Penalized in Google? -50 like the rest of us? Question...

    Is your site still ranking for it's company name

    example: if your site is www.bestdamnsite.com

    are you ranking in google if you search for "bestdamnsite"

    I'm seeing some sites hit by the -50 penalty and on top of that no longer ranking for their name. looks like double trouble

    I remember the whole alive / aviva directory thing...but Google is at it again...things that happened months ago can and are happening again - it's been added into the algo

    It just happened to three sites I noticed that were de-indexed on the 10th of december and re-indexed again. Not old news.

    I wonder how many people found themselves on the 5th page but after being reindexed but failed to check to see if they are still ranking for their company name.

    I agree with you Kianah, that is what happed, just like yours, my site got de-indexed, then reindexed with a -50. Not showing for the company name.

    Don't know what Google wants, but it is their X-mas present. Hopefully it gets fixed soon, but if you look at the following thread, it is on this incident: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=592737&highlight=site+deindexed

    It is being said that it could be caused by too many links too fast, too much PR juice coming in all of a sudden, using the same anchor text for alot of text links among others......but none of this makes sense to me. Because all this can be done to you by anybody, you competitors...meaning the system is flawed.

    But thats what the word on the street is right now.
