Do this means what I am so scare of?
It's some kind of tracking url from an email management company. My guess is, someone clicked a link to your site from within an email and this is the url it produced. A lot of the variable in the url are there because the user is logged into their system. What were you worried about?

Anyway, regarding the above, it comes from Google...see google.trakken.... it also mention the words "postpone - skip" which I thought it could be the spider been told to ignore my website
My fair is because I dessapear of Google index a week ago and by seeing the above log I thought my suspect of being banned was funded
Nevertheless, I just received an email from Google confirming I been blocked from their index but does not say much more or give specific reasons or banning timescale
Yesterday reading my logs, I noticed that I received one click from google (real proper click from a user) which means that I somehow reappeared in google after a week not being there
The very next hit on my logs from yesterday is this very one that I just show yours and after that no more clicks from Google, despite the normal crawler keept spidering my website
And just now, as we speak I received an email from Google confirming that my site has been indeed blocked but they dont give any particular or concrete reasons
EDITTED
But the very least they could do is specify at least how long a ban mean to last.
Oh well, I suppose is time to start over from scratch

Probably easier than starting from scratch.
I ask them for consideration for re-index but you can see their reponse which basically says nothing at all other than what it says
What I cant understand is why has my site recovered its pr5 in the last couple of days and why yesterday I got a genuine click (1) from a sercher from Google where my site showed in page number 1 as a log shows (not the log above) and why googlebot keeps spidering my website
I did replay to Googles message (the one showed above) straight away - just 10 minutes ago and this very minute I receive this other email
On it they say that they will submit the website for possible re-inclusion
EDITTED
Ufffffff, I was not looking forward at all to star over

Dont think you should copy the contents of the email though, goes against TOS.
Will be very interested to see if you do get back in so quickly though.
Mack.
You mean that I should delete the post with these emails?
Dont worry that I will keep yours informed of when, if, I get re-indexed
Just the email excerpt. See TOS [webmasterworld.com] #9
But, I must say, Google acts swiftly if you mail them for removal of outdated pages and 404 error pages. They do reply stating how we can to help them get unwanted data thrown out of their database. i.e correct use of robots.txt and 301 redirection, meta redirection, etc.
But then, they have not reacted on the spam reporterd through their form. Google should take care of this too. It would make them more relevant as a search engine, reduce data redundancy and increase their goodwill proving to spammers that their days are gone.
