    There's a typo in your link (double "l")

    *nevermind, you beat me to it

    Sometimes if you overpromote a keyword google will dump you from the index. Change your anchor text around. And maybe tone down the keywords down you have been promoting in your webpage.

    This has happened to me and its the advice i was given. :)

    It happened to me as well that the site dissapears for several days and then suddenly come back to the same place .

    When your site is banned you will find no indexed pages.
    I typed in site:www.letstalksportsforum.com in the search box and see that your site is still indexed.

    Yeah still in search engine but not good for the viewers eye when they saw that it is banned.

    Do people just post nonsense to get their post numbers up?

    Don't worry buddy!
    Mine dropped too since last friday.
    It has to do with the PR update.

    Everything will be back to normal in a few days. Just relax and don't worry too much.
    There are at least 20 people here (see threads from a few days ago below) who have the same problem at the moment.
    It's sucks, but it's life ;)

    There's a lot of flux but a pr export in of itself has nothing to do with a data push or everfux.

    No your site has not being banned by Google. I checked with link: and site: commands and the search returned results for your site.
    Just give it time and keep doing SEO work on your site and you will return to the top.

    Your rankings should come back. Just give it a little time.
