Google Penalties- Nonsense

SEO Metro has grown tired of the misconception that Google penalizes websites. This has tirelessly been explored by Google's search engineers and explained yet those who claim to be in the know talk continuously about Google penalties. The term to be used is 'filtered' not 'penalized'. Sites will be filtered for different reasons: (1) new sites, because of "trust issues", (2) duplicate content, upon which the page(s) with duplicate content will not be indexed, (3) 'bad neighborhoods' are linking to the offending website, (4) webmasters who try and trick Google with different spam techniques, (5) over optimization, keyword stuffing, etc.

These 'so-called SEO experts' then tell webmasters they can resubmit their websites to Google. Bad move.
