website missing from google listings?

Well it sounds like your on your way back .

Please let me know how long it takes google to respond to your reinstatement request. Matt told me about six weeks and I believe him, but you know how these things go.

Just one more suggestion, if you have not done this already, you might want to consider it. In google webmaster tools there is now a malware checker for your site, you might want to run your site thru it, just to be sure, cuz even the best sites sometimes catch a nasty. And catching a nasty is a sure way to have google drop your site, just like you described yours did.

Hope things are going better with your site. Did you find anything of note with Google Webmaster Tools?

Great advice from Lots0, thank you for that.

According to my information Your site in google dance,its usually happens when your are doing good seo,You can expect good SERP when your site come out from google dance.

We would surely have a look at the reinstatement request. There were no reports of violations because we have looked at buying, but before this we never sold.

based on the description, i believe Google did not ban the site from the search results. So the site is still included in the search result.

Ceck your website speed, this is also a mjor factor now.

Yep agree with that point.

I use a lot of WP these days and have been using the minify plugin I've also tried CDN too but as there are no CDN's in Australia the disadvantages far outweight the advantages for me here.

However if you based in the US, UK, EU using a CDN (content delivery network) or something like cloudflare.com should also speed up your site load times.

I use the following to test page loading speed. WebPagetest - Website Performance and Optimization Test it's great because I can obtain tests from many locations throughout the world.

I also use some tweaks in my htaccess which control header expire dates, compression and how pages, images are handled.

If you host with a Win Box this wont work, it only works with Unix/Apache:

# BEGIN Compress text files

  AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml application/xml application/xhtml+xml text/css text/javascript application/javascript application/x-javascript application/x-httpd-php

# END Compress text files
 
# BEGIN Expire headers

  ExpiresActive On
  ExpiresDefault "access plus 5 seconds"
  ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 2592000 seconds"
  ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 2592000 seconds"
  ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 2592000 seconds"
  ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 2592000 seconds"
  ExpiresByType application/x-shockwave-flash "access plus 2592000 seconds"
  ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 604800 seconds"
  ExpiresByType text/javascript "access plus 216000 seconds"
  ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 216000 seconds"
  ExpiresByType application/x-javascript "access plus 216000 seconds"
  ExpiresByType text/html "access plus 600 seconds"
  ExpiresByType application/xhtml+xml "access plus 600 seconds"

# END Expire headers
 
# BEGIN Cache-Control Headers

  
    Header set Cache-Control "public"
  
  
    Header set Cache-Control "public"
  
  
    Header set Cache-Control "private"
  
  
    Header set Cache-Control "private, must-revalidate"
  

# END Cache-Control Headers

Using all of the above I managed to obtain a Speed Score of between 93 - 96 on most of my sites.


I dare say with the latest Panda updates and these tweaks, is why I've seen increases in my serps. Faster page loading should reducing bounce rate % too.

If your want to really get creative you can use things like sprites to reduce the number of connects to pull images. These a generally used for small *.png buttons etc...etc. In layman terms they are a group of *.png images all added to one image file. You call these via CSS and position them in a similar way to what was once used as mapping cordinates for say an active image area where the mouse could click a link for example.

Read up on it, it's an effective was to reduce image calls on multiple files to a single file instead.
