About a month ago i set up a website.until last week it showed up on the second and third page for my key words.Now i cant seem to find it and when i google the url then the results it shows for my page says :www.url.com/extension (just a example url) Cached - Similar pages it doesnt just show just the url anymore.I did not use black hat or grey hat tactics as i am new to the whole webmaster scene and i did not want to jeopordise anything.the tactics i used was articles submissions and video sharing sites.I did however put 2 PLR articles on my website that was issued for free. Please tell me if i might be banned
It was most likely just sandboxed. Take a look if it's still in google's cache. If it's there, it's not banned.
Try this search site:you site name if it shows up results for your site then your site is in google index
Thanx guys yes it is still cached.I just wasnt sure what to do,but I am sure its is not banned now.I think the first sitemap i sent google i did not do properly so that might have had an influence,but im gonna sort that out now. thanks for your help
Here is some info on what you can do to get out of the sandbox. http://www.free-seo-news.com/newsletter148.htm
When Google first finds you, you will rank for some keywords initially, not very well mind you, then it goes away. This is normal and nothing to worry about. Keep doing your thing and it will come back some day better than ever although this will take some time as in some time in 2009 probably. Building up your web site's rep is a long term activity made even more long term by the fact that search engines treat the number of YEARS your site has been up as an important factor so if your site is new you have to be extra patient Ken King Cobra Poker
