Hi:

My Website, http://www.richworkathome.com/ is tree months old; started in a 100th position, and yesterday was in the 6th position among 1.100.000 for a SERP with the exact keywords of the site title.

- Keywords density 9.63% for the exact site title
- 17 back links detected by Yahoo, 10 by MSN, 0 by Google
- No black hat SEO. Followed Google rules.

Index page disappeared from Google cache. The other 6 pages from the site appear in the cache. The site displays normally in MSN and Yahoo.

So, the index page no longer appears on a SERP for ANY keywords. The other 6 pages appear when searched with the relevant keywords.

Tried 12 Google ban checks with different tools. Results: “site is not banned”

Sitemap http://www.richworkathome.com/sitemap.xml and crawling test okay.

Will appreciate any ideas, suggestions, any help from the forum members.

Best wishes to all of you.

How do you check if your site is banned?

Try adding it to Google webmaster tools, it's the only realistic way to find out if you're suffering from a ban or a penalty - that and if you know if you've been up to anything naughty.

I swear I learn something new everytime I come to this site! and I feel like I know (knew) a lot coming in here too.


I've used the Google Sitemap page, but how does Google's Web Master Tools determine if your site is banned?


As far as black hat SEO, I've learned my lesson and I stay strictly white hat now!! One year I was trying to be cute and later learned that it was a black hat technique. But, like back then sometimes you may inadvertantly do something that gets you in trouble. I think I know now what can get me in trouble and I stay away from those techniques.
