Technorati notes over 290 inbound links for Huffington's Toast (which gets nearly 3000 unique visitors a day and has been written up by the National Review) and G says there are no inbound links. MSN and Yahoo have cite many. My concern is that G may be suppressing sites for political reasons.

Apollo,

That is an interesting article, unfortunately in my case, it wasn’t just a lowering in the ranking — I wasn’t indexed at all.

In any case, thank you for the comments, everyone. I REALLY appreciate it, and my heart is swollen with joy, at knowing that this website matters to you, too

I will get something done about this, somehow. Maybe change the domain, or write to them again, one last time.

The official way to get out of a Google ban:

1. Go to: http://www.google.com/support and select the appropriate answers.

2. For your message, use the words “reinclusion request” as the title and add a short explanation of the problem.

3. Wait…….

Is Googlebot hitting your site at all?

This site says, that you have 182 URLs in your site. This might be a problem and a reason for google to block your site as it might be considered as spam.

Perhaps the lack of information in your domain name registration is affecting the credibility of your site?

I’d also suggest putting adsense ads up. Not only would that force Google to spider your site, but you wouldn’t have to worry about having blank advertising space. Google will fill it for you.

I would try adding some small Google text ads to the side of your page. That will sort of force Google to index the content so they can serve relevant ads.

I am just wondering if this a server and header thing. Bots can be picky about redirects and such. I dont know how you are set up in that regard. Just my 2 cents.

Did you email webmaster-at-google.com with the subject ‘reinclusion request’? Tell that it seems the previous owner has used this domain for for a link farm pointing to epilot.com. This can be seen here: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://wordlog.com
Spam at the beginning of the year (2 links), later your blog.
epilot.com is as well banned by google.
I made the experiance, that google really looks at sites you ask for a reinclusion request. It usually took 3 month.

Have you seen *any* requests from the Google netblock(s) or a user agent called Googlebot? If not, try and check other sites hosted on the same server. If they don’t get any visits from Googlebot, maybe there’s a firewall or routing issue somewhere upstream.

I checked your site through Google’s translation service (IP: 216.239.*.*, prolly 216.239.38.136), so at least that host or block seems to be able to get here.

Try signing up for Adsense and putting it on the site. They have to spider the page for Adsense to produce ads. They claim it won’t improve your ranking, but they still have to spider the site or it won’t work.

http://www.whois.sc/wordlog.com shows you in DMOZ. I have no idea what’s up, but a DMOZ listing will lead to extra traffic.

Man, are you a persistent one! If ‘G’is that important to you, reload your site with a different web address. The time wasted could have already appeased you. You seem so self defeating.

Which don’t count — Google can’t see dashboards, can it?

A bit in the vein of “you also get traffic from yahoo, MSN, etc. Get listed there, wait a while, and goole will list you too.”, do submit your site in the proper category at http://www.dmoz.org , the Open Directory Project. Any not google websearch that is based on that (and lots of directories are – AOL comes to mind too) will show you then.

Sorry I can’t help with google. Ganbatte!
