Thread: Blacklisted!

My website was finally getting somewhere for carp fishing in France got it to page 6 and it dropped to page 9 yesterday and I got up this morning and its gone!

Instead its showing results for an alternative link low down in the ranks.

I am just wondering what the best way to check if your website has been penalized or blacklisted?

the website link is in the footer if you wanna have a look yourself.

Thanks for the help guys!

Go to google webmastertools and register your site. So you will get informations from google itself if your site has been penalized and the reason for it.

I already have there is nothing there to say I have been penalised. Ive checked various things and nothing suggests I have been except my rankings dissapearing .

From what I can see your website was not 'blacklisted' or deindexed by Google. But as you mentioned Google is always doing some update and that can be the reason for it. Anyway the ranking can be recovered through sustained SEO process.

You can check by entering your domain name as keyword in google without www., http and .com
So if your website have crappy place for "lac dernier" then you are penalized.
Also if after 1-2 weeks your site is nowhere to be found for your main keywords then most likely you are penalized.

first of all check your Google webmaster tool for the backlinks to your website, now download all the back links even if any web site linking to you inner pages and check them all if one is penalized then go the website and manually remove your back links, you can remove back links easily from articles website, forums and classifieds but you can ask admins of Directories to remove your website link. hope after some time your website will get index and will on good rankings,

As well check you on page seo. check if you have low quality or less content, Keyword density etc to make sure your website is ok.

Thank you guys and sorry for slow reply appreciate all the help with this I will follow all steps given and try to and recover my positions

Just wondering what would you say the best way to get safe backlinks would be without having to manually make them yourself, maybe a backlinks service that you know and trust which I could use.

Just wanted to let you guys know I removed some backlinks a college from work put on there and its back on page 8 so.. think the problem is solved there!

when i try my domain name with .com i see it on google but when i type only the domain i do not see it. can anyone help me out

Can you also get a penalty from Google without the message in your Webmastertools ? I'm asking because one of my sites is new, just 4 month. First it was very high ranked but then fall down with all Serps ? Or is there a newbie Bonus ?

YES! Since the penguin was running.. you can get a moneykeyword penality.. and this goes without any email or warning.

Hi, our site underwent a significant drop in serps within one day. I checked the article above but I'm pretty sure that it was neither penguin nor panda. We did some extensive link building the last three months. Can that be the reason? And what should we do now? Should we remove the links or should we just wait? We googled our company's name and we are still at no.1: We didn't receive any notification from google. Kind of desparate-
