I just had several pages on a clients site get deindexed and grey barred. I have checked everything and there should be no problem with anything. The only thing all the pages have in common is they are all built on the same format. All are html pages and share one css file., Each has seperate distinct meta descriptions and keywords. All have different content in H1 tags.
Basically they all display jpegs and information for the products. Green widgets, red widgets. But the content and details are vastly different for each page. I removed identical footers on each page months ago to avoid that penalty.
Is this a big daddy hiccup or is this some kind of penalty. All of these pages have disappeared from google and grey barred pr. Happened night before last.
Anyone else have an experience with this? This is not an affiliate site. Big ticket items. Dealership. Site for a brick and mortar business. We now have no product pages listed in google. And we had just started to come out of the sandbox.
