Wow, last year (last time I checked) my Home Page http://woodsshop.com/ had a ranking of 3, today it doesn't even have a ranking .. My Plans Page (and quite a few other pages) had a 2, today, none. http://woodsshop.com/Plans.htm My search results are still very good, like when you search for "Japanese Gate Plans", I'm first on page. I have over 8,000 Visits this month, and quite a few backlinks. Is this happening to other websites, or is it something I accidentally did to my site?? Sure hope someone can advise me! (fingers crossed)
Oh, one other thing, thought the moderators would like to know. When I first logged on today I got this spam from the Private messaging, see screenshot. Checked my private messages and saw two more in there. EDIT: I've been reading all the other threads about G being hacked, bet this is the cause for my Page Rank vanishing?
Normally I have seen such PR being set to 0 only when you are selling links. In your case it may be a natural PR going down because you were not getting new backlinks.
how it is possible?? and how google track that this site is selling links.. please clearify.. regards
OK, I've been reading the threads about G getting hacked. I bet this the reason for my page rank vanishing?
Sign up for Google Webmaster Tools. Its possible that the problem will be found at that site. Its FREE to join GWT. If there was some violation occurring, and you fixed the problem, you can "Request Reinstatement" into the Search Engine. You may have some "hidden text" on your site, or duplicate content, or bad links (links from a porn site or known spammer). then again, if there has been no effect on your Search Engine Ranking Position--- you probably shouldn't worry!
DJ .. Hhmm, I checked my Webmaster Tools, and I see a yellow triangle saying, "This site may be distributing malware". I click on the Diagnostic Page for my site, and see, What is the current listing status for www.woodsshop.com? This site is not currently listed as suspicious. What happened when Google visited this site? Google has not visited this site within the past 90 days. Has this site acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware? Over the past 90 days, www.woodsshop.com did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites. Has this site hosted malware? No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days. Quick as I could I Requested Reconsideration! Thanks for pointing that out to me!
OK, went and checked all of my Webmaster Tools, and everything checks out as fine, (only 3 Not Found) except, when I look at the Links Page, it says- no Pages with External, or Internal Links. I don't understand. I have hundreds of links from other websites pointing to quite a few of my Pages, especially my Homepage. Isn't this what Links are?
Don't bother about the malware thing for sometime. Right now google thinks even techcrunch has malware. Look at it at a later date
Could someone check my site using IE7, and even the new IE8, and see if they get any security warnings? http://woodsshop.com/ I remember I once had a problem with a PayPal Link (on my Contact Us Page), but I removed that years ago.
pult your keyword here and enter the search: http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en&btnG=Google+Search and after that found your site thanks!!
OK folks, in my Webmaster tools, it shows no Pages with External, or Internal Links. I don't understand. I have hundreds of links from other websites pointing to quite a few of my Pages, especially my Homepage. Isn't this what Links are? let's see if I can post images yet ..
I think you can safely contact G support and ask for the reason. I know many bloggers who did that and got the PR problem fixed
Beegle, would you have a link to where I can contact google with my issue? Nope zexy, I don't sell links. How would it show up if I did? Can anyone shed some light on my lack of External, or Internal Links reported by Google? I keep hearing how important it is, and I have quite a few.
