Google quietly updated a blog post on the site reputation abuse policy by adding nine FAQs around this policy.

As a reminder, this policy was expanded recently, leading to many large (and small) sites getting hit by a Google search penalty. 

The blog post now offers responses to a number of questions around the policy, including what it is, what to do if you are hit by it, can you move content, should you block the content and more. If you have questions around the site reputation abuse policy, take a look at these new FAQs.
