    Can someone check out my site and see what google talking about
    ive looked at the php, css it clean from my limited programing.

    As for links ALL i have done is submit to directories.
    I personally havent done any of what the suggested.

    Im trying to figure this out.
    Ive talked to my programmer and he's not sure either

    Thanks for your time

    That is automated email sent. You still have to wait for their staff reply in details. I see no reasons that why you got banned. No parts of your site has broken Google TOS but I'll show you my case. My company site has benn 8 years old and ranked #1 for various search terms in our industry in Google for 8 years. I never used any tricky to get top ranked but 2 days ago, only my first page had been excluded from Google indexed. I wonder why and emailed them to ask. today, my first page has been included and get top ranked as it was before :D . That's serious situation because It's company site. E-commerce sites with selling products. ;)

    It's not showing in the Google index. It looks like it was purchased on Afternic recently. Perhaps the previous owner did something?

    The site is only a few months old
    and i currently have no control over how it was made, i dont know php very well.

    I can log into a CMS/admin and make changes.
    But no black hat or white hat seo.
    Just one way directory submissions.

    Ive been checking my links with seo elite
    and it seems that someone possible added my site to link vault or the co-op DP.
    as here are a few sites, that dont currently have my site
    but show links in the SE's

    could be.

    I had mentioned to google that the previous owner had a casino site
    i found this out here
    http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.mysoftwarehq.com/

    here are a few that work
    http://web.archive.org/web/20000817042055/http://www.mysoftwarehq.com/
    http://web.archive.org/web/20050125162300/http://mysoftwarehq.com/

    I downloaded the whole site, and its confusing.. lots of folders and subfolders, not sure where to start checking or what to check for.

    If you have no control how it was made , then it possibly had some blackhat SEO . Google very rarely remove sites from their index.

    Hopefully you will get a better responce from google soon. As they are evidently "ramping" up their efforts to keep webmasters in the loop.

    It can be very frustrating when you have a site dsiappear and nothing to go by.

    Also the code looks neat and clean, above board and in compliance. Hopefully they will re-index it soon.

    Possibly the reason.

    It could also be that the connection is timing out. That's what happens when I try to view the page.

    Well i was told no
    and they have been honest for the last several months
    and examing the code it looks clean.

    thanks Brad, ya i hope i get an answer back, this is worse than sitting in the google sandbox for 8 months.
    regarding "evidently "ramping" up their efforts to keep webmasters in the loop."
    Iv heard of webmasters getting email from google telling them to fix issues.

    and mcfox
    the connection is timing out? ive never had any issues getting to the site
    Anyone know of a FREE or cheap website monitoring so i can check into this?

    Interesting just noticed this
