G'day all, Can anyone please help me? 2 weeks ago my company forgot to renew the registration for our domain (previous IT admin left, renewal reminders were emailed to his unchecked inbox). Suffice to say I was very, very annoyed. As a result, the website went down for approximately 60 hours. Its back up and running now, but a large number of my pages that would get number 1 postion on Google organic results have either a) dropped off the first page or b) have not been indexed at all. 1. Will I be able to get these pages back to where they were in time? 2. Has Google's new caffeine been instrumental in this drop off? 3. What else can I do?? This website is my livelihood (I work in sales and this is my primary lead source) Any suggestions or comments are welcome. Cheers, Dan
Im not experienced with such kind of situations how ever it seems logic that you will get your own spot back. I mean your website is still the same and the backlinks are still there so I think it is just a mater of time. Maybe you can speed the process a bit up by building some quality backlinks. ps: hope this was a good lesson never let someone alone be responsible for something.
it was a good experienced for me that google had removed my site and i had restored back to the same rankings after a down time of 4 days at my server...
Sound like the googlebot came crawling, and no one was home... bad luck. All you can do is keep on doing what you are doing, and try to get indexed again. Let your host know how unhappy you are, btw, sometimes they have the good sense to upgrade you as some kind of compensation, although I've never seen one actually offer hard cash...
Google likely removed your URLs from their index after attempting to crawl the site a few times during that period. If the site is back up, your rankings should return. But you're going to have to wait a few weeks, maybe even a month or two for them to recrawl all of your inbound links. After all of your inbound links have been recrawled, your URLs will regain credit for all of their inbound links and the rankings/traffic should return.
