Wanna know if you site violates Google Guidelines?

Well , if you do, Google has decided to help(atlast). Matt Cutts of Google has a blog titled Notifying webmasters of penalties that says it all. But yes if you would like to save time and just get the info here we go

Google’s Webspam team is working with Sitemaps team to alert some (but not all) site owners of penalties for their site. Sign up for Sitemaps to try it out.

Q: Okay, okay, I understand that not everyone will be notified of penalties, and that it’s a test. What will it look like if I do have a spam penalty?
A: In the webmaster console, once you verify a site, click on the tab labeled “Diagnostic” and one of the page sections is called “Indexing summary.” The specific text will say

No pages from your site are currently included in Google’s index due to violations of the webmaster guidelines. Please review our webmaster guidelines and modify your site so that it meets those guidelines. Once your site meets our guidelines, you can request reinclusion and we’ll evaluate your site. [?]
