BMW Banned by Google
BMW Germany has been banned by Google for “black hat” SEO techniques.
BMW.com is a nice PR 7 web site and loved by Google, with over 3,000 incoming backlinks displaying. But now BMW.de (their German site) has been banned by Google.
As you can see by the image below, is a “manual ban,” i.e., a Googler (employee of Google, Inc.) has gone into the system and removed the bmw.de web site from their index. You can tell because of the two bullet points, and the fact that no pages display for a site:bmw.de search.
The site has been removed for black hat techniques like dynamically generated doorway pages. Right now, the only sites I can find that are talking about it are Chinese and MattCutts.com, but stay tuned. Things like this are always great forum fodder. (Also from Matt Cutts: www.ricoh.de has been removed as well.)
