Homepage Deindexed?

Hey guys,

I run a few Clickbank products and just a few days ago I went to check my analytics and noticed that my search engine traffic dropped off to zero for a few of them. I investigated a bit and noticed that for two of my sites, the index page (sales page) has been dexindexed but the rest of the pages still remain. This is killing me because I've spent months promoting, building links, writing articles, etc for these pages. I had gotten them to page 1 for several of my targeted keywords and was getting consistent traffic from it.

Now, as of two days ago, the index pages are completely out of the SERPs. I checked webmaster tools, there are no crawl errors, no notifications from Google, nothing. I pinged, resubmitted my sitemaps, etc but no luck. Each sitemap shows all but the homepage as indexed. What the hell is going on? Is it just because they are sale pages? Does G not like sales pages?

If anyone could help me figure out what I did wrong, or more importantly, how I can fix it I would be so thankful. This was a major source of income for me.

Also, I noticed that for the second site (DS4I) there is an affiliate hoplink in the spot where my page used to be in the SERPs! Those are just 301 redirects, how could that happen? Damn you Google!

      Sorry, I'm not seeing my page come up for that search term. Different data server maybe?

      My page is 100% original I wrote it from scratch almost a year ago so that can't be it. I noticed that there are a lot of affiliate hoplinks indexed by Google that are just redirecting to the sale page. They really shouldn't be indexed at all since they are just redirects, but for some reason they are. Could that be an issue?

      Also, it's kind of odd that it happened to two of my sites on the same day.

        I am not saying you copied ... someone could have copied you but the search string I entered shows your site number two for it and 10 results of the same search string as the headline for other sites .

        Quit using 301's , start using sub-domain redirects ( 307 I think but they are those on here that know a lot more about such)

        As long as you maintain the domain, The redirect will not be indexed , it will still spider through to your site .

        I'm starting to think it does have something to do with incoming links but I can't figure out what. I haven't even done much in the past 2 months so its hard to say. One of the sites that got deindexed has less than 100 links too so that doesn't seem very likely.

        I'm starting to think that a manual reviewer just found my pages and deindexed them for whatever stupid reason they could think of. Unbelievable that they can do that.

    Incoming links have nothing to do with it.
    No one can be flagged for that.

    But the scuttlebut is that there are manual reviews going on.
    I think you hit the nail onthe head on the manual review
    Sorry about your problem
