    Hi!
    I have a problem. My website was on the 32th and the 38th positions in Google for 2 keywords. In order to improve positions, I have made some changes (I have added some meta keywords, changed the title of my website and removed many topics from my blog, that were plagarized and added some new instead of them).

    2 days have passed, and today I have checked my rankings. I have checked first 400 positions for these keywords and didn't find my website :confused:. Besides it, after I enter my domain in google (e.g. xxxxx.com), it doesn't show index page on the first place like it was previously, it doesn't show it at all! The first place belongs to one of pages of my website, but the index page is not shown in google for any keyword!

    Please advise me what should I do, any ideas what has happened?:confused: Does it mean that google banned my website and how can I check it?

    Your site was probably got de index. It happen to me before. Just keep building quality backlinks. You should be back in a week. As long as you show your website is quality by creating contents and building continuous backlinks it will get index again. Some people stop when they are de index, this is just wrong. You will be saying to google my site is not worth it. Just force google to index your site by building quality backlinks. I can't believe I said that 3 times. Hope this helps.

    Thank you for response, Mike!
    I know that the more often you add new content and new backlinks, the more often Google indexes your website. That is why I left ~ 10 quality backlinks every day and added 2-3 articles to my blog. But this is the first time my website disappeared at all. My index page is not shown in Google at all. Previously I employed a SEO coder, he added content and backilnks ~ once a 5 days. But I could find my website in Google at anytime!
    That is why I am worrying.

    I have noticed that I can requesat website reconsideration in google webmaster tools. However they say it may take some weeks =(. Did anyone use it already and should I request it?

    Also does anyone has any ideas why my website disappeared? I have checked similar threads, many people faced this problem but none of them told when his website got restored.

    I tried the google webmaster tool. I submitted my site. They also said it will take weeks. Well I couldn't wait two weeks. I decided to build backlinks anyway. Before the end of the week my site was back in their index.

    So all I can do now is to build backlinks and hope that Google will index my website again? OMG, this is terrible.

    It's not terrible at all. When your site gets index again, you'll have more backlinks than before. You are going to build backlinks even if you are index or not index.

    Yes, you are right, but I have read that some people waited for 8 month while google will index them again. This uncertainty scares me. Do you have any ideas why it has happened so? I just don't understand why just index page disappeared, all others are indexed by google ^-^

    Since your other pages are still index it could be because of the changes you made recently that google needs to crawl your site again and update their record. I'm just guessing here, I'm not from google. :D

    =) Yes, Google is really unpredictable, but this accident happens first time, despite the fact that Google indexed my website many times already. I think add articles and leave backlinks every day in order to make it crawl faster. Anyway, I will inform everyone about result, because I haven't found the end of the story in other threads. Hope it will solve soon. ;)

    Submit your site for reconsideration in Google webmaster tool. If you have not spammed it, then it will soon come in the previous position. Till then, create backlinks from different-2 techniques.
