domain disappeared from google index

banned google pagerank zero disappeared

[nicco]

yesterday 20/09/2006 one of our domain started disappearing from some datacenters.
Current PR is zero for all pages (index PR was 4). In a few datacenters is still possible to make a site:domain.com with all the old thousands results but link:domain.com is zero everywhere, PR too.
Does it mean that the site is going to be banned from google?
In the sitemaps area google don't comunicate us anything. From there the site seems to be correctly indexed with all pages and all page rank assigned.
We can't figure out what is happening.

thank you tedster.
It seems to me so ubelievable that a large travel site, in google index from 1999, with thousands of pages indexed, could be banned from google.

However, what is the best way to request reinclusion? Can I simply resubmit my Google Site Map from the webmaster center or do I have to request a normal url inclusione request waiting months to see my pages and my pr back?

Its occasions like this it seems to me where you need to consult with a good reputable seo before panicking.
I don't think this is stressed enough on WW.
So if none of Tedsters references sink home with you,
instead of guessing, find a good seo.
There are seo's out there(or on here) that can give you far better and more educated information and guidance when they become familiar with your site.
Just doing a reinclusion request because you think your site has been banned is pointless.
Many of you who have some site problems and are not familiar with seo should actually try hiring one.

in google index from 1999

One of the things that has happened this year is that "everything changed" on Google. When they migrated to their new Big Daddy infrastructure, they began new crawling patterns and are apparently using lots of rewritten code. It doesn't always work the way we're used to. There appear to be some technical assumptions about website coding, urls and so on, that are a bit more demanding and precise than their legacy code was.

And from time to time (even right now) the site: operator has given odd results that do not always reflect what is showing in regular search. So it's important to give your site a technical health check-up - something like doing physical for your bodily health. Things that never seemed to be problematic in the past may now be causing trouble.

I'm not sure if this was an intentional change on Google's part, or if it was just one of those things. But one thing is for sure -- it's what we have now. The threads I linked to above will wade into some of the details.

Dear Cabbie,
why are you loosing time writing post like this?
I'm a SEO of a big travel site and you don't know enough of my site and my work for being able to judge. This way you offend the work of all my staff.
This thread has not been post to ask you an help without reading other posts (that I already read before), is an experience that could be useful to many other SEO.
Thanks again to Tedster for the reply and for all the useful work he do.

I would not resubmit now.
First think about what the problem could be. Is there anything suspicious with your site?

Nicco, its practically impossible for a thread like this to be of any use without having a url to work with.
