Hmmm thats what I was afraid of! The site looks just like a PR 0 Whats the easiest way to verify that the site isn't banned? Just google site:http://www.exampleurl.com ??
Yes, I thinks so. If it's an old site and not indexed - then it's most probably banned. The site I mentioned is one of the Genbucks affiliate sites, that all got deindexed by google this year.
If you use googles webmaster tools and have a sitemap at google in the tools area, it will tell you if the site is indexed. Off of that dialogue there is an area to click and beg forgiveness. I am 1 for 2 in getting a url re-indexed.
One clear example is /www.text-link-ads.com/ It still appears in Google index but if you perform a search with the term Text Link Ads in Google, you will find that Text Link Ads no longer holds the number one spot for their own name
