Page Rank but zero results. Is my Site Banned In Google?

[benallos]

When I search my domain in google like for example widget.com, it says "Sorry, no information is available for the URL widget.com" But when i access the site there is still page rank in it in all the pages. What had happened? Can someone explain it to me cause i'm confused.

I have something similiar...

A site I have was banned about 8 months ago - lost PR and every page from google.

In the last 2 days the homepage has got its pr6 back (no subpages yet) - but still nothing in the index of google..

anyone else had this happen? does this look like my site is going to be reincluded in google?

[benallos]

Maybe and maybe not but you it's PR back. But we don't know about if google will really include us.

I've heard the same from other people who haven't posted -- previouisly banned pages/sites now showing PR but still not showing in the SERPs. My current take -- don't believe the toolbar. Read some tea leaves instead.

[katheesue]

Same thing here.

Several sites went from PR0 to PR5 on the main page but still not listed in Google results.

should we not just rename the toolbar - foolbar

"should we not just rename the toolbar - foolbar"

Yeah .. that is the right term. Fooling people around with that toolbar thing. :)

[stuartc1]

I'd trade the green on the toolbar for reinclusion anyday!

Looking at my stats, I have 3 referals from google images this month.... it is a start I guess :)

have you had any referals from google or google images benallos?

[benallos]

Today looking at my stats is 163 referrals from google

For those that have had PR return but no pages in the index.

Do you get anything with a cache:www.domain.com search in Google?

[moftary]

Same here. My site was banned 8 months ago and now I got my green PR back and also IBLs via the link command.

site.com -> sorry, bluh bluh
sitename -> many results but nothing from site.com
traffic -> no referrals from google
cache -> has been always having a cache even during the ban
gbot activity -> very low

[stuartc1]

Regarding the cache command - Yes I do and its recent.

site: link: and all other command come up with nothing thought.

What does it mean when it had the cache?

[Dayo_UK]

Hmmmz - I wonder if these sites were banned or just had very severe crawling issues.

[moftary]

Mine was banned. Actually I havent changed any of its contents after the ban, so I think if gbots ever spidered it again totally it will be banned again for the very same old reason(s).

[doc_z]

I have seen the same thing: a page which is banned is showing PageRank as well as backlinks. However, the page (site) is still banned.

Several years ago, Google was showing PageRank even for pages which are not in the index. For example, at this time a domain (i.e. the corresponding page) which didn't exist was showing PageRank as well as backlinks. However, they changed this behaviour (about two years ago). From this time non-existing pages couldn't get PageRank. It seems that they now simply switch back to the old system for PageRank calculation.

[goneinthesun]

for all the sites that was banned or having a pr0.

This is a good sign right?

I mean can't get any worst than what it was before.

[benallos]

My Site info. I don't know if google will ban my site or not. It just happen.

site.com -> Sorry, no information is available for the URL site.com
"site.com" -> Many results and mostly coming form site.com
traffic -> Many referrals from google
Googlebot-Image/1.0 -> Very High
google.com/bot.html -> Very low (today only 1 hit)

Now another observation i have is when I type site.com//index.html or site.com/index.shtml in google search engine there is a result. And no result if site.com only. Why is that. Can't understand what is happening. Is my site coming to an end to be banned or what.

I am hoping someone wil have some news on this thread.
