Have I received a Penalty
I noticed yesterday when I typed in info:businessservicesuk.com into the Google search bar no results are shown, this is very odd as it has been fine up to now.
Does this mean the website has been hit by some kind of penalty? I think I need a Valium ha-ha

Re: Have I received a Penalty
It is not showing Google's cache, similar sites and links to your domain! Have you changed keywords or content of your site? but still you should not loose these all, or it could be Google update! Why do you think they will penalize you?

Re: Have I received a Penalty
No idea
There has been some changes to the site and a few articles added but nothing major. Nothing I am aware of would cause a penalty

Hi,
Have you logged in to Google's Webmaster Tools? It may give an indication of what is happening. http://www.google.com/webmasters/ Regards, Martin |

Re: Have I received a Penalty
I can still see it listed here with a site: command:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...e+Search&meta= It's worth pointing out that Google sometimes does lose pages temporarily, along with data commands - I've actually seen a lot of that over the past couple of weeks, as if Google have undergone some kind of major update to their index (reindexing the web, if nothing else). The big teller on whether there is a penalty or not is to see whether you're seeing a complete loss of Google traffic. If you are getting slightly less than it may be that Google has lost a few pages - I know the index page of my personal blog disappeared for a few days, then came back. Total loss of Google traffic should be worrying - but temporary issues with search really isn't. 2c.

Re: Have I received a Penalty
Thanks for the info guys.
2 questions, Is there a way to get my site re-indexed? Is this new? https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/paidlinks?hl=en

Re: Have I received a Penalty
Tracy, your site is indexed.
 Try site:businessservicesuk.com on Google and you should find yourself still listed.

Re: Have I received a Penalty
Brian I know it is indexed, however as there have been changes made I simply wondering if there was a method to get the spiders to reindex the whole site. I know you can do this with Yahoo

Re: Have I received a Penalty
My advice is don't worry about it - you're already indexed, and Google is showing your record. The only place it apparently isn;t is on the info: parameter - and I would presume that is at fault, not your site.
