You can get banned from Google for various reasons to do with “black hat” or illegal (according to Google) search engine optimization tactics. Some of these tactics include keyword stuffing, irrelevant linking, gateway pages and link farms. You can try to outsmart the search engines in order to boost your organic search rankings but be aware, if you are caught, you can suddenly drop to the bottom of the rankings for your keywords or disappear totally. This could be a disaster for a company as so many people now use Google as their number one option for searching. Major companies such as BMW in Germany have suffered from being delisted by Google. So if you value your free referrals from Google be careful with your search engine optimization and make sure you don’t get banished!
