Ok so one of my hosting companies suspended an account of mine, and my biggest earning site was offline for just over a day. Now the whole site has disappeared from google - no results, no spidered pages. http://www.iwebtool.com/google_banned says the site may be banned as there are no results. Would google really ban me for that downtime, or will it be spidered again in due course? Help!!
Hard to believe that google would ban you for a days downtime. The de-indexing may just be temporary. I have seen sites dissappear from google (for certain search phrases) only to return a day later... ok, sometimes it takes a bit longer than that.
I think it should be back after a few days if the site stays up - maybe point another few links to it too
give it about a week and it will be alright. Never saw a website getting the ban only for being down. Or did you do something really, really stupid?
Nope, nothing stupid done. I literally hadn't changed the site for weeks before this, so hopefully it will all be ok. I will really miss the cash if it stays gone. A lesson learned though, go with hosting that has good custimer service and good uptime...
Ok its a week tomorrow and the site hasnt returned to its pevious position, although google now does return results when searching for the url. I enabled sitemaps, added a few links from 3rd party sites etc and updated the content. Webmaster tools show that G hasnt spidered since the day the listing dropped out of the results. I'm now pretty much resigned to losing $30 a day revenue for good Any ideas?
Well I suppose you should wait for google to index those sites that you have linking to you. It will take some time, but that revenue should return.
