Is there any way to report a website that is not complying with webmaster guidelines to Google?

Like how we can "suggest an edit" in Google Business Listings, is there any way to report Google about the webmaster guidelines violation?

Google is probably not going to take any manual action based upon your complaint.   Keyword stuffing and hidden keywords have been around since the beginning of Google and they have algorithms that look for it.  These algorithms sometimes find it, sometimes don't find it, sometimes demote it and sometimes don't demote it.

I would not spend time trying to report this type of action.  I would spend that time instead working on my website.

In my experience it varies greatly and depends upon what else the spam team is dealing with. Sometimes it's been dealt with in a few days, other times... never!

There are two kinds of infractions when it comes to Google's guidelines being broken. There are the infractions that are against Google's policies and which may game their ranking system, then there are more serious infractions that may cause Google to break the law by linking to certain content

Guess which one is more important to them? Fighting spam is important to Google, but the sites which get flagged for posting illegal content are more likely to be dealt with more quickly. Just my 2pence

I'm not sure, I suspect they get a large number of reports and I don't know whether the process is automated.  I've used it a few times but never heard anything back, so I'm not sure if you'll get any feedback either way.

Thanks, I did it. How long do you think it will take for Google to take action against the web spammers? Any Idea!

In that case, you need to report it as webspam. https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/spamreportform?hl=en

Keyword stuffing, particularly hidden keywords (1116 keywords) in all pages and unfortunately the website ranks 1-5 position in the first page of google

Hi,

It depends what you want to report. One of the most common violations (in my opinion) is link buying, and you can report that by following the links here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93713?hl=en

Many other types of violation are automatically picked up (and I suspect generally link buying is picked up eventually). What specifically do you need/want to report?
