Removed From Google Index, and Wondering Why?
(Page 1 of 6 )
One of the worst things that could hurt the publicity for your website has happened: it has been removed from Google's index. Why did this happen? And more importantly, how can you get back into Google's good graces? Read on to find out.
Before we get to the meat of the matter, let's review the statement you probably received when Google informed you that it was removing your website from its index:
"Your page was manually removed from our index, because it did not conform with the quality standards necessary to assign accurate PageRank. We will not comment on the individual reasons a page was removed and we do not offer an exhaustive list of practices that can cause removal. However, certain actions such as cloaking, writing text that can be seen by search engines but not by users, or setting up pages/links with the sole purpose of fooling search engines may result in permanent removal from our index. If you think your site may fall into this category, you might try 'cleaning up' the page and sending a re-inclusion request to help@google.com. We do not make any guarantees about if or when we will re-include your site."
So the first thing to keep in mind is that no one other than Google could tell you precisely why your site was removed. Secondly, Google doesn't do that sort of thing. The best thing you can do, then, is make an analysis designed to reveal the red flags that could have led to your site's removal.
