http://www.salonreme.com

Hi,

I'm hoping you can give me a hand here.

salon reme is a beauty salon webpage, and I've been trying to get it well positioned for "tendencias peluquería" (hairdressing trends). I have achieved very good rankings in Yahoo and MSN. In yahoo I have first position for this keyword phrase.

It took me longer to get into Google, but I made a change in the photo gallery and now Google has dropped the web altogether. It doesn't even show up when I search for the webname address, instead it only shows up in posts I made in a couple blogs.
I haven't been able to get the web in dmoz either.

I've built this page using wordpress blogging software and recently a gallery with coppermine.

The intro page is using the blog header so it captures posts in the news and beauty categories of the blog whenever it's published.
I have metas in the main page, and description text as well as links pointing to the different sections of the web so the spider can navigate to the whole web.

Do you think Google has banned my site for any reason?
Can you see anything that strikes you as terribly wrong?
Thank you

I forgot to mention: the site domain was hosted in Lycos free hosting for some time. The owner lost the passwords so the page is still there, however the domain no longer points to that ip. But the web was indexed in the Lycos directory first. So now if you search for "salon reme" in google you get that webpage as a result (after my blogs postings). Could that have anything to do with the problem?

To be honest, it seems as if you were banned...
This is what I see:
1. Google does not rate your site (n/a pr).
2. When looking up pages on your domain site:yoursite on google I get several blog pages on the domain wifiblanes.com which all redirect to your site.
3. When clicking on those pages in google I was first taken to the domain wifiblanes.com and then redirected to your site.

These two points lead me to believe that you have used the wrong redirect method to redirect those pages.

You need to use 301 redirect (permanent) not 302 or meta refresh/redirect.
This can be achieved through MOD_REWRITE on unix/linux servers or by the server admin on iis/windows machines.

Once changed email google and tell them about your mistake and that it's been fixed. It'll take a couple of months to get back on track.

Hope this helps,

Hi Gilgul,
I think the problem is I was developing this site for some time on my server. The spider crawled the domain and found activity there and grabed the links.
The same folder on my server has now the new domain salonreme. But it still has the old adress for a couple of posts it grabed.

I'll try to email google if I find where to send it.

By the way, I must make a note to put a password on all directories I work with live sites :-?

by searching on google for this "+www.salonreme.+com"
I found all links pointing to the site and found a spammer using my content to rank.

I'm wondering if this influences google in anyway into banning the site.
