>are you linked into / were you linked into any shady networks?
No, I did NOT link into any shady networks.
>I thought I read in here before, there was a very cheap host that blocked the Googlebot somehow.
From December 2003 to November 2003 my hoster was HostPro.com.ua. In November 2003 I have changed it to 3fn.net and used 3fn.net until March 2004.
In March 2004 I get back to HostPro.com.ua.
From December 2003 to March 2004 my site WAS IN Search results. I don't think that HostPro.com.ua started to block Googlebot.
Moreover, I have 13 hits of Googlebot from 19 April to 12 May. But it doesn't read my HTML files.
>I have heard that its possible for a server ip address to be banned - might be a thought if your using shared hosting?
Yes, I am using shared hosting, but I checked another sites, which are host at the same server (vsetv.com, proxima.com.ua, auto-media.net). I CAN see them into search results.
How can I check, was my IP banned or not?
