    Need some help

    Hello guys, I'm new here , hope someone can help me.
    I was Ranked as NR 1 in Google for my keyword, but 5 days ago my main page disappeared from Google , the sub-pages remained in Google. I have an wordpress site, the site is legal and I didn't get any notification from google, hope someone can help me, thanks.

    This implies you are doing something shady, but it doesn't brake any laws.

    What is it that you are doing?

    I'd say that's the reason.

    It's giving away free beta keys, but in fact they dont work, it doesn't break any law, if that's the reason why only the index page isn't indexed, also i checked other Search Engines, same problem , maybe it's something wrong with the sitemap.xml or robots.txt?

    Maybe... What's the domain name? (You can't post the url but you can post it as: "mydomain-com")

    It can actually be robots.txt - I've seen many people disallowing their home pages or other important pages. Besides, if you say it disappeared from other engines (by the way, which?) as well, that's another fact that makes me think that should be Robots.txt

    Maybe you could copy your file here?
    Everything will be ok in the end

    If it's not ok, it's not the end
