Banned site and PR relation

[Mong]

If Google bans website.. then
is it necessary that it must get PR ZERO ?

[labrocca]

Well not necessary really but that's what happens.

[Yri]

My site isn't in index, but it has PR 2. I don't even know what to think...

[Emperor]

I think when Google bans you, you get PR0 “grey bar” and they drop yourfrom their index.

[Mong]

Well,
I got pr after getting ban

[sim64]

I had a site get hit about 8 months ago, it didn't get completely banned
but just lost all its positions (had thousands of top 10 positions)
It went from 10,000+ visitors a day to just a few hundred overnight.
It still shows as PR5 now with loads of PR5 and 4 internal pages, but won't
even rank for really easy phrases.

If you get banned just clean up your act and do a reinclusion request.

Keep in mind that a "ban" may not necessarily be a ban - may just be a change in the way your site is viewed (by Google). Matt Cutts posted a few weeks ago about how Google changed the way they approached indexed. The basic idea was that you may need "quality" links to get your site indexed fully - that is, if you just have crap links, then Google won't prioritise your site.

This small change means that sites who previously had 10,000's pages indexed, would drop to 1,000's or even 100's.

The point is, that although this seems like a ban or a penalty, it isn't. It's just a shift in priorities.

In my experience, banned sites have PR0, return no results using the site: command and a search for "domain" doesn't return your site in the results.

So, if v7n got banned, the site would be PR0, site:www.v7n.com would return no results and any Google search for v7n would return sites that contain the text "v7n" and not this URL.

PR0 doesn't mean a ban on it's own - it just means the site's PR is less than 1.

thebestof is right-

If you are banned, the toolbar is grey, and your site is not included in the index AT ALL. You would not have pr, and you would not gain pr. You may be penalized due to some perceived fault,and ranking has dropped, or this could be some temp effect of the bigdaddy update.

I know that approx april 16th (ish) my traffic dropped quite dramatically on google, and did not recover fully until a few weeks ago.

Are your pages indexed at all? type this without quotes to see if your site is in the index. "site:www.sitename.com"

i got one of my sites banned once - that was before i found out about comment spamming in blogs - some poker site spammed by site with lots of dodgy links... as a result the site got banned - the toolbar pr wasn't grey, it was white... also, all indexed pages disappeared from google's index...

i wrote to them a couple of times and got some canned responses... but after many months, the site got back into the index...

I have a similar situation with a site. PR2 but shows no pages indexed. At least your website at some point showed some pages indexed but mine was never indexed... Not even once.
How could they BAN a site without even indexing it??? I think it's "another" of BigDaddy's power feature!!!

[Yri]

My site is PR2. (www real-estate-star com) - Google says that he has no information about this URL. But he updates the cashed page every 5 days. Last updates were 6, 11, 16 Jule.

Cashed URL: Google's copy of page

I don't know what even to think

stoner3221, I'll try you way.

[Yri]

Last updates were 6, 11, 16, 21 Jule, but site isn't in index still.
