Is there even a real google penalty? Like an actual official one?

Or is it just a scale of everybody's prespective view of google's penalty? whenever I try to google it up, I always see third-party sites that barely hold up .
 
the official one is a manual strike that would show up in your Search Console
 
Algorithmic penalties are silent and hard to define. Sometimes decreased rankings may be just a triggered filter or you simply don't comply after latest core update.

Manual ones on the other hand are very clear and usually appear in your GSC.

They call them actions:

Yes, they can deindex your site, if they want, or just give a manual penalty.
 
I already had a manual penalty, so yeah it is real and if your website in on the google webmaster search console you are notified. An algorithmic penalty is not notified but it manifests itself with a big loss in rankings
 
Oh yeah. Very real.
Had one of my site completely vanish from google for manipulating search results.

That is true. They also mention it on their official blog.
 
wait until you get 4 results penalty, almost impossible to recover from this penalty and not much people talk about this
I have had some sites with this kind of penalty and after posting some content for 1-2 month everyday I did get out of this. But my niches were always adult I dont know if it is the same for every niche.

its real like a trike it will shows up in your search console
 
did you post the articles manually or with schedule?
I did post them manually, but I dont think it matters. Maybe the consistence of posting made the difference. You can try it yourself if you have a site with 4 results penalty, post everyday for a while and maybe it will bounce back to normal. Google is strange and it depends by many factors. But I am sure for something. Posting frequently or everyday if you can, makes a difference for ranking and in my case removed the 4 results penalty.
 
Google penalty is for real you will get your site deindexed
 
It's not a myth
And if you get hit with manual penalties, you're better off starting fresh
 
There are two types of penalties.

There is the obvious penalty where you get notified on the Google Search Console that you got a manual strike.

This is usually what people talk about when it comes to Google penalties.

But there's also a "hidden" penalty where your website or certain pages on your site are demoted on Google's search results because of the operation of the algorithm that Google uses.

As you probably already know, Google updates its algorithm quite a bit.

And depending on what you're doing, you might run afoul of their algorithm.

This can translate into a lower ranking.

In that context, it doesn't really count as a penalty at least as far as Google is concerned.

But in practical terms, you're going to feel the pain.

It is a penalty at least as far as publishers are concerned.
 
I don't think so because they are a big company
 
yes manual Penalty is Real

Many of my Spammy Sites got deindex Previously

On Webmaster they sent the message and the reason and also they give chance to appeal , if everything is fixed and google is happy they may reindex the site
