I had one site on the first page of Google for a while, until one day, the site was no longer found! I went to the 25th page and still my site was not there. I finally gave up searching and still to this day – wondering what I did wrong (if in fact it was my mistake).
Sure, I love Google with all of it’s products, but, hate them as well, if it was the dreadful Panda that killed my website.

Hey Emory,

I thought about that possibility. It would imply alleged wrongdoing on my part though in my opinion. Something like “he was cheating us to get ranked higher” would be the case. Then the next step would be “he doesn’t want to get indexed at all so apparently he doesn’t want to manipulate the algo, let him back in”.
There is also a slight chance that I still had some duplicate content issues and once my content was off the radar I got judged solely by my domain authority or something. Still I’d expect to return immediately after removing myself from the index not several months later.

To me SEO was always about trail and error. Try it yourself and in case it really works it might be a pattern not sheer coincidence.

This is inspiring but oh so perplexing.

On your possible reasons for recovery, do you think the the de-indexing itself could have triggered some kind of algorithmic curiousity? Like an ex girlfriend wanting to know who you’re going out with now perhaps.

Scrapers have been outranking my 15 year old white hat content site after Panda so I’m thinking of following your lead… not sure if I have the nerve for it, though.

I am still yet to recover from the panda issue. its sad because most of my visitors were from google, thus enabling me make sales for my products. I really do not understand why my rankings became so low, i know i do not have duplicate content. Infact, i do not understand google. But i guess, they think they are the LORDS! After my ban from Adsense, i had to look for alternative means of making money. Sad though, but i guess life goes on.

I have the same thoughts about Google and wondering why Google has no competition at all for now. I think that this situation will change and it’s already changing. And yes, I don’t like “big advertising agency” which is going too far in regulating what and how I should write in my blog while making money on my content.
