This morning it seems all my sites (20+) that are associated with my adsense account have been deindexed. They all still show Adsense on them, but when I do "site:url" in google they are not there anymore. All of them are WP blogs. All with original content and most have been up for like 8+ months. The account had been steadily increasing in earnings doing about $20-$25 a day. The last few days it had been doing about $40-$45. Do you guys think the sudden increase in earnings might have triggered it? Do you think having the same WP theme might also be a problem? What do you guys think happened here? What should I do now? Any ways to get them indexed again? Anyone else experience this before where a whole bunch of your sites are deindexed?

    did you get huge number of links real quick to your blog network ? I have seen sites that get de-indexed get back in the index after a couple of days.

      I have been building links gradually over time. The sites that were effected were the ones that made the big percentage of the income. The ones that I have started in the last few months are still indexed. Is Google doing some sort of shuffle with new rankings and that is why they are gone? Or is it a much bigger problem? The sites have PR and have aged over the last 8-9 months.

    did you not promote your site on the right niche that your site has or maybe you have done over promotions

      Hi mrtrance,

      The quality of your website traffic is paramount to success with AdSense. If you have seen a spike in traffic, it would be wise to investigate the source. The AdSense program will hold you responsible for managing and, if necessary, blocking inappropriate traffic.

      It usually follows that if your sites are de-indexed for cause, the will also be banned from AdSense in the near future. Use Google Webmaster Tools to determine if there is an issue and fix it right away.

      Hopefully, it's just a data refresh and they will pop back in a few days.

        Taking a second look it seems that the sites that were deindexed are only 6 of the 20+ that I have. These 6 are the ones that I had started back like 8-9 months ago about the same time. Some have PR and others don't. Any of the new sites that I have started in the past 3-4 months were not affected. And these 6 account for about 95%+ of my daily income. I wonder if it's just a temporary thing since I've been hearing of Google update of PR, links, etc. going on right now. Any ideas??

            Yes, they are all on one hosting account (I use one account for all my sites), but they do not link to each other. Each is on a different niche as well. These sites are not in the very competitive niches as well. Everything had been going well for these sites up to like late last night (getting traffic from Google). When I checked statcounter this morning I noticed an extreme drop in traffic for these sites. That's when I noticed that the sites had been deindexed.
