My domain name has recently disappeared from SERP. It's a .com It's actually a parked domain for .net one. But most people know it by .com I can't find any results for www.domain.com but i can find www.domain.com/directory/ Also pages that I don't link to or have any of my affiliates site link to are replacing where the .com domain use to be in SERP. So basically it's gone.
Like usually www.example.com is #3 on the SERP. But now http://sub.example.net/ is which is weird. It's #3 among 852,000 but i never linked or provided a link to that subdomain for .net
Did my domain get banned from google serp? Stuff like link:example.com site:domain returns results though...
It happened after my website went down for two days because of DOS. So i took down the entire site and redirected using html meta tags set to 5 seconds to another website. I did this for two days until i got the site back up.
Another thing is according to webmaster tools, google found like 2000, 404 errors. The errors were because it was adding "&archive=" at the end of all the url's i have. Is this because of a bad mod_rewrite? But if you're a human and you go the page, it directs perfectly to the content. So why did google add "&archive=" to end of my links?

If i look at it, this might be the problem "RewriteRule ^archives(/?)+$ ?do=archives [QSA,L]" Thank you and help and advice is greatly appreciated.

[edit reason] switch to example.com - it can never be owned [/edit]
Both domains always worked since they mirror each other. But the .com one was the most well known one. Not sure why but the sub.example.net replaces all the serps for example.com. Well not all, just a few keywords.
It's like sub.example.net is now the main root directory for the example.com since it disappear. Sub.example.net is only for file storage though, like images and data. No stuff to read only stuff to store. I'm not sure why it suddenly replace example.com since it shouldn't have any back links.
