    What the hell is all this happening. I too lost indexed pages. Is that some problem with the datacenters, the tool i m using or something gone wrong with google.

    It is either becauce of site maps or text link ads.
    Incidentally I bet all of us here lost PR in the google pr update last month!
    Is that a connection?

    I'm pretty sure it's something gone wrong with google.
    Of the (about 10) sites that I personally know of that have been completely removed, none seem to have any particular reason to be banned. My own included.

    Well I will be happy to blow that assertion out of the water. Both my missing sites went up in PR (PR 4 to 5 and PR 0 to PR 4). So forget that.

    Well I hope you are right. I have found some "duplicate content issues" with my two missing sites so I am correcting them anyway...but I ABSOLUTELY don't think they are blatant enough to cause both sites to entirely drop out of the index?

    But I am getting concerned. Its now over 72 hours and neither site has popped back in.

    I did find indexed hijack proxies for each site indexed in Google. I blocked them at my firewall level and submitted a spam report on both with Google. But I am not going to submit a reconsideration request on these sites anytime soon until I am sure of the problem, which I certainly am not at this point.

    That is the single most encouraging I have heard.
    It is a Boogle
    Kinda catchy that.

    Incidentally how old is everyones sites
    I have a suspicion most will be a year to two years old and instead of emerging totally from the sandbox they have been deindexed

    Duplicate content I doubt. My site is far too boring to duplicate.

    It may well be down to a blacklisted IP address.
    I think we are onto something here
    There is a site I saw once for checking if email was a spammer and blacklisted

    Texas
    The same as my site.
    Is this a coincidence or is the a problem with the Texas datacenter?
    As a guess with IP ranging from 68 - 72
    Any connection for anyone else?

    That's The Planet IP block (Hostgator backbones on it also). That block is it is well known for hosting ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes (autosurfs and hyips) and GPT programs

    I this is gettimng like Cludo.
    It is something basic that the sites all have in common.
    How old are all your peoples sites
    That is the next most obvious
    I have a few more sites that are hosted on the same server too that are not affected.
    The one thing that we all have in common though is juice.
    All of these sites are highly juiced, on their way to being players.
    I hope it is not the start of another sandbox type algo.
    My shite sites with paid inbound were not touched. My whitehat industry leader has been nuked.
    Manual inclusion perphaps since I think we are all in a room full of webmasters / SEO who were about to enter the top positions for our fields

    Just to put some more "holes" in our attempt to place an explanation on this recent Google $%*& slap, domain age apparently doesn't have anything to do with it -- look at the ages of the 3 sites of mine that were affected and gone from the index:

    Missing Software Site #1 - domain birthdate of 6/03
    Missing Software Site #2 - domain birthdate of 8/00
    Missing Finance Site #3 - domain birthdate of 6/02

    These sites are NOT what I would characterize as weak, recent sites at all. Again, I am still dumbfounded. There seems to be no ryme or reason for these sites be affected and not any others.

    Was there a lot of juice flowing to them?
    That could be wrongly intererated as high PR paid links?
    As a suggestion short term
    Map another domain to the banned one
    so at least you have a new site!
    Has anyone here been flirting with Matt Cutts missus that would also get you banned.
    And when were you last botted in G tools?
    11 th for me

    Each site had healthy incoming link profiles. But in everything I have read, Google isn't about to go after sites that have healthy incoming link totals "unless" those same sites were actually selling links as well. My sites certainly weren't doing that.

    Are you implying that if you buy links you could be banned from Google? That's crazy, how do you really determine which sites have bought links and which haven't? There is no way to track that 100% accurately. I could see that for the more obvious "text-link-ads" brokered links you may buy, but I wouldn't go near that company with a 10ft pole, no way.

    Googlebot visited me on 12/11 as well. I am also returning a PR 0 for all these sites today on all the datacenters, whereas it wasn't doing that yesterday. Has anyone else checked that at their end?

    My site is over 10 years old and never had any problems. The PR went up in the last update in OCT, things were looking good, SERPs got better. Then I got hit in the face with a brick.

    I don't know what G wants. If it is a glitch, then only people affected know about it. I am sure nobody at G is sitting there looking at every site, if everything seems like its working fine mostly...they probably wont notice our pain.

    Who knows it might take months for them to see something worng in their system. But what perfect timing, right before Xmas.
