Question About Google De-Listing

Yimes · 10-17-2011, 08:27 AM

I have a young site (3 weeks old) that is admittedly small (only 3 pages) but growing. The content is unique, written by me. It is based on a small Amazon product that I use daily, and there is an affiliate link to the product on Amazon. My site was ranking in the top 10 for main keyword and top 15 for two others.

Yesterday my site was de-listed from Google. It was not just hit, it is completely gone.

My question is, when a site is de-listed is a reason ever given? Is there a way to get a reason from Google?

There are no messages on webmaster tools relating to this site.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Are you absolutely sure it's gone? It's likely you are just experiencing the Google Dance where the website is really just bouncing around in the search engines.

I suggest going to google and typing the following:

site:websitename.com

So if your website is http://www.WarriorForum.com

You would simply type:

site:warriorforum.com

Without the http:// or www.

If your website is listed, then it wasn't "delisted".

Justin: Did that and it is gone.

EDIT:

Ok, it appears that it is gone for with the www but when I site: search without the www is is there.

Now I am confused. Why would one drop out and not the other?
