SEO Rule #1 : Don’t Lie to Google

July 22nd, 2008 by Loren Baker, Editor | 1 Comment

Do not lie to Google during a Reconsideration Request. Reconsideration Requests are done after a site has been hit by Google for a spamming penalty, and Google gives the site a chance to redeem itself by fixing its errors, and asking the Google Spam team to reconsider the site for reindexing in Google.

If you’ve been labeled as a spammer, it is not a good idea to lie to Google and tell them that you have fixed the issues on your site, when you have not. If you lie, Google will *SMASH* your site :)

Matt Cutts Angry, Matt Cutts Smash Spam

Don’t lie in a reconsideration request. Just don’t go there at all. Makes Matt *angry*! Matt smash spam!

I quoted this in a previous blog post about Google Penalties here on SEJ, but the quote has me laughing so much, I thought it deserved its own post.
