Before you can follow the steps in this tutorial, you must do two things:
1. Make sure your website is not banned in Google. You can check this in the Google search box with a site operator command:
site:yourdomain.com
This will tell you whether or not Google indexes your website. If it does, then this tutorial will work for you. This tutorial is primarily written for non-SEO professionals, so if you are a webmaster or website owner with little or no experience in SEO, then you can follow this five-minute check to diagnose your website for SEO-related problems.
2. You must also have a Google Webmaster Tools account for your website that has been active for more than three months. If it is newer than that, there will not be enough data in the account for troubleshooting, which will be needed in this analysis.
