Re: My site seems to be deindexed from Google...what do I do?

So does putting the site on a new domain work or not?

Best Way to "Index" Backlinks?

Say you get some backlinks to your site. How do you let Google know to check out these pages so they can index those backlinks? Is there a "ping tool" to notify Google?
