| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | prettygirlcos | 4/16/12 11:07 AM | I am having the same issues this morning! Never had an issue like this before. |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | rburden | 4/16/12 11:13 AM | same here. just happened today. I am an animation studio for 10 years without a problem with this website. |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | travler | 4/16/12 11:18 AM | There are a lot of outbound links on your home page for the first site - should all be nofollowed are you by any chance interlinking sites under your control and not nofollowing links? Are there any messages in webmaster tools? |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | Vascant | 4/16/12 11:22 AM | I noticed the same thing and was like.. what happened! Funny, I own the software and when you do a search for it you find reviews for it but not my site. Hope this gets cleaned up quickly |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | akhella | 4/16/12 12:08 PM | Thanks! I took care of the nofollow links. But no, I am not interlinking any sites, except for the blog (http://amirkhella.com) and the product site (http://keynotopia.com) because they are on related topics. |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | akhella | 4/16/12 12:09 PM | Has there been a change to Google's algorithm lately? The only message I have in my webmaster tool is for wordpress update, which I will do right now. But my version of wordpress is not that old. |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | travler | 4/16/12 12:17 PM | http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.ca/2012/01/page-layout-algorithm-improvement.html for changes - you cannot interlink sites under your control i thought I saw more than just the two interlinked sites.oh yes on the 1and1 - you have subdomain |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | akhella | 4/16/12 1:13 PM | Thanks! What about the 1and1 subdomain link? can you please elaborate? |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | travler | 4/16/12 1:29 PM | on the 1and 1 domain, you have a menu/link to Press and it takes me to a subdomain (separate site)- that's not good. Can look like cloaking/ sneaky redirect as people on your site suddenly aren't? |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | Stephanwb | 4/16/12 1:55 PM | This same thing happened to me this morning... I am also hosted on http://1and1.com. |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | akhella | 4/16/12 1:59 PM | Are you on their shared hosting account? I am strongly suspecting that google is blacklisting some of 1and1 server IPs |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | travler | 4/16/12 2:10 PM | @ akhella, when you posted all those domains, I got the hosting one mixed up with the dot tv one <sigh> so many sites so little time. Sorry about that. Was there a server outage last day? |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | Phil Payne | 4/16/12 2:15 PM | That would probably make the national news - at least in Germany. |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | Vascant | 4/16/12 2:27 PM | I am on hostgator and it has happened to me |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | akhella | 4/16/12 2:29 PM | Is there a way to check if a domain name or server IP is blocked/blacklisted on Google? |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | akhella | 4/16/12 2:38 PM | @travler no worries. I asked 1and1 and they said there was no server outage the past couple of days. I can see that my websites are coming up in search results on Bing.com and Yahoo.com, but not on Google :( |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | travler | 4/16/12 3:05 PM | well good to know no server outage but the issues with your site remain (followed links) including the blog subdomain. And for sure we know google dropping those sites like hot potatoes. And product pages such as eynotopia DOTcom/ipad-prototyping/ h |

| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | Hrgot | 6/6/12 12:01 PM | Why did you conclude it was mistaken as a parked domain Phil? |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | Phil Payne | 6/6/12 1:20 PM | Heaven knows - that was six weeks ago. |
| Re: My product website and blog suddenly disappeared from Google search results | AMPpod | 10/30/12 2:29 AM | Hi travler, This is very interesting what you say about interlinking. I was top of google rankings with my blog http://amppod.com and then all of sudden gone from Google rankings top 10 pages. Is this because I have linked to pages within my tumblr blog f |
