My website went down for a few hours and now the search engines hate me

    About a week ago my website that was ranking highly for most of my posts went down for a few hours, during this period of time the search engines crawled and realized that it wasn't responding and therefore penalized me by ranking all my pages to the bottom.

    Has anything like this ever happened to any of you?

    Usually the pages will come back the next time google crawls them. Give it another week or two and your rankings should be back.

    ... also submitting your website to search engines may speed up the indexing process.

    A few hours of downtime wouldn't cause that. The search engines are smart enough to realize when a server is down.

    How you know that search engines crawled your site during that time ?
    It's just normal. It happens to most of the sites... all you have to do is to concentrate on the content and build some backlinks, it'll be back.

    Are you using black hat technique? If not start doing off page optimization so that you can regain your website traffic.
