What to do with banned google links ????

[tas38]

Hello Everyone........

I found a program that scans your links, and tells you if there are any banned google site links. That are going to banned google sites, it found 2 sites I exchanged links with that are banned by google.

One is another arcade site, and one a top directory I listed with. From what I read, if you have banned links, google could banned your site as well.

I don't wanta be banned by google, I'm just starting to get traffic to my arcade from google. I read that if you find links to sites that are banned, you should get them off your site ASAP.

But this is all new to me, is this true I should dump the links. Or is it not true, and I should not worry about it and be glad I'm getting traffic from banned sites ? :doh:


Edited In:

For anyone wanting the program, that scans for banned google site links.

It a free program at the below link, I had to put the url of my links into it. Because it stopped a few times, trying to scan my hole site but it work great on the links url.

I'm still looking for advice, about the banned links I found on my site.

Here they are, the top directory uses your domain as a subdomain to track hits from people.

top20free.com

blitzgamez.com

from Google:

"Don't participate in link schemes designed to increase your site's ranking or PageRank. In particular, avoid links to web spammers or "bad neighborhoods" on the web, as your own ranking may be affected adversely by those links."

That says it all, they will be delete off my acrade for sure now.

Things of note after checking less then 50 links, to see if they put my link on their site.

10 of them did not put my link up, 2 of them was off line and 1 site don't even have links on their site.

I did not even care if my link, was so deep no one would it. If it was there no problem, but as you can see a high number did not even put my a link up inreturn. Most of them I signed up at their sites, so is saying some thing that many don't have my link at all.

These sites do not seem to be banned.

top20free.com is already indexed by Google ; http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=top20free.com+&btnG=Search

The other site seems unindexed but you get the three bulletin points when you search for the domain which is an indication that the site is unindexed yet rather then banned.

top20free.com is totally OK, it is even good looking page
blitzgamez.com I can not access and is not indexed, hard to tell

Thanks, I'll keep the top20 site then.

So to check you jsut do a google search on the site, if anything comes back they are ok then ???

Also what if they have been, banned for googles adsense ???

If counting ALL links, this page

top20free.com/quick_list.html

has more than 100 which is against Google’s suggestion: “Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100).”
