Google Fucks Me Over

Yet again Google has fucked me over. I have a niche content site pushing the same affiliate offer on every page towards the end of each article. The site consisted of around 50 pages and haven't done much with the site over the last 2 years but the rankings have been naturally increasing as the site aged. In the last 6 months the site has been position 1 for a load of the top searches in the niche as well as ranking highly on page 1 for the main keyword in the niche.

Anyway.... out of the blue on friday I realized that google has removed the whole site from their index.

What the fuck is going on?
 


I had this happen on several occasions. Just wait a few days - it might take up to a week and it'll get back.

The whole site has been removed from the index! If you search site:www.site.com it doesn't show up.

I have pages lose their rankings and drop back to page 50 etc but never had a whole site disappear completely before.

You still think it will come back?
 
I hit the fucking roof when I found out it was gone. Trying to keep my cool!

I really appreciate the feedback! Thanks..

Give it a year, if it's not back by then - then start freaking out.
 
Not to freak you out, but the vast majority of sites that have disappeared from the serps have never reappeared.

What happened is someone reported you to Google and one of their staff took a look at your site. Since they probably reviewed over 1,000 sites that day, he didn't give a shit and just banned it permanently.

It's a pain but you just gotta start over.

Just kidding, what the other guys said is true.
 
Maybe it was that last Google update ? What about other sites ? Do you have similar ones with similar structure ?

Lol, I've reported several parasite pages (owned by the same person) in one of my niches as spam. Google bumps them down two spots after a month, then nothing happens. Suddenly they disappear to the second page, then bounce back at number 4, 5, and 7 (with me at 6) on page 1. After a few more months two go away and I am left with a rotation of exact match domains singular and plural fighting it for the spot above me and we are rotating it back and forth.

Oh, and all those sites I reported have less than 100 backlinks total for all those pages.

It's honestly a hit and miss with that.

My point is, it's highly unlikely the OP got reported for spam and Google canned your site. If he got deindexed, it is for horrid content on his site that is duplicated, or he may have been found overusing his keywords and it looks like he is stuffing. There's a lot of other reasons, but those are the major red flags that people with Wordpress sites find themselves in most of the time.

Very true.

Start looking for aged domains in your niche that are expiring so you can replace the site with them. Forward all the links from the past site to the new domain so you keep your traffic.

Oh, and make sure to research them heavily to avoid any domains that are blacklisted for spamming (we've all made the mistake of spending countless hours on SEO only to find they never get indexed after we buy them).
 
Why not tell us your domain, i'm sure if you did something that google frowns apon these guys would recognize it.
