IBCSL, a Chinese IVA debt consolidation company, was penalized by Google. They admitted that they used keyword stuffing techniques in the past to get good result. In the past 2 years, many Chinese website uses keyword stuffing or hidden text to manipulate their search engine ranking. Although it was not an effective technique for English website, it was effective for Chinese website.

This company’s experience shows that Google finally can penalize non-English spammy website.

We helped this client to double check their site, and removed all spammy website, and wrote to Google. Finally, the site is now re-included in Google again.

Lesson Learnt: Do not use keyword stuffing, hidden text or links to cheat Google even though your site is non-English website. Google can spot it even though it is an American company.
