I am the new webmaster of <snip> My site is listed in DMOZ and Google directory but has no page rank and no cache so it was never spidered. It also has been 4 months since listed in DMOZ so I know it has been listed long enough that it should have been spidered. I went through the whole site to make sure nothing could hurt my lsting and changed anything that possibly could but still pr0. The site also has many incomming links from sites with the same subject so I can't find any reason other then being banned for some reason. How can I check if the site is banned? If it is banned how can I fix the reason. Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the board, William.

While we don't do individual site reviews, there are things you can check. In your case it sounds suspiciously like there could have been a problem indexing your site, so check some basics first.

Is the HTML ok? Run the pages through a validator. Is navigation easily followed, or is it JS? One error in the syntax of a robots.txt file can cause a problem.

Don't assume the worst, check out the site with some of the tools here
