what are the reasons to get banned from google ??

i do not mean adsense ban
but pr and ranking ban

so why and who do they ban ?

 

warez sites and things of that nature

 

I guess they can ban anyone, who violates their guidlines!

 

I set up a completely new site on a domain that had been forwarded for a year. The domain generated lots of traffic for about 2 weeks, then Google promptly dumped it. No sandbox, just wiped it out. I sent a request for reinclusion a while back but don't expect to hear back from them.

So I don't know what happened but it almost looks like a ban to me - even though it is a site that is not violating any terms.

 

What's your site URL?

 

http://www.hypography.net/

 

Okay, another site with the same script, although a completely different keyword target, was wiped out from Google today. 159,000 pages, many with high PR, completely gone.

 

The simple answer is violating google rules. If you stay within guidelines set by google, you will not be banned.

 

How does this site violate google's terms:

http://www.hypography.net

 

BTW the site that got delisted today still has retained it's PR...that's funny. Maybe it's just Google reindexing?

 

You might not be looking at a ban here.

What sets this site apart from all the millions of other 'search portals' on the internet? If there is nothing that sets it apart, why would google want yet another?

 

The thing is that the site had a PR of 7, and about 150,000 pages indexed, before it vanished from Google around July 10.

 

If that site is providing more of what is already in the index, maybe google doesn't want it in the index, regardless of PR and page count.

 

Several members here complained in the last couple of weeks abou the same issue. Google is slowly fixing their problems.

 

Okay - are you saying Google is getting rid of sites, or will they reappear after Google repairs itself.

 

I'm sure it's a duplicate content penalty.

I see only Yahoo content with ads on your website.

I guess you are correct on that. It uses the open overture search feed.

 

Out of interest, though - if I use my own search engine script to index sites, would it count as duplicate content?

 

Your answer is here.

Webmaster Help Center.
You should take a look at the 'Quality guidelines' section.

 

I don't know, only Google knows the answer.

Btw, you pretty much hijacked this thread.
