Google alerts penalties through sitemaps in webmasters

Google’s webspam team and sitemap team have worked jointly and instituted a new scheme to intimate some sites regarding their penalties through the sitemaps in webmasters. Though this method is in test now, Matcutt claims it to be an improved approach to intimate the penalized websites.

The websites get penalized due to the reasons that they may hold hidden texts or hidden links. Google bans such sites due to the violation from Google’s quality guidelines. Now Google notifies this ban through webmasters in sitemaps.

This sitemap in webmaster also contain Google’s webmaster quality Guidelines. This enables the site owners to modify their website and submit a reinclusion request to the Google to get their banned site included in Google’s ranking.
