I was wondering, just as a mind exercise, how much is enough for Google to sandbox your site or even ban it? I know that annoying repetitions of keywords, especially in <h1> tags gets Google's attention. Also some heavy broken linking and farm linking to your site gets the job done. But in the end when does Google decide to shut the door in your face? When does the "enough is enough" state come into play?
Have you had any experience with Google, or any other search engine, sandboxing you? -
I get #3 ranking using the keywords Fredericton Web Design in yahoo
in google with the same keywords Im not even on the list, I gotta use Fredericton Webdesign kick or something (site is kickstartstudios.com) <-- its under heavy construction
I dont know why this is, I would really like to know why
my meta tags are quite big so that could be the reason.. I've gotten many seo pdfs but they're so bland and boring.. never read them! hehe
anyone have a straight-forward example of proper google techniques? -
I've been wondering for ages if Google takes notice of markup that is hidden using css. So say for example you've got an h2 tag in the sidebar that is hidden except when css is turned off, does Google account for any words in that?

does Google account for any words in that?
According to the last round of stuff I read, they have the ability to filter things based on CSS properties, but haven't done it yet since it's not a real big problem. (Yet.) -
i agree with nifkin. I have a website that uses this method to lure google and other SE's in but that text is unavailable for people with CSS turned on. For the moment it seems to be a useful method. I don't know what impact it may have in the long term. Any suggestions/warnings ?

Don't go too crazy with it in case you get blacklisted!!!!
Seriously it's a good question. Never seen anything on alistapart about this issue. -
3stripe, of course Google sees that text. GoogleBot is aimed at indexing the content of your website, so downloading and parsing the CSS is useless for a bot because it contains 0 content.

If any people are still interested in this subject I reccomend having a look at one of seochat's recent documents on Google's "Death Penalty" which involves respected brand names alongside some nasty black hat SEO.
