Google Webmaster Guidelines Updation

Google has updated their webmaster guidelines with more clarification and specification to all webmasters to shine their websites on Google organic rankings.

Check Google Webmaster Guidelines Addition

Even Matt Cutts also revealed it in its blog about this google webmaster
guidelines addition.

I appreciate the straight forwardness of Google in this addition, which clearly shows that unethical means unethical which was yet in shades.

Some of the important points which I have analyzed are -

It is clear that only ethical part will win the race in google. So, just stay away from all unethical and black Hat techniques like doorway pages, cloaking, duplicate content, irrelevancy and hidden text and links.

If a site doesn't meet google quality guidelines, it may be blocked from the Google index.

But if you determine that your site doesn't meet these guidelines, you can modify your site so that it does and then submit your site for reinclusion.
