Once Indexed And Now Only Url Appearing

Question about my new site

I have a new site - [snip]. It was indexed by Google on 29, June. To try to see the rankings of different phrases all including "[snip]", I wrote a line composing those phrases one by one and add it at the begining and the end of the body content text. After a few days I found the main page was not indexed any more, only Url Appearing. I have around seven back links. Has my site been punished by Google because of the repeating of "[snip]"? Or is it because the lack of back links? How can I tell whether I am punished or not?

Thank you in advance!

Ethan

You can't. But it is certainly possible that you have triggered a filter by repeating a keyword too much.

I am facing a similar problem. Last month I had 30+ pages listed in the google, today I have only 5 pages listed though I have not made any change. My site is only two months old and has just two back links. Anybody have a clue what might have happened?

Try searching for site:webmasterworld.com sandbox on Google.

I'm not sure you'll find answers but you'll discover that you're not alone.

Kaled is right. You've been sandboxed. Not only sanboxed but being identified as indulging in unnatural linking to boost your site's ranking. Try to follow a health linkig pattern for your site and go slow. You should recover in 2-3 months.
