How to Find If Your URL Has Been Banned by Google?

[beary]

Is there any way to find out if your url has been banned from google?

My website have listed by google for three months. Many keywords have good rank. Today I found when I type the url in google, it appears:

"Sorry, no information is available for the URL www.example.com

Find web pages that contain the term "www.example.com""

I can find all the pages of my web by "contain the term".The rank of the keywords is still exist. I don't know why and how I can do. Please give me some advice.

Thanks again for your help it is much appreciated.

beary, when a site is banned it's removed from the index or not allowed in at all. Are you seeing only pages that mention the name or URL of your site, and are no pages from your site in the index at all? Is your site showing any Page Rank at all, and how long has it been up?

I found this situation yesterday, and sometiome it appeared, sometiom diappeared. I am very nervous.

The pagerank of my web is 4. Google contains 131 pages of the site. The URL, description and the title are all exist. Important, the rank of keywords in google is not change, and some keywords' rank raised.

I don't understand all. Is this portent that my web is banned by google?

Usually,
Sorry, no information is available for the URL www.example.com

If the URL is valid, try visiting that web page by clicking on the following link: www.example.com
Find web pages that contain the term "www.example.com "

Now,
"Sorry, no information is available for the URL www.example.com

Find web pages that contain the term "www.example.com""

Find some text that appears on most of the pages on your site that is really unique and do a search for it. Use site:example.com and see what pages it has indexed.

If I use site:example.com to search, it appears only the url, no title or description. By "contain the term" I can see all of the pages.

Welcome to WW, Beary.

It doesn't sound like you've been booted or banned, it's just Google being Google. Your site is relatively new and is likely going through a bit of flux.

Don't panic. Just keep adding content, and work at getting some more quality backlinks. Odds are that everything will back to normal in a few days.

My guess without knowing your domain,is that you have been banned.:(
Sorry.

I didn't use ways such as link farms, hidden text or links. There are 131 pages indexed in Google and my pagerank is four. This is a strange appearance.

I found it recovered two hours ago, now it disappeared.

I pray all will be well.

One would think that if the site had been banned that he wouldn't be showing up in the serps. Maybe G just temporarily lost his index/default page.

Beary, try www.yoursite.com/specific_page.htm and see if it shows up.

If I use site:example.com to search, it appears only the url, no title or description.

I have a previously PR7 site in the same boat since 6/01. G calls these sites -partially indexed-.

The reason for the partial indexing might be
buying links penalty
linking to bad neighborhood
tricky SEO'ing
your server was down or disallowing spiders
bad robots.txt
a google glitch.

I'm just waiting it out & not making major changes. 'the site still does well in yahoo & msn serps.

Thanks for Stefan, 1milehgh80210, cabbie and all warmly friends.

I do according to your way, and the result is,

Google can show you the following information for this URL:

Show Google's cache of www.mysite.com/specific_page.htm
Find web pages that are similar to www.mysite.com/specific_page.htm
Find web pages that link to www.mysite.com/specific_page.htm
Find web pages that contain the term "www.mysite.com/specific_page.htm "

I use "www.mysite.com/index.htm"to search,
Sorry, no information is available for the URL www.mysite.com/index.htm
Find web pages that contain the term "www.mysite.com/index.htm"

I have a single page simliar to this. About 5-6 weeks ago I 301 Redirected it and a subgroup of about 10 others on the same subject that all interlink each other. It used to be a PR5/6 with all the others under it PR3/4 and was in the top 10-20 for a VERY competitive word phrase. It had gone (according to G's accounting) from about 118 BLs in May 2003 to 32 BLs in April 2004. It disappeared altogether for about 2 weeks, after the redirect, which is not unexpected, but ever since it has re-appeared under the new redirected URL, it has been a PR0 (white bar, not greybar). Also it is now back to about 95 BLs (a lot which I had never seen before) and sits right at rank 20 for that same phrase. All the others that were redirected with it are at their normal PR3/4.
I have also noticed a LOT of even fairly old pages on G with PR0 ranks and still ranking very well.
In summary I would say G is either changing the backlinks they show or has experienced a major burp in their recent "dance" and things could take a while to get back to "normal"... if ever... Remember Florida... I haven't really heard anyone complaining of losing major SERPS though yet, like Florida.

It sounds like your problem is mostly limited to the index page. You could have a look to see if anyone has linked to you without the www on the URL. Try a search for "example.com", no www, and see if anything shows up. Check your code for the index page too and generally try to figure out if there could be anything specific to the index.htm that's causing it. It could be a Google glitch, but best to check it all out.

Sorry,my mistake.I should've read your op more thorough.If you are still showing in the serps then you are not banned.
It must be a glitch.:)

Recently, I made links with many websites. But I choose them strictly. The web I choosed have four or higher pagerank.

The main page is clean.

If I use site:example.com to search, it appears only the url, no title or description. By "contain the term" I can see all of the pages.

But it seem google punish my main page. BTW, our site is built three months ago.
