Hi Rudy,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld.

There are a couple of possibilities for what might be happening. First, you want to go to your site and mouseover the Google toolbar. It should show one of the following:

  • A heathly bar with some amount of green in it
  • Solid grey (not ranked by Google)
  • Solid white (a ranking of "0/10")

    If you see grey, it probably means that for some reason Google missed your site in the last crawl. (Your server may have been down).

    If you see an all white toolbar, then you may be looking at a case where a penalty was assigned.

    Remember that your backlinks won't always show. Google traditionally shows only half, and they may not be seen at all if they have a PR of 3 or less.

    So, the first place is to go back and look at the toolbar for your main page and some interior pages.

    Then, if you have questions after that point, ask them here, and someone should be able to help. :)

    Best wishes,

    mcg
