    Hi,

    I am the webmaster of www.hotarticles.net .
    This site is online from July, 2005.
    It was very vell indexed: +55000 pages
    It has 53 backlinks
    For a few days I haven't any data on google. No cache: , no site: , no backlinks:

    Can you take a look on my site and tell me if there is any reason to be penalty ?

    Thanks !

    site:hotarticles.net shows nothing, and that sounds like a penalty.

    Is this a turney site you bought and then customized? The content I saw looks like reprints from other sources. Are there any original articles on the site?

    I didn't see anything on the site that would lead to a ban - so assuming you haven't changed anything, then it may be it's just duplicate content. Google has really been cracking down on sites that don't provide anything original - and I don't know if your site falls under that category or not.

    "It was very vell indexed: +55000 pages"


    Since July 2005? New Website? Can anyone else see the bigger picture?

    This site is created by me. Most of the articles are from other sources. But for a while (+3 weeks) I received articles from others users. I supose that they submit their articles on other sirtes, too.

    I did not change anything. My site is on this form from begining.

    Today I saw that I still have some pages on google's cache. Is that a good sign ?

    I have cache for /forum and /web-directory.php
