Google blacklisted BMW coz of unethical use of SEO
Investigations by Google found that BMW's German website influenced search results to ensure top ranking when users searched for "used car".
Google has now reduced BMW's page rank to zero, ensuring the company no longer appears at the top.
BMW admitted using so-called "doorway pages" to boost search rankings, but denied any attempt to mislead users.
BMW's activities were revealed in a blog by Google software engineer Matt Cutts.
 |  If Google says all doorway pages are illegal we have to take this into consideration  BMW spokesman |
However, once a user clicked on the link displayed in Google's results window, they were redirected to a regular BMW Germany page, which contained far fewer of the key words.
'Do not deceive'
A BMW spokesman admitted the company used the doorway pages, a practice known as search engine optimisation and banned by Google.
But the spokesman insisted the company's intentions were honourable.
|  Don't deceive your users or present different content to search engines than you display to users Google website guidelines |
"However, if Google says all doorway pages are illegal we have to take this into consideration."
On Google's own website the company lists a series of quality guidelines.
First among those is a requirement to design websites for users, not for search engines.
"Don't deceive your users or present different content to search engines than you display to users, which is commonly referred to as 'cloaking'," Google says.
Google confirmed that BMW.de had been removed from search results, adding that it would not tolerate any attempts to manipulate searches.
"The quality of our index and search results is of the utmost importance to Google," the company said in a statement.
Google would continue to strive to protect the accuracy and quality of its results, it added.
