De-Indexed by Google

My personal blog, I once was #1 for several key phrases, and had a PR4. Now, I show NO inbound links, PR0 and not on the radar screen when searching. What could have happened, and what can I do?

 

That sxxk. Did you do any illegal activities to improve your site?

 

No, I really don't promote it very much as it's mostly personal stuff. I really don't understand. I don't display any ads or anything on it!

 

darn. Are you sharing same IP with lot of other sites?

 

My site has been de-indexed couple times only to get better rankings

 

hey freinds,

suddenly my site has been taken off the google search engine....I was getting 70% of traffic fromm google search.MMy friend told me its cuz of PR update.

Is it true that my sit has been de-indexed due to pr update.My current pr is still 2.

plz help im in truble.One of my friends site was taken off the index.But laters in a week it was added back.

help me....

 

No, I lost PR and everything

 

I would have to guess it was flagged for some reason. Duplicate content and illegal activities are the only reasons I can think of.

 

Its possible that some of the IBL(s) were devalued.

 

Blogs often get their rankings from being quoted/linked by other people,

if

the pages on which where linked have been deleted by the other people

if the pages your where linked on have lost page rank

if the links have simply being removed

all could cause loss of link power, loss of pr, de indexed ,


You do really have to actively promote a site if you want something from it

Unless, you're really in demand an others effectively keep promoting you, i.e. celebrity

 

Does the site: command show any pages. If it does, you probably aren't banned.

 

Yes. Link building never ends.

 

I had several very good links that brought in a majority of the traffic, and I had probably close to a thousand inbound links. Not actively promoting it I might expect a slight drop in PR but not a 0 and dropped from the index!

 

Well I think I figured it out. Looking around on Google Webmaster tools, I found that when the crawl came around it got 403 errors. I guess Dreamhost let me down when I needed my site up the most.

 

what's the url? we can give more specific advice.

 

it may just be a temporary glitch, it does happen in Google sometimes, wait a day or so and your serp's and pr may be back to normal.

fingers crossed for you

 

The URL is www.bradsblog.net.

Why was this thread moved?

 

What is it showing in your Google webmaster account?

It may be to do with the PR update.

 

I am trying to upload the verification file, and did so. After attempting to verify, it's saying it's getting a 403 error. Any idea why?

 

Very bizarre getting an access denied error, same thing happened to me with an autoblog, i put it down to crap content, but if you have an original blog i see no reason why it should get dropped from G. is your 403 error server related?
