SEO Spam

Trying to cheat the search engines (spamming) can get your site penalised or even banned. A simple rule for staying the right side of a ban is to not do anything that you might not do if you weren't trying to impress the search engines.

Unfortunately that is not enough as there are many innocent practices that can get you banned, including:

  • Hidden text
  • Text colour similar to background colour
  • Duplicating the same copy on different pages or different sites
  • Excessive cross-linking between different sites

And the rules change so if you aren't using an SEO professional make sure you stay well up to date.
