My site totally disappeared from Google, any ideas??

16 years ago

its strange one site is mentioned 166 times but your site is no where to be seen

the other 79 time same situtation

did you buy these as expired domain names

where you ever indexed at all

to many questions to ask to really get into this here in this forum

You definitely have a issue at first I thought it was only a ranking issue but you are not even indexed

oh forgot to add, if you knew why and could fix the issue you could ask to be included into the Google index again. Google has a whole process for this.

No. Both of these domains I purchased in April 08'.

Yes, I was indexed and indexed pretty well. My traffic has been steadily increasing for both sites very well in fact.

  unfortunately this is something that cannot be answered in a post other than many of us making educated guesses on what is going on
  
  it needs a depth look
  
  sometimes the only answer is start all over with new domains

You are having the same problem as others are having

I believe that Google is in the process of carrying a large cull of what they consider as sites providing low value content.

Make sure you are constantly giving your site backlinks, from solid sites in your niche. Contact the pages in your niche with high Google rankings and see if you can put your URL somewhere in their page.

Google wheels have turned recently and I too noticed that from original 9000+ results for my domain name, now i get only 3K+ results .. so definitely something has changed and lots of pages have been dropped...

Google is changing all the time I monitor this and have seen many changes especially what is working and not

All I can say is avoid the herd mentality

As it has been put by Google do what is natural and give the best visitor value and they are

now monitoring how the visitors reacts with webpages

Light bulb just went on!

Google Chrome what better way to monitor site activity, they had been leaking out this type of monitoring about visitor activity

holy smokes its here

I have a lot of sites banned recently as well, almost all were a particular server. It seems that a Google employee did a reverse lookup on the sites and decided to ban whichever site he saw fit.

I really wish I have an answer on how to counter this. But I am in such hot water myself and I feel that the best way to proceed is to do things cautiously and slowly. Once a site had been de-indexed, it is almost impossible to get it indexed again. I don't think it would be worthwhile applying for a reinclusion because these are obviously not high quality sites.

This sort of occurence had been reported in other forums as well. I am sure that Google is planning a massacre to rid its index of sites they don't like. I would suggest you check your other sites from time to time as well.

well look at it from another perspective

are you getting any traffic from other search engines yahoo - msn

I had one site that got decent traffic but it was all from MSN because Google de indexed it

not all is lost there is a bunch of people on other search engines that give lots of traffic

so how are you doing for those search engines and continue to give good value

  Thanks for everyone's input.
  
  Ed,
  
  Traffic from Yahoo & MSN is decent, certainly not compared to Google, but decent. I am doing Adwords as well and have landed in good graces with Google there. It's just that I was putting a lot of time and effort to getting these two money-makers more established and was experiencing some good success. I was reaching a point where Google organic searching was well over 1/2 my traffic, really disheartening...
  Oh well, back to the drawing board I guess.
  
  Thanks

  There might be 2 things that caused this.
  
  1. Duplicate content
  2. Link directory footprint
  
  The duplicate content is because of using BANS. I mean, that is a bans site right? How many golf sites do you think did bans users create up til this point? I'll tell you, thousands. It's only the oldest domains that survive.
  
  Duplicate content on a fresh domain is suicide.
  
  As for the link directory footprint. Link directories still work for google rankings. I don't care what anyone says, they work like gangbusters.
  The key is to make the directory appear to Google as if you are doing it manually!
  
  But I see you have linkmachine! And to top it off, it's even in a folder called linkmachine. By now Google has definitely caught up with all the various "duplicate files", identical folders as well as identical behaviour of the linkmachine script. They know that you are automatically inflating link juice. That might be the main reason you got kicked.
  
  Cheers,
  lavidaloca
  
  Thanks

  I only use Linkmachine on the one site. That doesn't explain why both of my sites (the other not having Linkmachine) would disappear.
  
  I tend to lean on the weeding out of the BANS site theory.
  
  Thanks

A similar thing happened to me a few weeks back. All my pages disappeared from the search engine listings except my home page. Some of the pages that disappeared had been listed for over 18 months and were doing well in the search results.

I was baffled and asked a few people, but came up with no answers, then 10 days later they all re-appeared and a lot of them have better positions now than they did to start with.

I'm still none the wiser why it happened, but I didn't lose my listing for my home page like you have.

Has the size of your niche grown? One of my keywords had about 450,000 competing sites before my pages disappeared, the morning I found they had gone the number of competing sites had grown to 2,020,000!! Where did all these new sites suddenly come from virtually overnight?

It may be better to sit tight and see what Google does next. Don't know if this is of any help to you.

  in most cases the rankings disappear but the deindexing is the issue
  
  weekly I see Google rearranging sites that ranked disappear completely and reappear at a later date many times with better ranking
  
  but if you look for indexing or even do the site command they show
  
  What is happening here they don't even exist in the index

Ok I thought it was just an anomaly with my sites. All of mine got deindexed and essentially it sucks ass. It is good to know this is the problem

There's a theory floating around, but it seems highly unlikely.

After ePN recently expired a bunch of affiliates, one particular user blamed the cuts on BANS. He posted that he was going to report all BANS sites to G as SPAM, going under the theory that Google will delist the site first, then examine them later.

Since his threat there have been a number of BANS users reporting their sites are being deindexed.

Seems highly unlikely to me that the two are connected but I'm throwing it out there as a remote possibility.

Here's a couple of threads on the ePN forums with more details.

I think you have to be signed in or registered to read them.

I had a lot of sites de indexed recently as well. What i noticed was that 48 hours after the Google deindexing the MSN and Yahoo traffic picked way up so the site will probably get some traffic just not as much.

Google is definitely cracking down on sites similar to BANs sites that have little to no content. They are freeing up duplicate content from their servers as the RSS feeds ad little to no value without additional content. Just my take on the situation.

This is kind of scary to me as i don't really know if what is and what is not a good and valuable site. The contents that put on my website are all research and i wrote them originally and try and rewrite some of them for Ezinearticles submission.

I hope my site will stay put and won't be de indexed.

Thanks for the info guys

Well I had a ton of useful information on some of my sites, but I guess big G was not happy about that and hit all of them. I asked for a re inclusion, but I highly doubt it. I'm just gonna start over and come bigger and better.

BANS sites are dropping like flies because Google has written them off as thin affiliate sites. Their algorithm has been set to look for several identifying characteristics of BANS sites and deindexes matching sites automatically.

The most reliable way have one not get deindexed is to not have BANS on the index page but to have it in an internal folder like 'store' and have either a blog or an article mini-site up front.

as google has now started to rank websites depending upon user behaviours through toolbar and google chrome thus google is deindexing many websites who are not in state of getting visitors any how.......
