    On the whole the site looks OK to me.

    Couple of options here I'd say:-

    Google might be just 'being Google' and you might appear again in a day or so. Some of the sites I work on have disappeared on Google for no apparent reason then reappeared a few days later as if nothing had happened. I can only put this down to Google updated their algo or something similar.

    Do you use Google webmaster tools on the site? https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools
    Might be worth checking if there are any issues with any of the pages which Google doesn't like and they will often tell you so in the webmaster tools area.

    I notice you have very few inbound links showing to the site... might be worth building some good relevant inbound links to help bring the site back up.

    Hey!

    Did you do anything "black hat"? Or did u hire an SEO company that did SEO for you? Make sure you are not using any shady techniques and you'll be fine.

    Also, your site is not banned from Google. It's still there if you search for your domain. If it was banned it would have been removed completely.

    Don't panic. Just monitor your keywords, build some backlinks to your site, but do not do anything unnatural, do not spam Google, and you will be fine.

    Rankings do fluctuate... I had experience of going from page 1 to page 6 in a matter of days ... and then I came back to page one.... go figure...

    Cheers

    $5,000!? You don't need to spend ANYWHERE near that much to get some decent rankings!And like has been said before, yes, the google rankings do fluctuate, especially if your site is PR3 or lower. Just give it a little time (if you can).One other thing...make sure you don't have any significant downtime, so make sure the hosting is solid.

    Thank you all.
    I still do not understand. There has to be some kind of mistake , it is hard to believe that google would take down the page without the reason.
    I am still up on yahoo, altavista, and many other searches.

    I do not have duplicated content, Page has a lot of information, I have a lot of external links.

    Can this be the reason.
    I have too many external links?

    I have not used SEO I have red and made the page myself.
    Thanks

    Hmmm seems Google doesn't like something you have done. If I search for your exact home page title you are at the top of page 2 so you are there in the index just looks to me like Google has hit you for doing something they don't like. I can see you have a few links in but most of the links showing in Google are your internal links and no inbound links from other sites.

    Have you signed up to Google webmaster tools to see if any problems are showing with your site?

    On the other hand if you have been recently focussing on link building and they see a sudden spike in link building activity this could result in a drop in rankings for a period and then you should come back if you keep the link building consistent. I had a similar issue with one of my sites a while back where it took a 20 place drop for a major single keyword for the site (all other keywords remained pretty much static though) but it arrived back on page 1 about 2-3 months later.

    And once you are registered with Google's webmaster tools, make sure you submit a sitemap there too - that helps, A LOT!

    There's a few things I can see which might be affecting your rankings

    1) You've got way too many keywords in your meta data. Search engines can rank you down if they think you're keyword stuffing, so cut down your targeted keywords to ~10 instead of the 30 or so you have in there.

    2) Accessibility issues. Your main navigation consists of images without alt text, meaning that people with screen readers aren't able to use it.

    3) Validation issues. You haven't declared a doc type for your website and there are a few other similar issues. Doc type is declared by putting <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> before the <html> tag on your page, and if you search for w3 validation on google you'll get a validater which will tell you the other issues (my first post, so I can't post direct links yet)

    4) No Header tags on your pages. Header tags (H1, H2, etc) help the search engines decide what keywords are relevant for your page, so any keywords in these tags will be given extra weight (although like with the meta tags, over using them will get you dropped in ranking). Having the title of your pages in <h1></h1> tags shoud help with this

    There's probably a few other issues, but that's the most obvious ones I can see. I'd also recommend installing analytics software (google analytics is a decent option) so as to track visitor numbers and conversions on your site (you can also use it to find out which keywords are working well for getting you traffic and conversions, and so refine you're keyword selections better)

    Hope that helps a bit, and good luck with getting your site ranking well again

    Default Google has blocked me??

    Hi,
    Rafal, I think your website have no problem at all.
    When search for davinci Honolulu Maui it cames at the 1st position.
    http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en...u+Maui&spell=1
    I had a look on the site and I found that the and I found some problems
    http://tool.motoricerca.info/spam-detector/ just try it.
    You can resolve that easy.
    Other:
    http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com...m&fr=sfp&bwm=i Normally yahoo see more links then google and if you have only more or less 35o links in google should be not many, so it means that you are not ranking because you need links visibility.
    http://www.google.pt/search?hl=pt-PT...q=f&oq=link%3A You have only one link is this link, maybee in the webmasters tools you have more but they are not many I think.
    So about the site and the domain in google the is no problem, you have a problemof visibility link.

    Of course with the post right above you can improve the site even more.
