Thanks! Last time I checked my domain got penalized for having abnormal low markup or some such, which apparently makes it look like a spam site. I am proud of this.

  Penalised? By whom?
  - kurthr 8y ago
    I would assume tehGoog. Just to make it hard to find low impact sites that aren't AMP.

  > Last time I checked my domain got penalized for having abnormal low markup or some such Do you have a link to the document you were pointed to when you got penalized? If it was Google who penalized you, they must have pointed you to a URL with documentation on why you got penalized and how to resolve it. I ask this because I run a few websites with even lesser markup than your site but I have never got penalized. I once got penalized due to excessive number of spam comments on one of my websites and they pointed me to https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/190597 https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/190597 ("Remove this message from your site") to resolve the issue. This issue did not affect the search ranking much though (dropped by only about 2 or 3 places in the list of results). But never had an issue with abnormally low markup. The markup in your website looks pretty reasonable to me, so I am surprised you could get penalized for that when I have had no issues with even lesser markup and they still appear at the top of the list of results for relevant search terms.

    I think it was some tool at moz.com, but I don't recall from the top of my head. I don't think it was Google itself. I have no idea what effect that has; I'm not really in to that world. > I have had no issues with even lesser markup and they still appear at the top of the list of results for relevant search terms. It seems people are finding my site, whether or not it's being penalized. I mean, someone other than me posted it here, right?
