What Is The Google Penalty 50?
The Google Penalty 50 is basically when your site gets slapped by Google but is still being indexed. Instead of Google totally taking your site off the face of the Earth, they will rank your site 50 places less than you were ranked originally.
If you have to ask yourself the question “What is the Google Penalty 50?” then you are probably in trouble. I had to go through the same scenario. My website dropped 50 spot because I unknowingly linked to a bad neighborhood. This can happen to anyone. The good news is that you can recover.
The best thing to do in this situation is to locate the source of the bad link. You can find out where the bad neighborhood link is coming from by utilizing this complimentary online tool call appropriately named the Bad Neighborhood Tool. There are other paid tools online if you search, but this one was able to do the job for me.
Once you find the bad neighborhood responsible for the Google Penalty 50, the next step is to email Google and beg for forgiveness. The search engine giant can be brutal but I don’t think that they are malicious or merciless. You need to tell them the truth about how you fucked up and maybe they will reconsider your punishment! You can send reconsideration request by sending the search engine giant an email by visiting Google webmaster tools reconsideration.
If you need further assistance or your problem derives from some other mistake on your part, visiting the Google webmaster forum can help answer your questions. The process even if you are forgiven can still take several weeks, so if you had a very profitable website like I did, prepare to lose thousands. This lesson will help you stay in good graces with Google for years to come….Good Luck!
