Google is very good at detecting unnatural<br \/>\n  links that violate our <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/spam-policies\/\">spam policies<\/a><br \/>\n  (for example, those that come from link-exchange schemes, paid links<br \/>\n  schemes, or are auto-generated), so participating in such schemes could end up doing<br \/>\n  more harm than good.<\/p>\n<p>Watch this video for some ideas about getting people to link to your site:<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-wrapper-full-width\">\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"used-to-rank\" tabindex=\"-1\">My site used to rank really well, but now it doesn&#8217;t. What happened?<\/h2>\n<p>The web is an organic, constantly shifting ecosystem, and your site&#8217;s performance in<br \/>\n  Google Search can change for many reasons. To start troubleshooting, check out<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/answer\/7474347\" class=\"external-link\">Why<br \/>\n  is my page missing from Google Search<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"top-level-domains\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n  Does my top-level domain (TLD; for example, .com, .org, .gov, .ponies) impact my site&#8217;s<br \/>\n  performance in Google Search?<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>No. Google&#8217;s goal is to return the best and most relevant results to people,<br \/>\n  regardless of the top-level domain. If our system determines that the best result is<br \/>\n  a page on a new Generic Top Level Domain (gTLD), we&#8217;ll return that page in search<br \/>\n  results.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"competitor\" tabindex=\"-1\">Can a competitor do anything to damage my site&#8217;s performance in search results?<\/h2>\n<p>We work really hard to make sure that competitors can&#8217;t negatively affect other<br \/>\n  sites&#8217; rankings. If you&#8217;re concerned about another site linking to yours, we suggest<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/websearch\/troubleshooter\/3111061\" class=\"external-link\">contacting the owner of the website<\/a>. Google aggregates and organizes information published<br \/>\n  on the web; we don&#8217;t control the content of these pages.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"penalties\" tabindex=\"-1\">What techniques might cause Google to place a manual spam action on my site in search results?<\/h2>\n<p>Our goal is to provide users with the best and most relevant results for their query.<br \/>\n  Sometimes site owners\u2014accidentally or on purpose\u2014use techniques that attempt to game<br \/>\n  the system. For example, a site might include hidden text or links, or use cloaking<br \/>\n  or sneaky redirects. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/spam-policies\/\">spam policies<\/a><br \/>\n  outline the illicit practices which can lead to a manual action.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"reconsideration\" tabindex=\"-1\">I made some changes so that my site is no longer in violation of Google&#8217;s<br \/>\n  spam policies. How can I make sure Google knows that my site is clean?<\/h2>\n<p>Submit a <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/webmasters\/answer\/35843\" class=\"external-link\">reconsideration request<\/a><br \/>\n  and allow several weeks for the reconsideration process.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"images\" tabindex=\"-1\">Why don&#8217;t my images appear in Google Images?<\/h2>\n<p>You can improve how your images perform on Google Images by following the<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/images-best-practices\/\">Google Images best practices<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"videos\" tabindex=\"-1\">Why don&#8217;t my videos appear in Google Search?<\/h2>\n<p>You can help us find and index your video content by following the<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/video-search\/\">Video best practices<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"buying-ads\" tabindex=\"-1\">Does buying ads improve my search ranking?<\/h2>\n<p>No. Google&#8217;s advertising programs are independent of our search results. Search<br \/>\n  results display on the left side of our results page; ads appear on the right and in<br \/>\n  the colored box at the top.<\/p>\n<p>Participation in an advertising program doesn&#8217;t positively or negatively affect<br \/>\n  inclusion or ranking in the Google search results.
