E940: Google penalties are no longer feeling like temporary setbacks. More and more site owners are fixing everything they're told to fix, submitting reconsideration requests, and still getting rejected.

In this episode, I break down why Google manual actions appear to be becoming semi-permanent, what multiple SEO practitioners are seeing in real data, and why Google may no longer be asking "did you fix it?" - but instead "should we ever trust you again?"

We cover what's changing, what's being reported by people deep in the weeds, and what this means if you're using aggressive SEO tactics, gray-area strategies, or anything that relies on shortcuts.

Topics covered: - Why reconsideration requests are being rejected more often - How Google appears to be shifting from behavior-based penalties to perception-based penalties - What "perceived spam" means and why fixing the site may no longer be enough - Why manual actions are starting to look permanent instead of temporary - Similar rejection patterns now showing up in Bing - The risk of tying multiple domains to the same Search Console - Why black hat shortcuts often take longer than doing things correctly - What actually works long term in SEO and marketing - Where press releases, listicles, and self-promotion fall on the rules spectrum - How white hat SEO compounds over time when done consistently

This episode is not about fear-mongering. It's about understanding the current landscape so you can make informed decisions about risk, durability, and long-term growth.

If you've ever considered pushing the limits, this is worth paying attention to.
