It's not just you. But he wants to PURCHASE it. Therefore he can ask the seller to place the required ID file or metakey in the site so the buyer can examine it in sitemaps
Great, now I gotta worry about getting banned too? Damn, gotta remove the heroin sales and cocaine right away
No, you are correct. Technically, you are correct... however, retroactively adding the domain to WC does not tell you whether or not the site is banned. If you have the site already added when it gets flagged, then there is the possibility that you will get an email stating that it is in violation, but even that is not guaranteed. The only benefit of adding it post ban is that you could do a reinclusion request. You should quit spreading misinformation as if it were fact. If you were some newbie it'd be different, but you have over 1,700 posts. Unless those were all questions, then that's a hell of alot of information being posted by someone who apparently doesn't know the basics. No offense intended. 99.99% of the time the reasons for banning have nothing to do with the law... they have to do with violating webmaster guidelines. Yes, I have a website that is banned, and no, it has nothing to do with illegalities. Mine was actually unjustly banned (www.introgrammar.com), but there's no talking sense into Google employees. Usually it has something to do with cloaking, hidden text, keyword stuffing, or any of the other violations of Google's Webmaster Guidelines. -Michael
So, what did you do? Hidden text? Keyword stuffing? If it's the case, it is not banned, it is unindexed and can be fixed. Even with 1700 post I may be a newbie, as a 1 post guru might be a ...guru. There are stuff I know and you don't, there are stuff you know that I don't. I have a site without any of what you said. It is unindexed though...
No, I didn't do any of that, and you need to trust me. If you can't then you need to do some serious research before making statements like that. It is not "unindexed", it is banned. You obviously have no clue what you are talking about when you make statements like that. Which is fine, no one is going to force you to get a clue... however, you should really consider adding "in my opinion", "I think", or "this is just me guessing" to the end of your posts though. Putting wild conjectures forth as fact is rude, doubly so when you do it in an environment where beginners come to learn. -Michael
codythebest i dont know how old you are but your coming off as a little kid who doesn't want his xbox taken away from him. mvandemar is right, and everyone here would agree with him. And by the sounds of it saying you were banned...judging by how i seen you reply on this board. It wouldn't surprise me if you got banned for clicking your own links. But then again you wouldn't know because you don't know anything about google in the first place no hard feelings or anything
I might be blind, I can't seem to find that tool - I would like to check my sites, although I have no reason to suspect they might be banned, I have some that just wont index.
OK, I think you're right. Can you then, in my opinion, tell me why you site is banned? This is just me guessing here, but why would google ban you site?
No, no, I don't want you to touch my xbox... Explain me as if I was 6, why G would ban a good, nice, legit site with no hidden text, stuffing keywords, illegal content and/or nothing wrong whatsoever?
Oh, did you mean you looked at my site, and because it was clean that's why it can't be banned? See, as far as that goes, I would agree with you... but trust me, it's banned. What happened is (I'm pretty sure) some ass on this board reported it for spamming (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=1329476), for the Random SEO Essays off of the subdomain: http://randomseo.introgrammar.com/ The essay program itself had been up for a while, but when the subdomain spam started happening last year (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=97090), I modified the site to be powered by subdomains instead of subpages. Since the site matched with the spammer had done (although on a much, much smaller scale), they apparently went ahead and banned it. Here's the thing... there are no ads on that site, period. Therefore, it isn't spam. Hell, I even added the GooglePray meta tag, and mentioned that when I did a re-inclusion request. They won't listen though. Bastards. Ah well. Still a kewl site. -Michael
