    Hi All,

    I have recently Lost on approx 90% of my serps. Though the PR still remains the same.

    I am not sure if i have been penalised or sanboxed. Its a Blogspot.

    How can i figure it out? Can anyone suggest me how should i check if my site is penalised or sandboxed and remedies in both cases.

    Thanks all

    i think its google dance and your ranking may restore soon. Did you work on link building recently? or change site contents and design?

    You can check your site indexing. if pages deindex then its penalized.

    I checked my site indexing. site:eek:nlinegadgetbox.blogspot.com it gives me 513 indexed pages.

    I have not done any major link building recently, just linked to one site off late.. and may thats where the problem started. I have removed his links from my site, But he is not removing my links from his site even after repeated requests.. What should i do with that?

    Can u be a bit explanatory about Google Dance?.. and how much time time on an avg. it takes to come out of it?

    Google is weird, I would wait a couple days and see if it is restored. You can also contact google. Even ask for a re-review.

    until you get a rank by google, your PR green bar turns into white mean 0 rank

    mobilenews, could you please let me know if your domain is young? Have you performed a massive submission recently?

    Check the following:

    1. site:yourdomain.com (if results are found then you are not banned)
    2. If your site < 12 months old it is normal sandbox fluctuation
    3. If your site is > 1 year it could be a penalty
