Former PR6 site, now PR0 & individual pages not being indexed for 6 months or more

    GadgetMadness.com used to have a PageRank of 6 and was well indexed on Google. Today we're PageRank of nothing and individual pages beyond mid 2005 or 2006 don't show up at all - even on the local Google search above. Just try searching for "pink taser" or any keywords from our recent postings. The index page shows up, but not the individual entry page. The individual entry pages for older posts like "robosapien review" are still in Google however.

    Since the beginning of 2007 we've been trying to sort this one out. We've changed site settings, uploaded sitemaps, moved our storefront to a subdomain, and submitted several reinclusion requests to Google with no change in status. We keep making changes, submitting reinclusion requests, and waiting weeks to see if anything changes in Google which has now turned into months and months.

    Please help, we've been trying to resolve this for the better part of 6 months or more and can't figure out what is causing Google to drop our PageRank and pages. Thanks.

    Seems to me that you got some kind of penalty, plug into google webmaster central if you have not done it before .
    Also if you dont see anything in there, that would look alarming, write a reinclusion request to Google and ask them to revise them dropping you out of the serps, they might banned you accidently .
    If none of the above works, then "Welcome to the world dominated by Google" , they just changed the music, so you will have to dance different , and you not the only guy on the dance floor .

    Good luck !

    The loss of pagerank happened at least 6 months ago, probably more. We went from a PR6 to a PR0 and we've been trying to figure out why since then.

    After our last change about a week ago we sent YET ANOTHER reinclusion request using this link:
    http://www.google.com/support/bin/r...other&Other=none_above&Action.Search=Continue

    It's frustrating making changes to a site when you don't even know what they are penalizing for.
