Site disappeared

[Percept]

Hi guys,

I got a problem ... the website desk02.be (which is in my sig) has been 'dropped' by Google, I presume this happened one of the last days.

The site has arround 500 backlinks (mostly from my sig here and a few other forums) and was ranking #1 for "desk02" (which is all it has to rank for now), it was indexed and cached fine.

Yesterday I noticed it doesn't even rank anymore in the SERP's when searching for "desk02" (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=desk02&btnG=Search)
and looking for the domainname in Google gives ony the domain without any page description or page title.

I have no idea what happened ... I hope this is a temp glitch but I just checked all datacenters and it's the same on all of them, no title, no description, just the domain. Anyone else having the same prob or an idea what is going on ?

I just checked and your site has not been dropped by Google.

I believe you are being hit with a duplicate content penalty because you have not redirected the Non-WWW version to the WWW version or vice versa.

Thanks for the nice reply....
That's why Google did index my inside pages but not my home page. Damn!!!! and I've been waiting for an explication for one month

This makes me feel stupid...
If we'll ever meet face to face... I owe you a beer

RB is right, it is not blocked. You need to fix the redirect.

I noticed you're on an Apache Server. Here is a 301 redirect for .htaccess if you need it:


RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Thanks for the explanation guys but isn't Google advanced enough to understand that desk02.be and www.desk02.be is the same ? Seriously, if this really is the problem Google should fix this.

My Percept.be site gets linked to http://www.percept.be and http://percept.be (no redirect) and the problem doesn't occure there.

Thanks for the explanation guys but isn't Google advanced enough to understand that desk02.be and www.desk02.be is the same ?That's the problem. Without a redirect you have two (2) "unique" URLs with the "same" content.

My Percept.be site gets linked to http://www.percept.be and http://percept.be (no redirect) and the problem doesn't occure there.Not yet.

I really hope this is the problem so I'll add the htaccess, thanks for the quick answers !
