Site disappeared from Google search
Mar 20 2009, 5:28 AM EDT | Post edited: Mar 20 2009, 5:28 AM EDT
My site www.gayghana.org (www.gayghana.wetpaint.com) quickly moved to the first page of google search within a few weeks. It stayed there for about 2 months. then it suddenly disappeared (checked the first 5 pages). I re-registered the page several times but it does not make a difference. Its not that other more active sites have pushed it down. Most sites that appear on the first page of google search are old news and have been there long time. Does anyone know what may have caused the removal of the site in Google Search and what to do about it? I wonder if someone has flagged it as inappropriate (the site has no porn or X-rated content in it). 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

you're site wasn't giving enough unique information on a a particular subject maybe. What keyword did you use to google search it? Do you find this valuable?

You're wiki probably wasn't getting enough traffic. You can check this with SiteMeter or Google Analytics. For more info, see http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/page/tracking+traffic/ Do you find this valuable?

It attracted averagely 30 visitors per day (I used sitemeter). I could understand if it slowly moved down to the bottom of the page then to the second page etc. But it just disappeared all together suddenly Do you find this valuable?
