What To Do When Your Home Page Vanishes From Google

    Hi!
    I have a new experience with Google. After 4 month I got my website to no 1 for a certain keyword string. It was there for 2 months and today my home page totally vanished from Google. I resubmitted the site - today - and wait and see...
    What could be the reason for Google to take my home page out while leaving the other pages in its index? I did not make any big changes...
    Any suggestions?

    You are not alone, just read some of the threads, it's happend to lots of people during this update, my homepage vanished yesterday morning, it's certainly got me worried about whats going on.

    The rumor is just wait and see what happens when the update has finished. Easy to say, not so easy to do !

    Just sit tight and wait. It's happened to me countless times, a few days and it'll be back

    Don't resubmit or panic, just wait a few days and check back.
    Now is not the time for knee jerk reactions.

    Were you updating your site's content?

    Building good text links is suggested as well as be patience.

    Optimize it again, by building links from directories and submit again in Search engines if you are done optimizing it, on-page and off-page.

    One of my sites home page disapeared I think early tuesday as the day wore on more & more pages got deindexed till i was down to around 10% of my normal amount of pages indexed at the same time traffic dropped by 90%
    Obviously cause i had no pages indexed late yesterday pages started to return to the index & I belive they are all now back traffic is slowly returning serps returned to where they were 72 hours ago only other thing to add is the site in question was due to get some decent PR 5 months old just missed last update solid amount of links Traffic allways climbing google loved it & indexed everything Only thing is now my third levle pages have minimal PR1 I belive second level pages have none neither does the home page pretty weird to say the least.

    Just sit tight if you have done nothing wrong all will return to normal
    dont change anything for a few weeks as then you will never know what caused the result if you start cxhanging this & that.
