If you are not aware of the thread that I started about one of my #5 Ranking sites with PR 2 being deindexed and sandboxed completely by Big G on 20th of March, 2012, I just want to let you know that I posted a thread here in warrior forum about the incident asking tips and suggestions from fellow warrior family but I don't know for what reason somebody deleted my post for no reason. As you can see, I don't have signature and I'm not promoting anything at all and I never promoted anything on the forum.

My site was getting decent amount of free organic traffic from Big G and I was getting few clicks on a daily basis to my adsense links but all of a sudden the very next day I found out that the site was completely gone out of the picture and when I checked with site:mysite it was completely deindexed.

After getting some tips from warriors on the thread, I signed up with the G's webmaster tool. Today I got the message from them that says "Dear site owner or webmaster of http://_______ (mysite),
We've detected that some of your site's pages may be using techniques that are outside Google's Webmaster Guidelines. If you have any questions about how to resolve this issue, please see our Webmaster Help Forum for support."

Going through the points they indicated in the statement, I came with 3 possible reasons:

1 Aggressive backlinks. I really did not build that many links by myself. When I asked the company which I outsourced the link building task, they said they haven't even started building links yet. I assume that they are telling me the truth.

2. I used exit pop up for social sharing asking people to share the content. There are many websites there which are still doing this technique for getting social exposure. And my point is my site is not exceptional and should not be.

3. I used content lock plugin for social sharing to get extra exposure. This is not really any illegal or black hat technique. It's like putting content for sale and the content will not be shared until somebody buys it similarly in my site's case, the content will not be unlocked until the visitor shares the content. But it does not mean that all the content for sale is deindexed or sandboxed.

I should also let you know that I used 3 adsense ads spots and which is also not against their terms. If it was the case, they would have banned my adsense account not deindexed my site.

Not being sure what to do and what's really the reason behind my site being completely taken out from the search engine, I got rid of all the plugins and even told the link building team not to build any link if they were even about to do so.

I would like to ask the warrior members what's the best possible steps to get my site back. How to let Big G know that I did not do any unethical deed in the site other than those above mentioned steps. How can reach to G and ask them what's the exact reason so that I can work and fix the problem.

If you want to check and find out about the site then it is Proton Cancer Treatment dot com

I would really appreciate your tips and suggestions.

Note:
For Moderators, please let me know what's wrong with this thread before deleting the thread so that I will not repeat the same mistake again. First of all, I'm not promoting anything. There is no link on the thread rather than telling about my site with my honest and pure intention of knowing what's wrong with the site so that I can work on it and improve.

    Man, I'm having bad thought about the whole seo thing, I want to stick to something though. I just think ultimately what all marketers need is a buyers list.

      I am not sure, but why are there links in the comments to your own site with anchor text that does not make sense?

      I am just asking because I do not know that much about this stuff but that looks odd to me.

        Sorry to say but personally I really HATE sites with Exit Popups and Content Locking so I seriously think you should seek the problem in those.

        I think Google shares my thoughts about that cause it doesn't make a pleasant user experience.

        PLUS what the warrior above me says.

        All this together, I find it no surprise you got deindexed.

        And on top of it, you make a site about "Cancer Treatment", you think that its funny too talk about such topic and then mess it up with all kind of commercial popups.

        Now I'm even HAPPY you got deindexed with your total crap.

          Yes you are right but it was not for commercial pop up it was just telling people to share the content to spread the word around

              It was a plugin sold on warrior forum by one of the good marketers with some reputation. It is not even really annoying pop up. Nevertheless, I learned my lesson, I will not try to use those unnecessary plugins and try to keep site simple. Thanks

    Don't make a popup to tell people to share the content. Model your site after some official site you've seen on the internet and remove annoyances. Then, submit a reconsideration request.
