Many of our recent blogs have been dedicated to explaining what search engine penalties are and how website owners can recover from them. Here, we will provide some additional important facts about Google penalties, including some details regarding how long it can take to recover from them and what website owners need to do once Google has officially lifted the penalty against their site.

Facts about Getting Google Penalties Lifted

  • Most website owners are not successful at getting their Google penalties lifted the first time they submit their request to Google.
  • In fact, in many cases, it takes website owners 3 to 4 requests and reviews before Google deems that a website has been cleaned up sufficiently to warrant removal of the penalty.
  • One of the primary reasons that penalties are rarely removed the first time website owners attempt to get them lifted is that the website owners have failed to successfully remove all of the bad backlinks to their website.
  • More than half of all website owners who are eventually successful at getting the Google penalties against them removed do not do the work necessary to rebuild their site’s rank in search engines; consequently, within one year of getting the Google penalty lifted, more than half of the penalized sites do NOT improve in search engine rankings whatsoever.
  • In fact, only about 7 percent of penalized sites actually make progress in improving their search engine rankings within one year of getting the penalties against them removed.

What these facts point out is that, once a website has been penalized and owners have done the work necessary to get the penalties lifted, their journey is NOT over – they will still have work to do in order to improve their website’s ranking in Google and other search engines.
