I have a domain which a domain ban checker website shows as banned by google. The site is is the debt one in my signature. This is a 8+ year old domain. Is it now worthless??
Are you sure its 8+ years old(whois says so). Has just one page indexed in Google, Homepage isn't indexed(hence is showing as banned by the ban checker). Yahoo shows just one backlink(from flippa)..Archive.org shows no matches for age. Sorry but something's weird. :|
It's not banned, it shows 1 page indexed. You probably need some backlinks and when it will be crawled next time, more pages will get indexed.
Even if a domain - site is banned - it doesn't mean forever. I purchased a site 2 years ago and Google banned it within a month even though they indexed it at first and than all of a sudden the more traffic the site got from yahoo, the more Google got pissed off and banned it. Now, it took about 18 months and the site is back on Google and has a PR 2. In all the time the site was banned from the SERP Google did not banned the site from Adsense, weird - isn't it? In any case - they bann and unbann sites at random and for various reasons, so - no big deal, especially if you have plenty of sites.
Thanks guyz for your comments. I am the owner of the domain since approx. 1.5 years. I just started up a site on it...So was wondering. I will continue it as a blog in that case. Thanks again
