Hi all,

Is there a way to find out if a web address has been penalised by search engines due to things like over submission or overly keyword heavy etc?

Thanks for any information.

Hi,

Not as such ... these kinds of things are at the discression of search engines ...

The only you could tell that is by monitoring / recording the position in SERPs of some of the targeted keywords and see how it behaves.

If you think a site has been penalised then, try to find out on your site all bits that are dodgy and try to get some better links. With time, the website will re-appear.

If you submit your website to web directories the key is to do that at a low but constant pace. That implies to avoid anything automatic.
