New Game: Help me find the penalization!

    Hey all,

    The site: RichKohmStudios.com

    A search for "richkohmstudios.com" or "site:richkohmstudios.com" shows that his homepage is not even in the index. However some of his other pages are.

    If you look at some of the search results for the site, I see a bunch of "sponsored links" on a Godaddy.com parked page and some yellow page sites.

    This is the only issue I can find that could possibly penalize him. My friend doesn't think this is enough to get his homepage de-listed. Any ideas?

    Check your outbound links, you are probably linking to a penalized site, the number one reason for a ban, also remove that javascript, buy an seo report from me for further checks!

    There are only a couple outbound links on this page and I don't think any of them are questionable. Anyone else have an idea?

    Not to my knowledge. What do you guys think about the link on this page? I've found a few links like this. where does godaddy.com get these links?

    The embedded mp3 locked out my Google toolbar. Have you checked Google Webmaster Tools for any messages?

    Also, the meta descriptions are the same on many pages. It would be better to drop them altogether than have them duplicated.

    That is a parked domain that gets ads from Google. It is not your problem.

    Good to know speda. I did check the google webmaster account and their have been no messages. If you do an "info:richkohmstudios.com" search in Google, it shows you a result for another website which is owned by the same guy. The website is exactly the same. I think there is some kind of weird redirect/cloaking thing going on and no penalty
