    all right ... for those of you who think google de-listed your site and you have a wordpress site... CHECK YOUR OLD PLUGINS FIRST.

    for this example... you see I used to use the REDIRECTION plugin for WP but is SUCKED and didnt do its job the way I needed it to, so I deleted it... WELL !

    it didnt delete out of the MySQL database... and i think since it was mad that I thought the plugin was GARBAGE ! it decided to "F" my website up !

    I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT IT IS... but I am banking BIG on that is what it was !

    Well i will see in a month or so LOL

    Check your .htaccess file thoroughly for any RedirectRules that might be causing this type of behavior with google webmaster tools.

    I agree with Traffic-Bug...go through your .htaccess file to ensure nothing new has been added by one of your plugins

    Hey thanks you guys for the great responses but i have fixed it.


    IT WAS THE REDIRECTION PLUGIN - after i deleted the plugin, it deleted the files but it "F" something up in the MySQL database and i really dont know the rest. But a simple deletion of MySQL database tables resolved my YEAR LONG issue of being "de-listed"

    OH MY G!

    Thanks for everyones help !
