My blog, was indexed in Google (only the homepage) after a couple of days after I started blogging. But after a week or so, my site disappeared from the Google index. How can I know if my site is sandboxed? Or is it banned ?
If it is that new, probably just need more links to keep your site indexed. Most likely not banned unless you bought a domain where you were unaware of any penalties. What's the url?
Will PM you the URL. I'm scared that it is banned because I did a bad thing... I copy-pasted 2 posts Man, I wish I hadn't done that!!
Well you shouldn't do that - not really fair to the person who created the content. And it will probably evidently trigger a duplicate content trigger in Google. In any case, I checked your url and Google does have a cache of the index page for your blog. My suggestion - write your own stuff and work on getting links to your blog.
It does?? I tried googling site:<my domain here> but no results came up! I've learnt my lesson; I'll never do such stuff again!
its not banned its just in the supplemental index. Probably because the content is not original http://64.233.179.104/search?hl=en&q=site:nithanth.com&btnG=Google+Search
Oh! Thanks for that! But which (country's) Google server's IP is 64.233.179.104? Because, when I try the same query with google.com, it displays no results: http://www.google.com/search?q=site:nithanth.com&hl=en By the way, for everyone else, the site is nithanth.com. I'll remove the duplicate content right now!
