    Cool. But i've try to check on a website, that is new, and it mentioned, banned. Its like not accurate, i think.

    I've also look through DP, and found some post mentioning about checking it on the search engine, the website was listed, and according to the post thread, it could be due to not indexed yet.

    But the main point is, i've check the website have traffic from google, but for the past few days, no traffic, not even 1 from google search.

    I have read in a SEO tips book.

    That in the Google PR toolbar of mozilla if the website PR has a grey fill up instead of showing any PR, it is called as gray banned.

    And the IWebtool is also a good source for checking :)

    IWebtool does indeed is a good source for checking. It has at least 80% accurate. BTW, are you checking on your website?

    2. View the Google Toolbar.

    Download the Google Toolbar here: http://toolbar.google.com

    Once it’s installed, simply visit your website. If the Google toolbar is completely gray and shows no page rank, this means you have been *banned by Google.

    * Note: Most SEOs incorrectly call this “gray barred”. Not “banned” as it should be. Ok, so now we know how to tell if our website has been banned.

    Thanks for the tips link. Cool. Few things weird. I've check out some website link, like typing site:www.domain.com, some of it doesn't list out too. but if you type again, and press search, it will appear the list. Funny. But more weird is, some of the website that already been indexed, were all gone. I think maybe the G is updating something or so. :) hope mobile2move's website will back to normal soon. Cheers.

    Maybe it could be due to some upgrade on their server or something, 1 server up and 1 server down, swapping service, maybe.
