I created a web site and optimized it with keywords etc. I was very pleased with the result. Using certain keywords I appeared on page 4 of Google.
Unfortunately what's happened since is, more content has been added to the homepage which has sent the keyword phrases rocketing through the roof (well over 50% anyway!). It didn't even cross my mind to check the keyword density as I merrily added more content.
Is there anyway to undo the damage?
Pretty sure I've been blacklisted, can't even find the web site when I search for the name of the organisation who I've done the web site for.
2. How long does a banned website (no PR) stay blacklisted?
I have a penalised site (some affiliate program now deleted) and wondering if its quicker to move the domain.
What about penalised sites?
Pretty sure I've been blacklisted, can't even find the web site when I search for the name of the organisation who I've done the web site for.
Does the site show up if you search for the URL, such as www.example.org, (no quotes around it)?
How long has the site been in Google's index?
Your problem might not be keyword density. It could be one of several other things.
It is easy to make a mistake in them and people do sometimes accidently ban searchengines from their site.
Does the site show up if you search for the URL, such as www.example.org, (no quotes around it)?
That is indeed the best way to check for a ban. If the site is banned (or never crawled before) it says "Sorry, no information is available for the URL www.example.com". I checked this on some large corporate sites that were in the news in the Netherlands because they were banned.
If it has been in the index less than a couple of months, it will be bouncing all over the place.
Google doeas what it wants when it wants. As you can see from the vast array of questions about your question there isnt really an answer.
In my view .. if you are persistant you will get some rewards. Content should be added to slowly not in large batches. If it gets removed from the index unless you are doing something very "wrong" in the eyes of the googlegods ... your site should return in time.

I have been penalised for a affiliate shop (used by other websites) and at the time I did not consider it spam. I removed the affiliate shop and and Google re-spidered me however I don’t know how long I will have to wait (75 to 90 days according to SEO people or 8 months in my experience). The dilemma is do I move the site to a new URL or wait? I think the best option is to wait.
I also sent in a re-inclusion request to Google – its unlikely it will have an effect but its worth a shot.
