How to check penalised or banned websites?

[christinebreese]

When we search for the name of any website without www. and extension like dot com or any other then if website appears in search then its not penalised nor banned and if we don’t find it then it may be penalised or may be banned.

Banned or penalized websites can be checked using various online tools like:

Webmaster tool
Moz tool
Majestic tool

Log in to Google Analytics and audit your Google organic traffic to see if your website was penalized by an automated penalty. If you see a decline in traffic during the dates when Google announced an algorithmic change, you were most likely struck and your traffic declined as a result.
