How do you know that your site has been 'banned' by a search engine?

What can I do to find out if my site has been banned/penalized or not by a search engine?
Thanks a lot!

Hello Mike34, a good place to start would be with caveman's Dropped Site Checklist which can be found here...

Don't let caveman's nic fool ya. He's not as stone age as his nic leads you to believe. ;)
