Site De-Indexed because of EZA?

[sOliver]

I setup a little site targeting a specific keyword. I quickly landed on the first google page for that keyword.

Today my EZA articles was published and now my site is de-indexed.

I double-checked if there is any duplicate content, but only the title is similar but not the same.


I have used some of my blog posts and submitted them to EZA. I just read that this is against Google TOS (ridiculous imo) because of duplicate content. How strict is Google?

Can I get my site(s) deindexed if I submit blog posts to EZA? I mean the EZA articles will link to my sites, hence Google should know that I am the author! Every person could submit it to EZA, even my competitors.

Let's say I have 500 blog posts and I submit 1 to EZA (without changing it) will my PR2 site possibly get deindexed?

More than likely it is just the normal thing that happens to a new site. Most of mine seem to disappear around the first or second week and then they come back a few days (or a week or so) later.

Are you sure that you site has been deindexed and hasn't just fallen down the rankings? If it's a "little site" that just been published with a non-aged domain and just one backlink I would be very surprised if it stays anywhere near the top of the search engine rankings even with just small amounts of competition. At the start Google plays around with your search engine ranking before it decides where you fit.

Try typing in your domain name and see if it comes up in the search engine results. If it's there you haven't been deindexed, you are just not ranking as high as you would like for your keyword.

Other thing which helps is registering your domain with Google Webmaster and Google Analytics. Have you done this?

Thanks,
