Google Doesn't Forget, They Have Lots Of Storage

Google Brain Pattern Mind

Google's John Mueller responded on Twitter about if Google forgets about links over time, in which he responded "we have a lot of storage." That, to me, clearly means no. Google has said in the past that Google algorithms don't forget - here is John Mueller telling that to a webmaster yet another way.

Does Google forget about your old spammy links? Nope - they store that for a long long time according to this tweet.

Here is it:

Scary response, don't you think?

But of course, even if Google might not forget, they still may forgive - right? At least that has been Google's message with Penguin going real-time, disavow links tool, nofollow attribute, reconsideration requests and more.

So while Google doesn't forget - it seems they do forgive.
