How to check penalized or banned websites ?

[nancy07]

There are 2 ways to check the penalized or banned websites.
1. Through Google Webmaster tool, check the status of your website.
2. Manually check by typing the name or URL of your website on the search box. If it's not there, it means your website's got penalized or banned.

When we search the name of a website without www. or extension like .com or any other then if the website appears in search then it's not penalized nor banned and if we don’t find it then it may be penalized or banned.

You can find out through webmasters whether a website is penalized or not.

How to check penalized or banned websites ?

If you want to know whether your website is Penalized or banned or not, Nancy & David have shared the answer. But if you want to check whether the website from which you are planning to get the backlink are penalized or banned or not, then follow these steps.

Open Google, write site: anddomainofthewebsite.

If the domain name appears in the search engine, means the website is not penalized. But if you can't see the domain name in the search results, means the website is blacklisted by Google.
