The timing sounds like it was exactly coordinated, right? If so, then reason most likely IS the fact that your site wasn't available. Granted, that was pretty fast, but I'm pretty sure you'll be back in another day or two. I'f had the experience before and that is how it went.

| Last year also G penalized my one article site, even after few reconsideration requests there is no change. This all may be because we are small budget webmasters and don't have all these privacy policy, guidelines etc etc as per Google rules..which are compulsion for an article site.

Well, that's a whole other discussion. But if your web host doesn't actually serve your pages, Google may take it out of the index until they can confirm that your pages are available again. Although they certainly do mess up, they prefer not to return search results that don't resolve. ------- Now about the "whole other discussion", even a one man operation can comply with many/most of those recommendations. I'll bet there is some other cause. You said "penalize". Does that mean you get no Google traffic, or you lost most of your Google traffic, or you lost some of your best rankings? Also, did it happen on just one date?

Penalize - i use it here for out of Google after 53K pages, now it is ZERO and i loose all traffic, rankings everything. I think only solution is to change the complete theme/concept and submit it for reconsideration.

| You don't need this to get listed on Google. 53000 article pages for small budget webmasters is a lot. Were all those articles original content?
