may i ask you guys if a site or blog is over-optimized and over-promoted will cause it to be penalized? what makes a site penalized and what is the difference between banned site and a penalized site. thanks for your answers in advance and forgive my innocence for such thingsWell...........optimisation should be in natural way and there is a proper balance between off page and onpage factors. Promoting a website is always good but in a natural way but not through using black hat SEO methods like spamming or linking your site everywhere link in link farms or FFA pages etc.There is difference between penalised and banned sites. If a site banned from google it does not appear in search results and you can not find it in google index after it has been banned. In case of penalised site may be sites ranking dropped a lot or Its PR dropped a lot.........If you look at a site with too much optimisation, it won't look natural. Google recognises balance, too much and you will be penalised, too little and you won't be noticed. It needs to look natural. take a look at this site. It has a range of things to help optimisation including Rss, drop downs, H tags, links.\\link removedI want to ask here only one thing - What do you really mean by Over Optimisation?Repeating of content is called keyword Spam. Hidden links/content are unethical way to fool out search engines. Placement of links in linkfarms and FFA pages are also in Black Hat Techniques.But I am confused here, what is over/extra here in optimization?If a site is banned, then you will no longer see any PR. Also, that see will be ling gone from google search resultsTo optimized your site is very nice to be able to it be visible in any SEs...But over optimized I don't get it...Probably doing some black hat optimization or abuse link baiting, that's not good...psyche wrote:You are talking about keywords stuffing I guess and also spamdexing...oh that bad...and maybe that is erikko is talking about "over optimized"...That technique is not advisable...
