Grey pr in Toolbars

Does it mean that my site has been banned?

[Mr_Muff]

When I find out that PR of my site is grey in my toolbars, does it mean that my site has been banned?

If so, is there any way to unbanned my site? E.g. - waiting few months or pay for it?

Thanks!

Hi Mr_Muff,

Is it a new site? If so, then the grey bar simply means that Google doesn't know about it yet and "Current page is not ranked by Google" means just that. Get some links to the site and a directory listing or two then wait through a couple of Google updates to see if the site gets indexed.

If the site previously had a PR rank and is now grey bar, then there might be a penalty of some sort.

The site had already PR, so I guess there is a penalty... I tried to crosslink it with more my sites. I have two servers so I thought it would be fine!

Is there any way how to "unbanned" my site?

Thanks!

Some simple cross linking between and among sites with fairly different content should not result in a penalty.

If, however, the sites' (pages) content reads the same to Google it will grey bar one and award PR to the other, usually the one with more incoming links.

Hi Friends,

i have a multilingual non dynamic site.
i do ip delivery by user interface language

All llinks to my main domain are gone, and PR for english went to gray. But the others language still have PR and links.

in my index.htm we implemented a java invisible text, now we took it off. YOu think this is the explanation?
