpful here.

Disavow

Do you need to remove a list of backlinks from your website? If so, we can look at the disallow process. For starters, you need to upload a disallow.txt to Google Search Console which notifies Google that you no longer need a particular set of links. Once a Google employee revisits your site and goes through your content, you’re likely to notice remarkable improvements.

It’s also recommended that you reach out to some of the websites and alert them to manually remove links pointing to your site.

Content improvement

In case you notice a significant dip inorganic traffic following a content update or change of strategy, then you need to comb through all on-site content. If for example your site has been faulted for offering thin or copyright content, then Google may request you to either redo or bring down this content to make it more valuable. Over-optimized content is also another reason that may bar you from ranking for specific keywords.

Wrap-up

Being hit by a Google penalty is extremely scary for any business that rely on organic traffic for its customers. If you’re serious about avoiding this awful situation, the first thing you need is to run regular SEO audits on your site. You also need to identify and remove all spammy links manually as these can wreck your website’s reputation.Finally, be sure to remove any duplicated content on your site and instead create high-quality content that’s devoid of bad practices like keyword stuffing and over-optimization.

Remember, the best way to avoid penalties is to ensure that your website is up to date, credible, and helpful to your customers.
