Did Google Ban My Site or Not?

    Hi,

    For the past couple of months I have been working on white-hat SEO of my website. I have tracked SERP of my keywords on Google and it was as following:

    make website in flash - page 1
    corporate website design - page 6
    website design ideas - page 13
    flash website design software - page 3
    website design prices - page 10
    website design price - page 8
    website design costs - page 4
    website design awards - page 4
    website design templates - page 15
    flash website design templates - page 10
    cheapest website design - page 6
    website designing software - page 13
    website design flash - page 9
    ____________

    Yesterday I have checked one of the keywords on Google (make website in flash) and it wasn't on the first page anymore. I went further, and I couldn't find my website even on the second, third, fourth, until the 18th page. Then I just stopped because I got tired and couldn't find my site on any pages.

    I then checked the other keywords and my site wasn't ranking for any of them anymore.. I checked like 15 pages for each keyword on my list and my site didn't rank on any google pages for them. This happened yesterday and today nothing changed. So I decided to ask if you guys can help me or give any advise. The website url is www.makeawebguide.com

    Do you think its possible that Google has banned me for some reason, or is there anything else that could of caused this.

    Thanks for all your help!

    The only time you'll know that Google banned your website from its search engine is if you search using your site's actual URL. If it doesn't come up, then they've banned you. If it -does- come up, then it's still OK. I Googled your URL and it's still there.

    login to your webmaster tool and find the problem in message section and if it is removed from indexing then request for reconsideration

    No messages on my webmasters account. I guess my website was not banned. Its just weird, what could of affected all my rankings.. Its not like my website was sent backwards by 5 pages for each keyword, I just can't find it now. If for some keywords I was ranking on the first page, now I can't find it even when I look through 20 pages..

    you can check your site on google safe browsing.
    also if you banned, you should get message on your webmaster tools.
    and try site:yourdomain , if that returns results, i.e. indexed pages, it means you not banned.

    For the keywords, this changes every time, and most likely you lost your rankings on these keywords.

    there is a difference between a BAN and a PENALTY. and there can be various levels of penalty.

    about your site, it's surprising it ranked for anything. the navigation and content presentation are terrible.

    It is called google dance, you will be on the same position or a higher one, just wait.
    Google is trying to find you a place.

    If your site is banned then the site should not be indexed anymore.
    To find out if it is banned type site:www.yoursite.com in the google search egine
    If it does not return nany results then it is banned.

    If it is not banned it is possibly an effect of your SEO work or a temporarily effechct of Google dance

    I've noticed that when I'm logged into the same Google account that my Webmaster Tools is connected to, Google will automatically remove my site from my results. I suppose they do that as a convenience, though it can be a pain.

    In the future, fire up another browser quickly and make sure you're not logged in. Your site should display as usual :)

    your site is not banned. i think Google panda dislike your site. Google panda is a tool which decreases ranking of sites which use black hat seo tricks, copy content of others and many other illegal move. as your site ranking is decreasing that means other sites are improving their content and using much more developed tricks than you. so do not be tensed of getting banned and just compare you strategy with other top ranked site.

    best of luck

    thanks

    It's not banned. Probably facing some short of penalty.

    What about the "viewer_en.properties.xml.gz" file? Why its being downloaded without user's consent?
