4 Shops dropped completly

...just added some outgoing links

[Tobias]

hello everybody,

we own a couple of web shops selling different widgets (all different urls and different products).
Last week we added outgoing links to the index page linking to our manufacturers and partners - just 4 to 8 links completly on topic. On friday last weeks, 4 of our shops completly dropped out of google. Even a search for site:www.domain.de brings no result. complety vanished... .

Does anybody have a suggestion or idea why this happened (one of our urls is in my profile)?

I read about linking to "bad neigborhoods" and doublechecked our outgoing links. they are all fine.

Could it be we have been penalized? what for? I would like to mail a reinclusion request to google but before that I have to know what the "problem" is...

Another possiblity is a 301 we changed recently:
the shop was is a folder "shop" (www.domain.de/shop/). We changed that to www.domain.de/widget/ and set up a 301 redirect on www.domain.de

Thanks for suggestions and any help,

Tobias

Did you drop out or are you still in the index?
