actually is.

So, lets start the discussion now. What Is
Googles Blacklist? To put it simply, Googles
Blacklist is a term to convey visitors that a
particular site they are viewing is not safe for
them. Some of the search engines more so, Bing
and Norton Safe Web make efforts consistently to
offer users the best search experience possible.
No wonder, Google is on the same path too and
performing quite well. They keep looking for
malicious content on the websites that could harm
the visitors in one or more ways. It then sets
apart such websites and warns the
visitors. While Google does not display any
official blacklist poster on any site, it is
constantly on the lookout for potential threats
on the internet. And if they find a website that
seems to steal the information of visitors or
lets them take a beating for other reasons, it
then de-index such websites right
away. Webmasters need to be rather careful about
such actions by Google, as it can drop their
traffic drastically. What Google suspects about
these websites is that they insert malicious
codes to silently install programs that take
advantage of any minor bug or error in softwares
in your computer. These programs can then carry
out intended tasks like sending spam emails or
slowing down visitors computers after coming in
action. There is also a good chance that they
will steal your visitors personal information
including credit card details, passwords etc.
