How can I find out if I am banned from google? My site was on the first page in google for some quite major keywords in november 2005, but in the end of decembre 2005 I noticed the site didn't just lose a few places but was completely removed from results in google. Only when I press the "repeat the search with the omitted results included." I can see my site. How could I be certain what happened and why?
check with site:www.yoursitename.com. If you can't find your site with it then yes you are banned. This may be happened with Google's Jagger update, your site must had lots of non relevant link backs. Many site having not related back links suffered from this. Try to use google sitemap, ethical link building and SEO, put a sitemap on your site.
"site:www.myrsitename.com" returns 161 results, I have 14 backlinks including DMOZ and sitemap installed. Googlebot is crawling my site at least twice a week, but still I am not included in the results even for "title of my site". Is it possible that I got banned for having duplicated content? I actually had two urls for the same page: xxx.mysite.com and www.mysite.com/xxx but I did the redirect (error 301) afterwords (I hope I did it the right way).
You can find some answers here. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=46145 Or just read through the Sandbox subforums.
Google tends to prefer older sites - they seem to have an aging filter to stop wide boys creating a site, making $$$$$ with spam then movin on when they get banned. You could be there for 9mths or more worse case, often 4-8 though Its a twat, good luck Jamie
The funny thing is I already ranked great for some keywords and now I lost it completely... Did they missed me and forgot to put me into sandbox (if it exists) on the first place?
It seems that you get a few weeks leeway then wallop!! Whack Sandbox into gogle and have a read, or follow the link posted above. Jamie
if you are talking about this site:fusion.euromaterials.com Than no you arent baned. That site has a PR of 2. Where did you get the idea that you were banned?
read the thread from the start please. But just for example try to type in google search "iter fan" (with quotes) you'll see that at least half of results are found because of the link to my site, but my site is missing from results page... Ok, so site is not banned, it just doesn't get to be shown among results, which is the same if not worse.
