Hi to all Digitalpoint members. Friends i need your help. I'm unable to find my domain anywhere in Google's indexes. Its related to courier industry and instead i see my subdomain everywhere. Is the domain penalized? How can i check that? And what should i do to bring it back to indexes. All SEO experts plz plz suggest and help.
Make sure your site is not banned by searching site:yourdomain.com. If you see your site its not banned. But can't say its not penalized. IF your site is penalized your organic traffic will be dropped. If you use G analytics see if there is a decrease in organic traffic. If not use other tools to check its organic traffic. Most of the webmasters get email from google when there site is penalized. *Sites using webmaster tools only receive mail from google. Let me know if you get the solution ?
Thanks Rinku2013 for your expert opinion. I have checked, there is a huge drop in my organic traffic. Already tried site:domain.com and can't see any results. Have not received any email from google. Anything else you could suggest??
I can't give any concrete solution untill I would know the exact details like your domain name, if you are already doing any seo for your site, what's your link building strategy etc. You can tell me if your seo guys tried hard to get good ranking and did some extra work like getting more links ? You can also pm me the information if you don't want to share here and I will get back to you with some solution.
There isn't an official way to find out that website was penalized by Google. It can be seemed only. There are many factors which determines: Drop in website traffic Drop in keywords ranking DeIndexing web pages Devaluing external links Anchor text penalty Find the following things to recover your website from Google penalization: Stop spamming in onsite content Don't use excessive anchor text Increase authority backlinks Increase informative content for users Don't do over optimization
the company i'm working for, used to outsource the SEO work to another company, and my webmasters accounts shows that my traffic dropped immediately after that company was asked to discontinue its services and i was hired for the same. Date when previous company was asked to discontinue: Feb 9, 2013 Date when domain was penalized: Feb 11, 2013 Screenshot of webmaster account: I started my operations from 10th Jan 2013. So is it possible that the previous company did something mischievous to get the domain penalized by google?? Please share your expert opinion. Thanks
Send request to google from webmaster. He is only one who can resolve your problem. Because your site penalized by google so we can't do anything for that.
Check the ranking of your website for least competitive keywords and view the position. If your site is not in top 100, it means it is penalized. Check Google Webmaster Tools for your site health and work on on-page SEO work then request to Google for consideration.
friends i just received a review from google that they have not penlized the domain. Now the big question is that how can i get my domain back to indexes?? its not available even if i search my domain?
Here are some points i believe may help you to get your website back ! 1 - Pay deep attention on your google analytics and webmaster tool account - You'll probably have an idea why it happened ... 2 - Remove all spammy/ low quality links you have created for this website like bulk directory submission, article submission, social bookmarking.... 3 - Remove all copied/spammy/low quality content if you have on your blog section or somewhere on website. 4 - Diversify your anchor text to look it more natural. 5 - Focus on page load time and avoid unnecessery scripts/codes. ON THE OTHER HAND - Start earning links from authority resources like guest blog posts, quality article submission, content marketing and authority and genuine blog comments.

@puredigits: thanks a ton for your expert opinion. i have checked everything but the issue is that the previous seo company which was working on my website did something mischievous due to which this has happened, if you read my previous posts in this thread you'll get an idea what i'm trying to figure out. Pls revert with whatever comes to your mind regarding the situation....
It seems difficult to me, I couldn't understand this thing completely, if Google is saying that your site is not penalized and when you check your site in Google by typing site:yourdomain.com you are not finding your site there..... it is difficult for me. Can you check if there is any problem with your robots.txt file?
Hi Fatmanonline Chk this thread https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/how-can-we-get-out-from-spam-sites-by-google.2652186/#post-18561791 and i replied for same issue in this thread. If u Need More, I'm waiting to explain Thank You
thanks DABacklinks & MikeQ for your suggestions but my website is clean, Google has already reviewed and found no spam. The issue is my SEO company did something to remove my website from indexing. I think they used Google Webmasters Change of Address tool as i see my competitors website instead for every keyword related to my domain
