A Great question Did I Got a Google Penalty ? Do I Require a Reinclusion Request ?
Believe me this is the very 3rd question asked at every webmaster forum including some popular one like DigitalPoint, Google Groups, Webmaster Talk .. and tons of more.
Like Barry reported about an intresting thread at Webmaster World where a user asked similar question Which penalties require a reinclusion request in Google?
Yes this is a great question and not all the penalties require you to file a re-inclusion request with Google.
Tedster, Administrator of Webmaster World sums up the issue with this question.
- Not all “penalties” are really penalties. In fact, a nice percentage of posts that say, “I have been penalized,” are really not penalized.
- Some penalties are manual, while some are automated. Manual penalties probably require a reinclusion request, while automated ones do not necessarily require one but likely can be expedited by one.

Earlier we discussed about Change in Google’s Algorithm where Anchor Text was considered Less Important and Patrick did a great post at BlogStrom in August about the situation.
Looks like Google Changed its Algorithm and backlinks are most important factors for search engine rankings once again.
Noticed this while doing a post for Google SERP’s Update for Oct. I was shocked when my experiment page was back in first page and jumped to #2 for the targeted keyword.
Later in the evening I asked Rishil about his experiment, and Yes !! Rishil also got the targeted keyword on page one.
Have you noiced something similar ? Comment and let everyone know about the situation.

According to the latest Google blogpost, Dynamic URLs Cannot Be Crawled Is Just A Myth and Google can crawl Dynamic URL’s. Google confirm’s that they might have problem in indexing and ranking Dynamic URL’s if u try to make them look static and hide some valuable parameters which cud offer GoogleBot with the valuable informations.
It is just recommended to avoid reformatting a dynamic URL to make it look static. However, Static URL’s are fine if u have some Static information on the webpages but if you are planning to use some dynamic content then you should allow GoogleBot to analyze the URL structure and not to remove them by making them look static using URL-Rewrite.
According to the blogpost “Dynamic URLs are okay if you use fewer than three parameters.” is also a myth and there is nolimit about using number of parameters. However, Using short URL’s is a great Idea and like a thumb rule and is applicable for both Dynamic and static URL’s.

Update: Some webmasters reported updates at 209.85.173.147
I’m still not sure, What exactly is Going on as there was a PR Update last month and now we can see several new threads at DP where webmasters reporting about Increase and Decrese in Toolbar PageRank for there websites.
In personal, I think it might be something related to Matt’s Comment that Google is expiring some older penalties on websites plus some new penalties for website involved in buying and selling links. This is what I can conclude after viewing some comments from users where many users claimed to get previous lost PR back and some claimed to lost all of there PR.
Forum discussion can be seen here, here, here and here.
If you have some additional information about this update let me know. I will update this post later as soon as I will get some more Additional Information.
