Deindexed - Is that it?

Hi

To say I'm gutted is an understatement! I 'was' having my best month ever as an Amazon affiliate and Adsense advetiser with this particular site which is about 2 years old. I was sitting on page 1 for at least 4 kw.

Yesterday I checked my stats and I was nowhere.... so I did the site:mysite.com check to see if I was still in the index but dancing... but it lists nothing!

So my question is can I do anything to get back in the index or is that it? I know when I've been dancing I have built quality links and it has come back stronger but this time I'm guessing its different?

I have checked webmaster tools and it shows no issues so have asked for a reconsideration request.. is that just wishful thinking? Should I just forget, dust down and move on? Really gutted

    I'd say you're finished, no doubt. Welcome to the new reality. Google has been deindexing entire domains for months. The number of PR N/A pages is growing and so are entire site bans.

    It sucks, but these are the risks.

      Where did I say I have 1 site?

      I'm asking a question about one of my sites that I have had deindexed. Its the first time this has happened to me so wanted to know if it is worth trying to rescue the situation. One of my better sites that was on course for $500+ this month, so yes of course its a pain.

      As for the business little man... I have 128 people report to me and this Is something that I enjoy doing in my spare time. Guess you don't understand about that sort of stuff at school (guessing thats where you reside due to your pathetic response).

      So next time you want to embarrass yourself with he world's most ridiculous response... think before you write.

      So do yourself a favour and do one!

        Yep...just move on. Google IMHO completely ignores reconsideration requests unless you are famous, have a recognizable brand, or can kick up a big public hubbub in some way...

        I feel your pain...it sucks to do nothing wrong and arbitrarily get deindexed out of the blue...good thing google "does no evil"!

          For sure this is correct. If you can find a public pulpit and complain, maybe you could get restored.

          But would you really trust a domain that has already been banned to rank well again? I can't see it happening. It's better to start again with freshness. Emphasize higher-quality content and give it another shot. At least you still have your health.

        you were the one who yourself said you were GUTTED
        in your original post. Why if you have many sites and this is only one of them, would this make you GUTTED? Then. To me Gutted means pretty much DONE

        Your title also stated IS THAT IT? (my translation of that was, is that the end of my Webmaster empire)

        Thats why I responded the way I did. If this is but one of your MANY sites, should not affect you as much as your post implied.

        The way you made it sound is like one of these SHOULD I QUIT, IS THERE ANY HOPE? type of posts.

        sorry you took offense, did not mean to imply you were clueless

        If it were me, I would be pissed off also.

    Continue backlinking it from a variety of different sources and methods all using white-hat techniques.

    Be persistent with this, it will come back up eventually but it may take a while.

    I lot of people scrap the site and start again, it's an unfortunate circumstance.

    OP, you do realize you have dead sites/links in your forum sig., right?

    Is that golf site the site your having problems with in the SERPs?

    Looks like it's possible that it's not Googles fault, it looks like a host problem.

    If Google tries to crawl your links & finds the site down, goodbye SERP rankings...

      Hi thanks for all the advice guys.

      Its not the golf site... I've taken that offline to change the format.

      I'm guessing I need to move on. One more question, I've purchased a domain yesterday that would be a great replacement albeit it is a .net not a .com. Is there anyway I can use any of the original articles on the old site or would that cause harm to the new site? The same goes for the link juice from the old site can I redirect and how, or would that cause harm too?

      Thanks in advance.

    And a deindexed domain can be brought back into the SERPs once you make it worthwhile being there...

    Please ignore these guys who tell you give up.

    Wait on the reply from the reconsideration request. If it's a manual spam action, it will not take much work to get it re-listed. Been through that many times now.

    Also, Make sure you aren't no-indexing your whole site by mistake.

      Thanks for the positive words its appreciated. Will google tell me what is wrong by email then?

      In your experience before what course of action did you take to get your sites reindexed? Is there anything I need to check first?

    was all of your site content fresh? Did you create content yourself, or did you use only affiliate data feeds? If you only used affiliate data feeds, that could be a contributing factor to your site being delisted from Google search results.

      Hi... I have pulled in a data feed from amazon, but this is accompanied by 5 fresh written articles on the site.

        my guess is that because you are potentially publishing too much Amazon content on your site and probably had very little original content, which that was probably the reason why your site got delisted. It happened to me before back in 2007…

    The real question, what kind of linkbuilding were you doing that got you de-indexed?

    Have you rechecked to make sure you are still deindexed?

    You don't get de-indexed because of backlinks. It's your onsite - fix that and the site should get indexed again. Post the site here, nothing bad will happen to it and you'll receive more/better advice.

    The most common cause of deindexing that I've seen is for selling 'paid links' AKA known as advertising. Google is very touchy about you selling your own text links when they would rather do it.

    However, keyword stuffing and other various on-page tactics can take you down too.
