Hi all expert,
All the while, my website is OK and getting indexed.
Since yesterday, I found that my website is not indexed by google at all...
Undeniable, recently I have outsourced someone to build profile links (750 links in 21 days), is it the root cause?

If this is the root cause, do you have any solution to get my website indexed back? I've asked the fellow to stop building link now.

Please help...

    New sites often get to enjoy the google dance. That might be your problem, in which case your site will soon return. If not..

    - do you have excessive duplicate content?
    - have you added thousands of pages in the last few days?
    - have you got any bad practices, such as invisible text?

      I wouldnt worry about it yet..I do SEO on the side and I always see this happen to new sites.

      Here are a few tips..

      1. Make sure your content is unique
      2. Try to use different sources fo backlinks
      Don't over do it and vary your anchor text.
      3. Build links slow and steady and at a regular pace.
      4. A more advanced tip, yet highly effective is to build
      backlinks to your backlinks.
      5. Finally get those links indexed!

      Hope that helps a bit..

      Good Luck!

    The profile links is not the root of the cause. How old is your site? What is the general topic? Do you have google webmaster tools installed, and if so, does it give you any clues as to why your site would not be indexed?

    Did you check using site:www.yourdomain.com and nothing comes up to determine that you are not indexed?

    there is nothing to be concerned about... yet. this could be a technical problem on your end and these things (google crawling) are not predictable. they are secretive for a reason.

    I would recommend posting your problem on their help forum. (sorry dont have the link on me atm). someone will surely help you troubleshoot and identify if its a technical problem

      I feel your pain. My site is a little over a year old and Google has still only indexed FOUR - yes, four of my 69 pages.

      I've been through everything, every detail from simple html coding issues through duplicate content; I followed all of their suggestions one at a time, ran the site through a couple of diagnostic tools and repaired like two minor issues and I've resubmitted my site map each time I've added a new content page.

      To date, I still only have FOUR pages indexed. And of those four, one is a page that no one sees unless they contact me because it's a redirect thank you page. The second page that's indexed is my freaking css style page! It's really frustrating.

      When I do a site:url I get 186 results - all but those four are from my blog. That's the only way I've been able to get anything indexed on Google is to blog about it. Unbelievable. So whenever I do a new content page, I post a blog about it with a link back to the original article. I'm now starting to see referral traffic coming in from my blog so at least I'm getting found through that.

      I finally broke down and submitted a reconsideration request to Google to index my site but that could take months.

      I wish I had an answer for you, other than installing WP to your domain and blogging about your site. But I just wanted to let you know that I know what you're feeling.

    It is a worry when Google is a source of business. When I started I build up my pet sitting business with 3 web sites, dog walking, pet sitting and cat sitting. Two reasons, more targeted business and for risk management, so if I got hit for any reason I would have the other two.

    My understanding on the link building with a new site, is that it Google dance will happen. Generally advice suggests that you should carry on with a solid link building, start / stop / start is probably the worst thing you can do.

    Hope it sorts its self out.

      Hi,
      It means that I should ask the service provider to continue building links, although my website is banned at the moment?

    You may consider a reconsideration request through Google Webmaster Tools. But make sure you're not violating any of the terms first. You can start here... Requesting reconsideration of your site - Webmaster Tools Help

    I'd wait a while though because from my experience about 1 1/2 years ago, it wipes your slate clean and takes a few weeks for the crawlers to index everything and for it to start ranking again - kind of like your site is brand new again. If you have a lot of deep links, this could take a long time.

      Hi Allen,

      Thanks for your suggestion.
      While I am checking with google webmasters, most of the webpages are getting indexed (as usual).

      Just when I am searching my website at google search engine, it is returned with zero result, and I found my website is banned with some checker tools

      In Summary:
      1. My website is indexed (as usual)
      2. My website returned with 0 SERP It's banned...

      From your suggestion, it means that I still need to wait before submitting the request?

        According to your post, you have verified already that your site is banned.

        If this is the case, then you shouldn't wait. You should remove whatever it is that caused the ban and then submit a reconsideration request. You will be promted for a comment to Google - make sure you kiss their ass and let them know that it was a mistake and you are always striving to meet their guidelines, etc... kiss, kiss, kiss

        But I'm still not sure how you've determined for sure that it is banned.

          Hi Allen,

          I logged in to my webmaster tool, I can see most of my website can still be indexed as usual.

          However, when I am typing "site:{mydomain}", it returns to zero result...
          You can try www{dot}financialadvice2u{dot}com

          It just happened yesterday...
          I have asked the service provider to stop the link building campaign, however I could not remove the links that the service provider has built for me...

          I will take your advice to "kiss" them

  • It's gone when I do a site: in google. Yahoo still has it, but when I checked your backlinks you have links from places like Glow Sticks and Xbox sites.

      I've always thought about using link building services, but I do know
      it's not always a good idea. Especially if those backlinks come from
      places that Google already know are produced by a paid service or
      backlinks that are completely irrelevant to the website being linked
      to. Irrelevant backlinks are not necessarily a bad thing, it's that
      they may be worthless as far as a SEO standpoint and Google may
      give you no weight at all for them. And because the backlink is
      coming from a source that is irrelevant to your pages, your CTR will
      lack in interested viewers that will be reluctant to open their wallet.

      You don't need many backlinks to rank well in Google's SERP. Just
      make sure each backlink is relevant to the topic of your site and your
      work will be rewarded much more than a link coming from some-
      where that has no relevancy. I would rather have 10 good quality
      backlinks with good PR and relevancy than 50 links from unrelated
      sites any day. You also have to make sure each backlink varies and
      not having the same anchor text. Then make sure each link goes to
      the page that is most relevant to the anchor text... not just your
      index page. In the SERPS at Google, hardly any of them point at my
      home page.

      If you do not want to do the heavy lifting of getting relevant back
      links yourself, find a service who will custom produce relevant back
      links from sources that fit your niche.
