Have you ever considered that google banned your site? Well it is not really straightforward to be 100% sure this is the issue. However there are some tricky tools available, which as authors say - will give you exact answer whether the site is banned or not. Well, we should not trust these tools.. It’s better to follow these steps, that could give you an answer:

• go to google webmaster tools and check Index status in the Summary section. If it says: “No pages from your site are currently included in Google’s index.” and your site was in the index before, then something went wrong..
• check robots.txt analysis, very often people set Disallow: / and that makes impossible to access your site..
• check whether you site is available via MSN or Yahoo, if the answer is YES, then we are very close to google ban

Not a bad idea would be to consider buying a new domain and indexing your content under a new domain. In the meantime send ‘reconsideration request’ to google via Google Tools -> Dashboard -> Submit a reconsideration request. Explain google:

• why do you think your site was banned,
• what bad practices did you use before,
• how much your site is important to you and
• that you feel sorry for spamming the Internet

I hope that helps.. Good luck!
