Relatively new site completely delisted from Google and AOL. It is still listed in Bing and Yahoo. The URL is couponsforpizzahut.net yes I searched for it using the colon. Anybody have any idea why it was delisted and if it might be only temporary? There were 2xPR6 4xPR5 and 1xPR4 links from homepage where actual PR is the other day and they were pinged the same day. There is a regular SEO campaign going on as well.

    • A bunch of possibilities here.

      1) Deep in the bowels of the GooglePlex, a Search Quality Engineering meeting ran late. They decided to order some pizza's from Pizza Hut. Trying to save some money, they Googled "coupons for pizza hut" and found a site titled "This site provides coupons for Pizza Hut. Our #1 priority is Pizza Hut coupons." yet had no actual Pizza Hut coupons. In a fit of anger at having to pay full price for pizza, they removed your site from the index.

      Seriously though:

      2) Someone at Google noticed your post about building the site for you and didn't like your linking strategy. Easy Website Design (Wordpress) and SEO - ScriptLance Programming Project

      3) A Google Search Quality Engineer came across a link farm domain and proceeded to manually review every site there. They came to the conclusion that your site added no value to their search results for the keywords you ranked for and manually removed you.

      4) Someone at Pizza Hut noticed and complained to Google about your site.

      5) You created too many poor quality links with an unnatural link profile too quickly to a brand new site with very little content and have become victim to the legendary Google Sandbox effect.

      My only advice? Add more content to the site. Put some more pages with Pizza Hut menus and nutritional information, maybe put the Weight Watchers point values on there or something useful. Not to be a jerk, but actually put some Pizza Hut coupons on there!

      Then use the Google form for reconsideration of your site. Use the same excuse that everyone tries to use, that you hired someone to do SEO work who then proceeded without your knowledge to do lots of bad linking. Dunno if it will work.
  • probably a mix of

    * trade mark violations
    * missing terms/privacy
    * missing the essential thing...like..i actually dont SEE any coupons for pizza hut on your site. The site is "semi" under construction, doesnt provide what it promises to the visitor. Where are the coupons?
    * not enough content
    * Google employee had a bad day.

    Yes, recently they are getting TOUGH
  • the sad thing is that the other niche sites on the front page are just as bad if not worse.
