Some site pages are removed from Google Index

[besartbajrami]

Hello,

Some pages of my clients website are removed from Google Index.

We were in top 10 position for some keywords but now I cannot find those pages neither in top 1000.

Any idea what to do in order to get these pages back?

thank you

If that's the timeframe, it's most likely not the recent Farmer Update. I'd guess it's most likely to be a penalty of some kind (manipulative linking practices, cloaking, thin/duplicate/scraped content are the most likely culprits). You might check out these posts for more detail:

It's hard to say without looking at the site however it's likely it's tripped the new quality filter. Try improving content on a single page and see if it makes difference. If yes, then apply to others.

You should also check Google Webmaster Tools for messages from Big G. They provide good insight on crawl issues quite a bit of the time too.

Hi Dan,

Thank you for your quick reply.

For 3 months they were in 4th and 8th position. then from 1-2nd february they're gone.

the website is older than 3 years.  and yes the pages are indexed by google.

There's not enough information here to help you. How long did they rank? How old is the site? When were the pages removed from the rankings? Are they still indexed? Did this happen at the time of the recent algorithm change? Answer some of these questions and we can more easily answer yours.
