One day a site is high ranking and the next day it suddenly disappears! Some reasons why Google can ban a site are:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Duplicate Content<\/strong> \u2013 This is when multiple Web pages on your website have the same content.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Machine Generated Web sites<\/strong> \u2013 This is a site that generates hundreds of web pages that are basically the same page repeated hundreds or thousands of times, but with a few unique lines of text and unique title.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cloaking<\/strong> \u2013 This is when Web pages are created just for search engines, where it delivers one version of a page to an Internet user and a different version to a search engine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hidden text or hidden links <\/strong>&#8211; This is text or a link that is invisible to the naked eye on a Web page, but are seen by spiders.

If google believes you are linked to a site that has facilitated the distribution of malicious software in the past. This could be an advertising network or statistics site that accidentally participated in the distribution of malicious software.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Buying links for Search engine ranking<\/strong> \u2013 This where a Web site owner buys links just to increase his or her ranking.
