    Yesterday I saw that I was not getting any visitits from Google. Ussualy I get 100 daily visitors on my targeted niche blog.
    I have Google Webmaster tools and says my site is still indexed and I got no messaged in my inbox.
    If I type site:mysite.com in Google I see all my pages indexed.
    If I search by the keywords I was targeting, I am nowere to be found.

    What do you think? Am I banned or not ?

    If your site is still indexed then your aren't banned. It can just be a Google dance. That happens a lot of newer websites.

    This happens quite often. Have you been building a lot of backlinks lately or changed titles or content?

    Most often it will come back in a couple of days a little better than what it was.
    I would not worry for another week ;)

    Even if you can still your site indexed it doesn't mean that your site is not banned. Search engines usually cleans up every month and it takes time to removed a site that is banned.

    You can check your site for any seo penalty http://www.seopenalty.com/

    If no, then, you should build more dofollow backlinks with anchored keyword using your preferred keyphrases.

    There might be 2 reasons:
    1. Your competitor have just outrank you in SERP ranking
    2. Value of your backlink dropped or nofollowed.

    You are not banned Google must have changed up their algo. If you use the site: feature and your website comes up you are not banned.
