RE: Site dropped suddenly. Is it due to htaccess?
How can i verify if it's penalized or a Google dance? Because its too coincidental that the entire site got de-indexed after the site got hacked. What can i do now? I still believe that it is still getting indexed by Google but GWT told me that Google have already indexed it. Maybe its because i just refused to believe the hard truth. What can i do now?

RE: Site dropped suddenly. Is it due to htaccess?
Hi
1. There is no malware on my site. I have triple checked on Succuri and in GWT
2. Sitemap was re-submitted yesterday. No point in re-doing it. I even changed my robots.txt as per comments above.
3. I re-did a Fetch as Googlebot . No issues here
4. If i have been penalized, I wont even be able to see my site when i googled my site name. Additionally, i did not receive any messages from Google. Whatever SEO methods I did for this site, i used on my other sites and the other sites are all sitting on the first page. Only this site! Damn, why am i so unlucky?

RE: Site dropped suddenly. Is it due to htaccess?
Its strange! How can my website dropped suddenly in ONE hour?
1. Site was de-indexed due to .htaccess . It was resolved
2. Site was back up on the first page within two days
3. Site was de-indexed within an hour.
What happened? How did it get de-indexed so quickly? I don't think Google's penalty even worked so fast? What is happening man?

On Google Webmaster Tools, the last updates was 6th April. Today is 9th April. Why did it stopped updating? Is there something wrong?

RE: Site dropped suddenly. Is it due to htaccess?
Cloudfare doesnt seem to serve my purpose. It seems to be able to detect hackers and spammers but my concern is on telling Google to index my site and put me back where I am originally was.
I have checked that on this site, there is no malware and no no-follows. The strangest thing is why did it suddenly go back to where it was and one hour later, it dropped?

Results from no index
Total amount of pages found on "site.com" with the noindex and/or nofollow meta tag is 0
I assumed that the above is good? Additionally, I have no malware. Succurri results were good.

RE: Site dropped suddenly. Is it due to htaccess?
No, i used Firefox which is specially for checking results. I do not use it to surf the website and i make sure it is never signed in to any Google accounts and history is never remembered.
How do I know if the .htaccess is correct? How is it possible to be back on the first page and within one hour, everything disappears?
I do not believe that i am being penalized as I am still showing up in results when keyed in the company name

RE: Site dropped suddenly. Is it due to htaccess?
Guys, please help me to figure out what could be wrong!
Today, I saw that all of the keywords was back on the first page and i was very happy. But within an hour, everything got de-indexed again! What happened? What could be the issue?

RE: Site dropped suddenly. Is it due to htaccess?
The .htaccess is solved and ive got several sites where i used the same SEO methods on all sites. My other sites are sitting safely on the first page. I strongly believe it was due to .htaccess which couldnt find the site and de-indexed my site. How can i force Google to crawl my sites and place me back on first page?

Site dropped suddenly. Is it due to htaccess?
I had a new site that was ranking on the first page for 5 keywords.
My site was hacked recently and I went through a lot of trouble to restore it. Last night, I discovered that my site was nowhere to be found but when i searched site: mysite.com, it was still ranking which means it was not penalized.
I discovered the issue to be a .htaccess and it have been resolved. My question is now that the .htaccess issue is resolved , will my site be restored back to the first page? Is there additional things that i should do? I have notified google by submitting my site
