    Your site wasn't banned by Google. A quick search showed that your site is listed in its index, but you're not ranking well for anything.

    One thing you may want to do though is remove the links to your other sites at your footers since there's a good chance that your site could eventually be banned from the search engines for participating in a linking scheme.

    You should also create a sitemap.xml file and a robots.txt file as well - the former to tell the search engines whcih files to index; the latter to tell them which ones not to.

    Now, as for ranking - your site has a lot of structural issues that need to be addressed. I'm not seeing any headings used at all, links are all over the place, there is no sense of consistent navigation from page to page, or even sections of the same page at first glance (though it does become apparent as you move around a bit), and your sitemap.html file reads more like an advertisement for your services than a directory of what's on the site (let your other pages advertise your services - use the sitemap.html file to let people find what they're looking for). You may also want to consider setting up a custom 404 file as well.

    If I were you, I would seriously consider hiring a Web developer who has experience with information architecture and search engine optimization to analyze the site and determine what improvements can be made not only to structure of the site, but also the optimization of the site's content and the usability of the site as well.

    (Off-Topic: I live in Aurora, and your Aurora page didn't even tell me what your company can do for me in A-Town, such as local establishments that you could drive me and a party to, such as Hollywood Casino or The Foundry, the Paramount Arts Center, or even the Irish bar & grill that I can't seem to remember the name of for the life of me despite currently being less than two blocks away from it. Targeting your pages for the locales and municipalities and the people that live in them rather than just repeating the same content on multiple pages will also help you a lot, especially when trying to rank for limo and delivery services in those areas.)

    www.yourchicagolandlimo.com has NO UNIQUE CONTENT. The content on that page is repeated on hundreds of other pages, http://www.google.com/search?q="Get...ls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=9PB&filter=0


    This your main text on the page
    "Call us now!
    Get to know how it is possible, that we can offer you
    such great comfort, so lovable drivers and luxury
    in those special moments of your life at so low prices"

    Seriously,
    1. This copy is unprofessional! It is not well written If I was looking for a limo I would probably not even consider you based on your sites copy (if your copy is unprofessional I would assume your business is unprofessional).
    2. Why should G index a page that has no unique content?
    3. The first thing I would do is hire a writer to write some good sales copy for this page and use it only on this page. 250 to 300 words should do it. I think that will get you back in G's good graces and It will help with sales, the few bucks spent on good copy will easily pay for its self in one extra rental.

    No offense intended, just my honest opinion as a webmaster and a consumer.

    Wow Eddie, I tried being nice about the duplicate content issue. And I'm pretty well known for being blunt, but your post takes the cake!

    As Eddie said, your site has no real content on its home page. Just about everything on it is repeated elsewhere. I'd start by putting some content on the home page that cannot be found elsewehre on the site.

    It also appears to be a duplicate content issue as said above to me...there are SEVERAL sites with very similar content out there...can you make some unique content and post it. Unique = not used on ANY other sites and see what happens.

    Just my thoughts

    Not only that (now that I've had a few days to think about this), but why are you running multiple Chicago and Chicago area limousine service sites? It'd be far better to concentrate on one and reap the rewards of the effort put into it than to dilute your efforts by running multiple sites offering the same thing.

    You have two different sites based on two different businesses. Each site looks like the other, and I'd assume that both businesses are pretty much the same. Though unlike the yellow pages of the phone book, the google index like EACH site to be different. So it does not make a difference if you and your girlfriend each have a site/business. What does make a difference is that both sites look very similar as far as content.

    So how about you have your girlfriend write her own content?

    No body can help you any more then they already have. Though I must say that eddie made a VERY good point. Very few if any people will actually bother ordering from your site if it does not look professional. Use a spell checker and maybe a grammar checker. I understand that english may not be your first language, but if you are wanting native english speaking people to actually hire a limo, then speak to them in a way that does not make their brains hurt.

    From previous posts, you are NOT banned, you have only lost SERP. There is a HUGE difference. Getting unbanned can take months, as you only lost SERP you have the potential to get top rankings any moment (or in a week, or in a month)... it's really hard to tell, though it'll certainly be faster (and much faster) then getting banned.

    In fact, this thread is likely enough to pull in the bots to see changed content. Though, I did not bother to check...

    I don't think that your site is banned, I searched and found 2000+ pages indexed.

    Why do you think that your site is banned ?
