Google Blacklist?

[.edu]

DOES GOOGLE HAVE A BLACKLIST? ALL MY DOMAINS HAVE BEEN CRAWLED EXCEPT 2. EVERYBODY ELSE CRAWLS THEM EXCEPT THE BIG G.

I have never seen a "blacklist" exactly.. what I think they do is just penalize you so badly that its pretty much the same thing.
They will kill your pagerank and/or kill your linkbacks for example.
There are also a few sites google doesnt like for anyone that participates in those types of links programs.. such as "LinksToYou" is one.
PM or post your domain I will take a look.. dont know if it will help but I will look for you if you'd like.

I did some research and figured out why. The previous owner of the domain used it for tricking search engines so it is black listed. The blacklist does exist.

Gee, I know many many sites that try to trick Google with that invisible text trick -- I wonder if the Big G catches a lot of them. Anyway, its nice that Google will give you a second chance to clean up your act...

There are so many sites doing the tricks mentioned and eventually google catches up. Just the risk some people are
willing to take i guess.

Google is evil, I suddenly dropped a few pages from #1 on some of my sites... it's really annoying... did they change something?

You guys need a little SEO skills ;D

Yea google did some changes and a lot of honest people got screwed. It just takes a lot more work now. But.. we got a new yahoo now. Which is good i believe.

Hehe, google looks most at backlinks and anchor text.

Google will black list sites that cheat. I found that out the hard way. I had a site that had half a dozen good listings in google by cheating hidden div tags and a PR of 5. After a few months, it suddenly dropped off google all together. Nothing, no PR, no listings, notta. If your site is/was blacklisted, you can email them when you clean it up and they will remove the blacklisting.

I try to stay up on SEO tips, but make no self-proclaim of being an expert. Having said that, you are welcome to download my index.html page in my signature and study it. I have a number one rank for Amarillo Web Design on several search engines, including google.com.

Proper use of Title, meta tags (though I hear google ignores meta tags, but I'm not convinced of that), H1, H2, H3 tags and bolding keywords AFTER the first paragraph help. Assigning your keywords to image titles/alt text, assigning keyword to your .css file name (keyword.css).
