I don't think I am banned because I am still in results, but now I am number 300 instead of 3. All my web pages are still indexed as well... and I have no messages in GWT.
Happened to me about 9 months ago..Same thing didn't dissapear but dropped to 300 or so..finally coming back now...Welcome to Google
Wish i would have known about your site i might have saved a few bucks on my wheels and tires for my Expedition thx malcolm
Sandbox probably............. Wait and try to get good PR backlinks from a higher PR and max 10 in 1 month not more than that. will help you surely
Check your outbound links, if you've just linked to a penalized site, you will be penalized as well. go through any new links that you have addedd. If the link goes to a page where the homepage for the site as a whole is zero, remove that link, this is more than likely to be your problem.
I don't link to any one from my home page, only a link page. I will just wait it out... maybe it will do llike it did last time. At the beginning of june this happened and it fixed it self..
Dropping from 3 to 300 is a typical case of a penalized website (not banned) but this just happened to one of my clients too, and to tell the truth i have no idea why his rankings dropped like that. one thing that i suspect is that may be they just changed a little thing in their algo (they are always "improving" their alog) and this affected my client. remember when they changed their algo so websites with "www.keyword1-keyword2.com" are now just like "www.keyword1keyword2.com", when they did that thousands of websites with the "-" dropped from the top 10 to nowhere in the 15th page because they didnt have the "-" (space) advantage anymore. (not all of the website that use "-" but many of them).
Is this theory works? can you post the site name and keyword here...as if it is working than i will use this theory. Anyways thanx
