I got a site ranked on the 1st place of google for around 1 month. Today, my site totally disappeared from google, i'm not talking about SERPS, im talking about site:domain.com. The strange thing is that, google, bing. yahoo all together deindexed my site. Anyone experienced this? Appreciated your opinion.

Plus, i just found AOL and search.com also deindexed my site. Was my site hacked or what?

    If all 3 of them "deindexed" you at the same time, it's not algorithmic. Either your hosting was down for an entire week straight, or you mistyped your own URL when looking for the site or something. The chances of you getting deindexed from all 3 simultaneously for something that you've done promotion wise, or anything related to off page is ... like less than .00000000000001%.

      Thanks for ur opinion, I'm sure i typed the exact site:domain.com. And i hosted my sites at hostgator. I check my sites every day, im sure that are up, maybe down for a few hours while i was sleep., but down for a few hours shouldn't deindex my site.

      Plus, i just found AOL also deindexed my site

      Nothing blackhat, and robots.txt was fine which has confirmed by hostgator.

        if its anything like whats in your sig then you were not indexed - you have a problem with your site. If for any reason your site cannot be crawled for long enough it will drop out of the index and look just like a deindex,

    Yes, i know the problem of my sig. But my main money site should be fine with this. My money site is up all the time, and i check it everyday.
    I know there might be something wrong which caused all engines blocked. If anyone has experienced this, please kindly share, i'd pay for $100 for telling exactly what caused the issue.
    Thank you

    I understand that you don't want to share your site, but it's kind of hard to examine it if we don't know the URL. Look for "noindex" in the source code's meta tags; you don't want to see that. It could be a plugin that's blocking things (I've seen a plugin redirect googlebot to the plugin owner's site).

    Run your site through this googlebot spoofer; maybe it will give you some ideas:

    View a Web Page as 'Googlebot'

    Also, do you have Google Webmaster Tools? If so, do a "Fetch as Googlebot."

    P.S. The robots meta tag is different from robots.txt. Check your source code for something that looks like this near the top:

    Hi Suzanne
    Thanks for the kind help.
    I followed your instructions, googwe wm fetches "success"; smart-it-consulting.com loads the exact page. There's no "noindex" tag on my homepage.

    I've also contacted hostgataor, they checked .hthaccess and robots.txt, didn't find any problem.

    If google blacklisted my site, i might eat the result. The fact is that all search engine now blocked my site. ..

      Keep looking. If it's not in the robots.txt and not in the source, there has to be another reason.

    Had you checked your Google or Bing webmaster account? There should be some notification about if anything was wrong with your site.

    What is the site URL? Need this to see if we can see the issue?

      Having same issue! Did you figure out how to fix? I used the first tool mentioned and got a 301.

      I'm thinking its an issue with the theme I installed as they have options over indexing.

    Check your backlinks. If they are created on bad neighborhood, your site is bound to be penalized. I have seen some examples like this back in September. Just check out the backlinks if you have created any.
