One of my websites, <snip> , was listed in Google up until about 3 months ago and even in the top 20 for the search term <snip> , but now searching for the url brings up no results so <snip> no longer appears to be listed and hasn't been for 3 months. Does anyone have any ideas why or how I can get it listed again?

I certainly haven't done anything wrong with this site, I've still not even promoted it.

Is there a way to contact Google about this?

Thanks,

Chris

Google displays various contact details on their website at [google.com...] The only problem is that in my experience you are highly unlikely to get anything other than a canned response.

I have tried contacting them several times over the last few weeks with no success. I managed to get a commitment from GoogleGuy (through this forum) to pass my problem on to his engineering department but this has also come to nothing. (My site has a similar problem to yours.) You could try contacting them but don't hold your breath :o(

Thanks. Somebody did give me an address to use and someone else also gave me this forum and info about GoogleGuy and that maybe he could help.

Have you tried the search site:www.yourdomain.com
(Also try without the www prefix.)

Does the site have any/many backlinks?

Is the site hosted by a cheap company that might have banned Googlebot?

Do you have the Google toolbar installed? If yes, does the site appear to be gray-barred (possibly banned, more likely, simply not indexed) or white-barred (zero PR). (If you are unfamiliar with the toolbar, I'm talking about the PageRank indicator.)

Kaled.

Yes, all variations

Does the site have any/many backlinks?<<<

Yes, including ones from PR5 pages and one from a PR6 page.

>>>Is the site hosted by a cheap company that might have banned Googlebot?<<<

No, and all my other sites on my same dedicated server are still listed fine.

Do you have the Google toolbar installed? If yes, does the site appear to be gray-barred (possibly banned, more likely, simply not indexed) or white-barred (zero PR). (If you are unfamiliar with the toolbar, I'm talking about the PageRank indicator.)

Yes, I have it installed. It's showing a PR4 and has been for months.

When you use site:www.yourdomain.com do the pages from your site display page titles, descriptions and cache information?
