Help Me to Know Why My Web is Banned From G

[xrvel]

Here is the website : o*s*y*t .com (remove the *)
Here is the live link

It is removed from Google.
It was there (i remember when it was there).
But now, even the query with "site:" results nothing.

I don't know the exact time when it was removed from Google.
I guess it was removed since about 1-3 months ago.

The last thing that i did and probably illegal (i am not sure) was i used a software to submit my website to lot of link directory and search engine.

Is this break the google webmaster guideline and make the website to be banned?
I do not know a lot about the guideline.
I guess i did not do anything wrong such as putting hidden content / link somewhere in my page.
Even i put "nofollow" to the outgoing link in my page (to avoid being marked as "link farm"?)

I have submitted it on my Google webmaster account and requested consideration several times (3-5 times this far).
Any idea and opinion is appreciated.

I tried to open your site in FireFox, but after putting your site in the address bar and pressed the enter key, I get Google search results instead of your site being opened.

Anyway, If you use any software that send automated queries to Google, such as some software used to check ranking etc, this will be little bad thing to do.

However, I think that, using any software, including the one that submit sites to directories and SEs, cannot harm a site. If such thing used to harm a site then people can use such softwares to ban their competitors site.

There must be some other reson why your site is not indexed.

Thanks angilina. I never use a software to check the ranking. Usually i only check pagerank on checkpagerank.net and such. If the software to submit can not harm a website, there must be something else.

Maybe something is wrong on my page?

I heard about "bad neighbourhood" can cause the google ban. Is it true? And what does "bad neighbourhood" mean?

Thank you.

The only thing you can do is submitting a reconsideration request. Sending more than one request is a bad idea and may result in a delayed response. You should only submit it once and provide as much details about what you did as possible. It takes time (maybe months!), but if your site was not using any blackhat SEO it'll get re-indexed.

Not necessarily true!

Not illegal UNLESS you were submitting it to Google over and over again, or pounding on their servers checking your SERPS position.

I think you probably got caught on the "bad neighborhood" issue because of the proxy sites you're linking to. Do you check them out before adding the link? If any of them are doing anything malicious, dodgy or outright illegal they've probably been flagged as a "bad neighborhood".

Using a robots.txt to block the script that does the handoff AND putting a nofollow on the links might have prevented this, but if you're linking to bad neighborhoods you won't pass the manual review on a reconsideration request.

Too bad if it's really a ban. I notice that you have raised your issue in google's webmaster help. Perhaps someone from google will answer you. Good luck.

I guess the reason was "bad neighbourhood".
I never check the submitted website, it was auto approved.
This far, i have not noticed anything illegal is submitted there, except parked domains and broken websites.

How do i know if a website is marked as "bad" if they seems working as a working "normally" as a proxy (in my case)?
I guess i should remove them before requesting consideration.

I use non-direct link with "nofollow" on the link such as "out.php?id=1", "out.php?id=2", etc.
Wonder why i was still marked as "bad" too.

I have submitted consideration request several times since few months ago.
Do you have any experience (or read somewhere), how long usually it takes to be reviewed again by Google and hopefully reindexed ?
Even i still see Google bot crawl the page (from awstats).

Check them out manually? (but be careful - bad proxies have been known to install nasty things on visitors' computers!).

I use non-direct link with "nofollow" on the link such as "out.php?id=1", "out.php?id=2", etc.

If it were me, I'd have also blocked out.php in robots.txt.

Nofollow *does* offer some protection against bad neighborhoods, but it doesn't keep nosy search engines from spidering the link and seeing what's there. If most of your site content is nothing but redirected links, that's another thing for Google not to love. If that's the case, dding some more unique content to your site may help.

I don't personally work with proxy sites or sites with proxy directories but I'm sure there are plenty of issues - you may want to toss that topic around in the other forum too.

The one and only time I ever filed a reconsideration request it was almost exactly 4 weeks to the day, and they never sent a reply (the site just magically re-appeared). It may be taking longer now, but if it's been months and your site hasn't been reincluded chances are your request was trashcanned.

Once my site was also banned 'cos of the spam on my forum there. But I wrote the letter to G with the explanation and they fixed everything. Maybe you should try that too...

 

[tossiba]

check your backlinks maybe google thought you were spamming

 

[xrvel]

Thanks for everyone's reply. :tu:
I'll add more content and such.

About the "spamming", i promote it only on proxy newsletter, i guess it was not considered as spamming, or was it?

Thank you.

If you submitted your website to hundreds or even thousands of those low-end bottom feeder directories that might have done it. Don't bother with directories that accept every single submission - they are garbage pure and simple and nothing more than link farms and google has a real hate on for those things.

 

[SiberForum]

The site can't be banned due to the neighbors. I suppose that happened due to the web site not due to the neighbors. I'd better try to contact google in hopes for any explanations.

 

[kleszcz]

Could your site work as proxy chaining and allow hotlinking from external links? If it is available they can create malicious links on your domain name and you'll get banned.

Google says:

Don't participate in link schemes designed to increase your site's ranking or PageRank. In particular, avoid links to web spammers or "bad neighborhoods" on the web as your own ranking may be affected adversely by those links.

So any group of sites excessively cross-linking to inflate their apparent popularity or any free for all link sharing programs are likely to be considered bad neighborhoods.

It's weird :o
What about all those link directories that need reciprocal link on submission.
