I owe google for an old adwords account

and have now lost all page ranking

[lloydforth]

I have just lost all normal page ranking from within google even to the extent that when i search for my url the link it has is wrong.

I used to use adwords until the cost per lead became too expensive, I have owed google for a small amount of money for 5 or so months now. What i would like to know is has google removed my url because of the small amount of money i owe?

they are running a business.
If you owed me money and hadn't paid, i would try to recover it. If i didn't succeed, and i was them, i'd take you out of the index, no questions.

Pay up and see if that helps. if its a small amount why havn't you paid anyway?

Maybe they aren't connected.

Can you give us more details re the link you are seeing. It might be a www vs non-www problem.

" It might be a www vs non-www problem. "

Yep i think it is .....as when i hover over the link it has the www. part missing. Is this a known issue? if so whats the way around it?

Many Thanks

A .htaccess file needs to be set up redirecting all non-WWW urls to www.yourdomain.com (or visa versa).

This happens when someone links to your site without the www. and google picks it up and thinks you have two sites with same content and then you get a supplemental results penalty.

Check the Apache thread for instructions on setting up a a 301 redirect in an .htaccess file. However you will need to be on an Apache server.
