Site in google but rank deleted

[Mohammed]

Hi,

My site in the sj server and all the other servers is no.3 for <keywords>.

yesterday it was no.3 for <keywords> on google.com but for some reason today its not on google. Its still top ten for some other keywords but i was wondering what happened to the keyword of <keywords>. Its disappeared from the listing of <keywords> (its not even on the top 100).

Please can you help

Nothing to worry about. It looks like the dance is happening.

Explain this then, during the entire update on sj, 2, 3 my site was well indexed and had made some very good climbs up through he SERPS. Then as the database started becoming visible on www, I was experiencing fluctuations in traffic almost hourly as I was beginning to experience the new SERPS and the relatively considerable gains I had made.

The all of a sudden and for no apparent reason the Google magic wand gets waved and "poof" my sites vanished from the SERPS in it entirety. I still have a PR but no sign of my site in any of the databases?

The moral of the story is, yes you should spread your risk by using as many different key phrases as possible, blah blah blah heard it all before concentrate on traffic not one or two keywords, but what do you do when your site just vanishes period for no apparent reason, apart from go hungry for a month. And before anyone says anything, yes it is a case of sour grapes.

I am in network marketing, and several people in my business have a website related to the same 'keyword'.
Up until a couple of weeks ago we were in position #1 - #4 on Google for that 'keyword' - the reason being simple. Although we had individual websites, we each did a lot of link exchanging with other websites around the net.

Now, for some reason our 'group website' has vanished, so too has 2 of the other sites. Only 1 is left, meaning a loss of £££ via signups.

However, the 'sub pages' i.e /subpage.htm etc are still listed in Google, if you go on a few pages.

While this in itself is useless for us (as nobody will search through 5 pages and find our site) I'm wondering what this all means?

What should we do? Hope that Google picks up on our sites next udate?

I'm a bit worried that we have been removed for good thats all.

stevoc,

hard to say, IMO extensive cross-linking is generally disliked by Google.

This might help: [webmasterworld.com...]

My first thought would be are they all linked up?

[stevoc]

Yeah they are Tigger .... do you think its a 'Google Punishment' or a permanent ban?

Difficult one to answer I know people in the past have succeeded in getting sites back in, I've never, I had a site banned from cross linking last year despite cleaning it up and dropping Google an email or two the site still sits there with a zero PR and hardly any G traffic.

So I rebuilt the site on another new domain it's now sitting at number 1 for my main keywords and with a PR5, all you can do is de-link it, then send G a email asking for them to look at the site, if it was me I'd dump the domains and start a fresh

[stevoc]

As it happens I do have a couple of other domains that already have some links pointing to them (I think ahead you see :) ) At the moment they are both on page 2 of google.

Would I be able to use the same design & content from the banned domain and FTP it to one of the 2?

How would you then make sure it has more chance of NOT being banned? I.e what sites should I not exchange links with etc

Would I get banned if lots of business sites linked to the main site even if I didnt reciprocate?

Looks very similar to this: [webmasterworld.com...]

In which case I'd hang on... part of the never ending saga.

[tigger]

yes, it could also have something to do with this pain of an update, maybe a good idea as Napoleon suggested to hold on
