My sites are disappearing!

[gjd6599]

I have a website websitehostingplans.org that is about six months old. It has been on page one or two, depending on the day for months. About two weeks ago it disappeared, and has not returned.

I have seen some of my sites disappear for a day or two, while google shuffles everything, but this site, and one other similar one, on a different topic, have been gone for weeks.

I searched all the way to position 1000, with no luck. As you can see from the site, it is legit, with nothing that google would be upset with. I don't do anything black hat.

I assume they have been de-indexed them, but I have no idea why. I haven't even been in either site for 2 months.

Any ideas?

Thanks Glenn

On the google search box - type in site:websitehostingplans.org

This will tell you if the site is still indexed or not

This has happened to me in the past to one of my most precious sites. It was just before Christmas and losing this meant I would lose $1000s. I obviously panicked and inquired from several people. What they told me was to provide fresh content and fresh links in a regular basis for a couple of weeks and I should be able to get it back.
I got a few articles written and scheduled them to be posted at regular intervals and I also submitted like 5 articles to EzineArticles like every other day.
And my site returned to the 1st page, don't remember if it was higher or lower than what it originally was.
May be that's what you should try also, afterall, Google wants fresh content and fresh links... I guess you have to keep doing it for life!

P.S. The fact that your site has been cached on the April 14th means the situation is not serious

Good luck!

First to check - webmaster tool, this should give you an idea what's went wrong, then fix them.

Can you share some of your webmaster tool problem?

I'm glad I read this post because honestly the idea of something like that happening never occurred to me.

Probably a good reason not to have a bunch of sites if you don't have the time to handle it.

That is also what it took for one of my sites to get its ranking back. I think that Google wants to keep us on our toes.
