Website was down for 48 hours

Pages now missing in Google - how long until return?

Our site was unavailable for 48 hours, and disappointingly found that many of our deep links in google (which ranked fairly well), are now nowhere to be found. any experiences/thoughts as to how long it will take to return?

48 hours seems much too quick for url removal, in my experience. I would assume that the pages have gone missing are more likely due to another cause, and the timing was just coincidental.

Are the pages in question still returned on a site: command?

thanks for the tip; our site has about 3 levels of pages (1st level is index page and main navs, 2nd level is subcats, and 3rd is product-type pages); all the 3rd level pages are gone. 1st and 2nd level still the in the index, but ranking worse. yikes; seems like google is quick to penalize these days. hope its just as quick in re-finding and re-indexing.

If your site was down for 48 hours then you have a much more serious problem than temporary flucs with google. That is unacceptable and you need a new host. Or some kind of better plan.
