Add us to the list of thousands who suddenly vanished from Google- in fact we wrote Google four times inquiring as to the removal of our index page (homepage) at www.americanacouture.com - there is no information on our domain now, and [americanacouture.com...] was PR6 and is now graybar.
I have asked Google why our homepage is missing, and why our pages are suddenly buried, they claim it is routine, no manual remove, no competitor pull - nothing suspiscious.
I had an original report of unauthorized deletion during the loophole on their autoremoval system - but nothing since.
We have no idea how long it will take to get back to where we were, how this happened, or when we will index into the system again - or if there is a problem with our page - we can not get a straight answer from the Google team.
Now, here's the onstacle: We have a RTML programmed Yahoo Shopping store. Yahoo hosts our domain - we were originally right at the top with an Americana Couture search (www.americanacouture.com) - now we get garbage galore from a kook competitor that rampaged us in Google groups and online. This happened right during the missing index page incident for Microsoft and Adobe, amidst many claims that she would not rest until she had proclaimed to the world how much she hated us. Suddenly, poof - we are gone from Google.
This obviously is not good for biz - and we apparently do not have a robots.txt file to work with on Yahoo Store - nor do we have a way to moniter when googlebot visits.
Any suggestions would be tremendously appreciated.
