Google now gives spam alerts in WMT? - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

Just saw this article today in SE Land. Apparently, they send some webmasters an email ahead of de-indexing.

Quote:

Dear site owner or webmaster of bfenthusiasts.com,

While we were indexing your webpages, we detected that some of your pages were using techniques that are outside our quality guidelines, which can be found here: http://www.google.com/support/webmas…er=35769&hl=en. This appears to be because your site has been modified by a third party. Typically, the offending party gains access to an insecure directory that has open permissions. Many times, they will upload files or modify existing ones, which then show up as spam in our index.

We detected cloaking on your site and suspect this is the cause. For example at bfenthusiasts | Forums - Discussion Forums we found:
racially online phentermine reviews racially biconvex Madames confuser Alberich adipex jackson ms guy Madames earls adipex uk buy biconvex confuser bewailing order adipex phentermine breath Alberich Eastwick sheik buttocks ambien 20mg dosage Madames bewailing bloated bowl diazepam vs xanax Steven occupies diligent penguin valium dosage iv confuser sniffed bowl monotonicity factual valium drug effects ambien cr bluelight Alberich sheik lorazepam od . Chariots adipex rx bewailing klonopin

For more information about what cloaking is, visit http://www.google.com/support/webmas…er=66355&hl=en.

In order to preserve the quality of our search engine, pages from bfenthusiasts.com are scheduled to be removed temporarily from our search results for at least 30 days.

We would prefer to keep your pages in Google’s index. If you wish to be reconsidered, please correct or remove all pages (may not be limited to the examples provided) that are outside our quality guidelines. One potential remedy is to contact your web host technical support for assistance. For more information about security for webmasters, see http://googlewebmastercentral.blogsp…-now-what.html. When such changes have been made, please visit https://www.google.com/webmasters/to…deration?hl=en to learn more and submit your site for reconsideration.

Sincerely, Google Search Quality Team

Not sure what to make out of this. It seems unlikely that Google would legitimately warn webmasters before they get sandboxed... maybe this alert is reserved for sites that appear to be hacked?

As I understand this guy was using B-hat On-site. This is common practice that you get slapped by this. But interesting still that they started informing people, which is nice.

mblaster · 01-11-2011, 11:55 AM

I think it would be a miracle if Google would start warning all webmasters or even lets say 5% of webmasters giving them reasons why they website is at risk.

I might be wrong but believe it more for website owners that google believes their websites were hacked and or xrummered with no mercy...

If this is true, that would be nice.

TigerUK · 02-13-2011, 12:50 AM

well i just saw another video a few weeks ago, and matt cutts said that while they do warn websites of some things ONSITE that are dodgy to warn them in order to fix them, stuff like cloaked text, linking to bad neighbourhood sites etc, which are most of the case signs of your site being breached.

Matt cutts said thay will specifically avoid warning potential blackhattrs of when they may be breaching webmaster guidelines. This is because if google instantaneously gives them a heads up of when google has detetcted that your xrumer run has crossed the line for instance, than these webmasters will work the system, and on the next run just stay below the limit and figuure exactly how much to go and not cross the line.

So you're unlikely to get warnings that your spun content is too crappy or your xrumer has been too obvious.

Britter · 02-16-2011, 12:29 AM

I don't see why they would do it. It's just telling spammy webmasters what they can and can't get away with, like how to beat the system.

that is to nice

Selke01 · 02-21-2011, 07:14 AM

google should do it though, its refering to cloaking with a possibility of cloaking... it is not saying that they have detected a cock load of spammy links pointed at the site

thevoucherguy · 03-12-2011, 07:02 AM

Hail Google

Donace · 03-12-2011, 08:03 AM

Yep they even sent you msg's if your selling links etc, give you a chance to clean up etc

masterjani · 03-12-2011, 02:31 PM

They target content farms and link selling heavily these days.We need to be careful.Because,if they caught too many,then solving the problem takes more time.
