Anyhow....to make a long story short.....
The site is still down, and I'm thinking it will be another day or two before it is up. It's been down over a week already.
My questions:
She had a PR5, and lots of links:
Will this effect her PR?
Is there any hope of being included in this index? (did the deepcrawl start yet?)
....and finally could I incur any other penalties
besides being out of the index for the month due to stupidity?
One of the few clients that I have who are not hosted on our servers and whom I do not manage their domain, accidentally had their domain expire. The email address with NSI was not valid and the technical contact never forwarded the renewal to the client.
From 2003-01-01 through 2003-01-06 the site was down. Prior to that we had PR6/PR5 throughout. We are now sitting with a grayed out toolbar after this last update.
Google shows no backlinks. Traffic dropped by almost 30% and we slid to page two for our most competitive terms. What's funny is some of the pages still show in the SERPs for secondary terms. The primaries took a hit, moved from page one to page two, but the site still appears in the SERPs.
We are now patiently waiting for the February/March update in hopes of gaining what we previously had.
If the site is down during Google's main crawl, I would expect you will see gray toolbar at the end of this month when they perform an update. Even though the clients site was back online as of 2003-01-06, Googlebot did not crawl and pick the site up again, bummer!
