I have a new site up for a client put online about a two weeks ago Am due this week to start SEO and gerneral marketing It has 51 pages currently ranked in google In the regular google searches it isnt ranking yet however when I select "Pages from Ireland" it came up 1st for its main key term (its an irish domain) however today when I checked it its not coming up at all for "pages from Ireland" I have a bad feeling about this Is there anyway to know if I have been blacklisted or am being punished by google
did you buy a lot of links with the same anchor recently? Or did you register in some doubtful catalogs?
I have zero back links As I said we are just about to do marketing I have an Irish ccTLD The .com is quit a big site could this have an effect various other ccTLDs are also taken
I think google is just starting to cached your site? or maybe you have to continue building links to a higher PR site to increase your backlinks. do more blog commenting that is related to your site. don't submit links to automation links.
Nothing's wrong here, new sites easily get indexed and rank then drop and now it's your quest to gather strong backlinks with fresh content for bots to crawl and rank your site.
There is no way you will know that you are penalized on Google. You must always observe your rankings.
