As you can probably tell, manual penalties target spammy and deceptive behavior. These are typically more severe (and harder to remove) than an algorithmic penalty, but it is possible.
I'll cover these penalty removal methods later in this post. But first, how do you know if your chinese overseas australia database site has been penalized?
If you have received a manual action, you will receive a message report from Google in Search Console informing you about it.
But in the case of algorithmic penalties, it's usually only after you've seen the damage that you know you've been penalized at all.
The first sign of a Google penalty will usually be one or more of the following:
Decline in the rankings
Decline in traffic
Deindexing
Let’s take a closer look at these.
