I have the google bot searching my site, but when i type in www.myfootballforum.com in the search area of the page it doesn't show up. Also my pagerank has dropped to zero, its was @ PR5. Whats happened, do you think they have realised i've been using a cloaker?
Yes, they have realised that you've been using a cloaker. Google's smarter than you, face it. Edit: I think you can ask them to re-add you, but you'll start off at PR0 again.
Why do you use a cloaker? You can do some seo, a little bit of promoting and no cloakers needed... p.l.u.r.
well i bought the cloaker ages ago and i've been using it for over 2 years with good results. But just this past week i've noticed that my PR rating is non existant and my site is not indexed anymore . How do i go about re-adding the site, do i have to contact them?
Do you realize how not smart (I don't want to insult) it is to say that you are using a cloaker and then post your url? p.l.u.r.
why will people grass me up then? Well the damage has already been done. I'll just have to remove it (the cloaker then) as its not doing any good for my site.
the cloaker was from HTTP://WWW.SEARCHENGINECLOAKER.COM and i thought this would have been good for the forum, it did work to begin with but its not working as good as it used to do. I've just bought vbseo well two days ago, so hopefully this will help me redeem myself and my site lol.
Why don't you use normal promotion and optizmizing techniques? Please don't say that it is easier this way.. p.l.u.r.
I use normal techniques also, but i found out about the cloaker and i decided to buy it hoping it would help. It did for a while but then it didn't really do much. Never mind, it shouldn't take too long to get the site back on google. It was just a desperate attempt to get more people visiting as the forum crashed and alot of the regulars left for another forum. But the site seems to be doing ok at the moment. I suppose i've learned my lesson about cloakers.
When crawlers come they see one site, when visitors come they see different site. Cloaking in a sentance p.l.u.r.
How can we know? He said that he uses cloaker so it must be cloaked, maybe it isn't. Ask the author of this thread p.l.u.r.
too late, you got penalty. Look at site: command most of them are supplemental results You won't have the chance to be in SERP anymore. You gotta correct what you have done wrong and submit reinclusion to google.
This is the problem faces thousands of sites these days with Google, and most likley Google needs to do something not him, besides if you see the first page as supp pages that doesn t mean that the rest of the site are supp pagee You assumed that it is ban, I think it is just penalty
I got an infraction for posting it in the wrong forum. It was NOT posted in the wrong forum. I was discussing my site and google and i posted it in the Google forum. It was about my Page Rank being Zero and me not having any listings in the search engine. I think this Infraction Stinks.
I said penalty Basically if you type "www.myfootballforum.com" or "www.yourdomain.com" in search box and don't see your website in the first result, you got penalty I think. Yes, I know a thousands of sites faces this supplementals problem and I was the one of them. I got problem before and I tried to fix everything follow the webmaster guideline and submit reinclusion. Now I am fine You don't have to be banned to submit reinclusion doh. Penalty is something not much different from banned because you will never have your website in SERP.
What was your problem??? I have a look on the site .. it still indexed by Google so the only problem is supp pages, now if the site still get visitor from Google so nothing to worry .. if you see significant drop in the traffic form Google so I thing you still can fix it without reinclusion request .. but if your site get zero visitors from Google so you should take action and fill up reinclusion request
