I woke up this morning prepared to write 1 article and submit to 100 directories, but a quick check made me realised that my site was unindexed by google.

A search on google wasn't any help.

I thought, well I just bought a backlink wso yesterday, i'll just use that to get back up. The website's server is down, so basically I have no backlinks now.

Fortunately, I checked my email and received an email from ezinearticles, they approved my article and now it's sitting on the first page of my category.

Sigh, I don't know if I should be happy or not

    If you have the choice, take happy!

    And if your site's not indexed by Google then that EZA article that just got published will help with that pretty quickly ;-)

      an indexed article is better than nothing. Have you done anything to get banned from Google? Are there any issues with crawling the site?

    Agreed... it's a question of if you WERE indexed or not.

    BTW - I've had pages that were indexed, dropped (with no changes at all) and then a few days later re-indexed. Just Google-funk.

    Now, if you're being edgy with the engines and you were in the index for a while, and now you're not, well, that may be a problem. You'll have to figure out what caused it as Traffic-Bug says and go from there.

    Either way - BE HAPPY. If you're article is published, you can always redirect it to another domain and enjoy the traffic!
