Suspended websites ranking

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by Jean Costa, Aug 23, 2008.

    The website ranking at #1 of a keyword that I have been targeting it's website has had a "THIS WEBSITE HAS BEEN SUSPENDED" for about 2-3 weeks now, and has even been cached by Google 2 times in the past that I have seen in the dates.

    Question... is there anything I can do to bump it down? Or do I just sit and wait until Google finally decides that its not relevant.

    Just keep doing your SEO work. I've seen sites go down from server crashes and sites deindexed, only to see them pop back up to their previous ranks within a couple weeks of their sites coming back.

    Just give it time, if the website has the original content back it may take a few weeks before it returns, if not a few months. What matters now is when Google will re-cache your site.

    So true. If they are gone they will eventually fall out. But the real truth is not to focus on them. Continue the SEO, working on links with quality sites, creating good content and time may see you victorious:D

    Well it has been about 4 weeks, and the website still holds #1 and #2 position. While mine is still at #5. The website was recently cached again on September 1st. The #1 position is to the index, and the #2 is to an about page. The about page is still operational, and is working fine.

    Anyways... What is interesting to note is the following.

    The homepage all it has is the "THIS WEBSITE HAS BEEN SUSPENDED" written in text. And if I view the source code, the website still has the meta tags, fully optimized.

    However, all the other pages are still up and operational. Example.... an about page, etc.

    In the past that website did have sub-listings under it, but those have been gone ever since the website has had the "THIS WEBSITE HAS BEEN SUSPENDED" written on it.

    If this website remains at #1 and #2 respectively for another month, what does that mean for Google? After all, Google has preached some much about having "unique content" as a way to get great rankings.

    This is all very interesting.....

    Maybe you can tell it in a more delicate way, like this ;)

    You have to wait for Google, he will eventually come and set things right, because you know he's good, it just takes time, maybe to much. But he will come...

    He's not like a dictator, even if he sounds like one and acts like one, because he has good intentions. But good intentions is such a relative term. Like in that book by Dan Brown -> Digital Fortress.

    "Who will guard the guardian"...

    ;)
