Hi

I have believe that I may have a serious problem with my web site. My web site has not been updated for the past couple weeks with Google, at first thought I believed that maybe I have been penalised, however my site still maintains its page rank which is not normal with google penalising sites.

I have recently used the google removal tool on “a different web site of mine” and they both seem to be working in the same way, googlebot crawls the site yet doesn’t update it and aslo there is no cache for the page requested.

My concern is that someone possibly has entered my web site and used the removal tool on my web site without my knowledge nor my consent.

Anyone got any ideas on what i can do, i have contacted google and i awaiting a reply.

Noone can remove your page with URL Console unless it either returns 404 or is in robots.txt or has noindex meta tag.

exactly what i am saying, if some had gained unauthorised access to my web site then they in turn would be able to do this.
If your site is penalised by goole am i not correct in saying that your page rank would go to zero? Mine has stayed at 4!
What is also very strange is that some pages are being updated almost daily, the main ones are not! and have no cache in google! yet back links and link too`s are still valid.
I have used the google removal tool on another of my web sites which is my test site and i wanted to remove out of date pages.
Almost exactly the same has happend, remained PR googlebot visits the site daily, only updates certain pages!
This may well conicidence, but it id odd!
