Help needed. Google Search Console shows: Pure Spam

kingcity · Mar 30, 2020

Hi,

My site recently lost its ranking and I received this message in google search console:

We recently received a notice from Google Search Console for pure spam [WNC-633901] for our website https://betcity.asia/

Description:
Pages on this site appear to use aggressive spam techniques such as automatically generated gibberish, cloaking, scraping content from other websites, and/or repeated or egregious violations of Google's Webmaster Guidelines.

Affects:
Affects all pages

----

Then, we submit a reconsideration request and Google replied this:

To: Webmaster of https://betcity.asia/,

After reviewing your reconsideration request, Google still believes that https://betcity.asia/ violates Google Webmaster Guidelines. Therefore, we have not reincluded the offending pages back in our search results in order to maintain a quality experience for users. Only submit a new reconsideration request after you have made the necessary changes to your content.

Fix this problem now:
1. Update your pages to meet Google Webmaster Guidelines

Remember: we reject reconsideration requests consisting of empty or blank sites. Make sure you submit revised content that is original and relevant to your site.

-----

May I know how to identify the specified issue and the main reason why Google penalized my website?

Is it the problem of thin content? duplicated content? bad backlinks point to website? same meta title and description for all pages? or any other reasons?

How can I fix all of this?

Please help me.

Thank you.

Pure Spam means, that your content is sketchy, scammy, or crap.

From the URL that you shared, it's obvious that your site was about betting, so there you go.

When you pick black hat niches, this is the kind of messages you will be periodically getting.

Forget the domain and website and move on.

Does that means that websites on betting niche gets this penalty for no other reason?
I was thinking that something somewhere must have violated google's policy, instead of just getting the penalty because its a gambling site.

Pretty much. Any sketchy betting site, especially with thin content, will eventually get it.

Hm i dont think you should get that just for being a betting site. Maybe try correcting your grammar on the site and not mixing asian languages with english. Also remove autogenerated pages or pages with thin content or combine them into more useful ones.

At the very least we were ranking for our brand name, and then we started even lose our ranking for our brand name.
Our domain name is also not shown in search results, only IP address is displayed instead.
