Are they BANS sites? are they .com?Are they completely gone from the index (as in nothing comes up when you search site:mydomain.com) or are they at the bottom of SERPS? I have one site that has been at the bottom of SERPS for about 2 months now. I've added more unique content, built backlinks, adjusted the keyword density, nothing is making any difference. The good news is that I'm getting quite a lot of hits from Yahoo and MSN. I'm not sure how much difference it would make (they both found my site without me doing anything) but you could use their equivalent of Google Webmaster to inform them about your site if you're not already getting hits from these search engines. <a href="http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/" rel="nofollow">Yahoo Site Explorer</a> and MSN Live Webmaster</a><div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('12466','janet'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('12466','janet','Brian This sounds bad.

Does anyone know what can I do to get my sites back to Google again? do I have to re-submit for reconsideration or just wait out for a few months?

This is a real bummer - I can't believe Google would blanket deindex eBay affiliate sites, but this is what seems to be happening. I have sites both with reasonable content on them, and on a .com domain, so I don't think the .info plays that much of a role (I have some .info's that are still doing fine). It wouldn't be hard for Google to figure out it's dealing with an eBay affiliate site, from the plethora of Rover links - even with WordBay, where the link is masked, the image url is not (not possible, without caching of some sort). But it would be a real downer if Google decided it was going to stifle all eBay affiliates. I don't own BANS, so I don't know if there's a debate about this over in the BANS member forums or are we just imagining things...? However, it might be time to get clever... Just when I'd started making a few bob too...<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('12331','markowe'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('12331','markowe','Hi Janet,\r\n\r\nI see you wrote about this on your blog a while back.

I took two months from the time I heard about BANS to feel I knew enough to actually purchase it and begin to use it. 1. Mark's (http://www.thenichestorebuilder.com/the-foundation-of-building-a-niche-store-empire-in-12-weeks.htm) is the best place to start. Mark is also right in developing integrated, authority sites where you have a blog, original content, and a store. Ask Mark for his link. 2. Then purchase BANS and read the manuals, build a site or two, play with a template or two. Get used to the software and the terminology. 3. Rochelle at http://www.nichestorestrategies.com has an index of her postings and a checklist (http://www.nichestorestrategies.com/i-created-a-niche-store-checklist/) That works well for me when I set up a site. 4. http://www.jtpratt.com has a section on BANS for another viewpoint and is one of the best for Wordpress Blogs. 5.

Wealthy Affilliate is the best for the money and teaches you the basics without ripping you off for hundreds of dollars. Right now WA (Wealthy Affiliate) is the best place to learn the marketing tips and tools to develop your site. Bans is just a piece of software to accomplish your goals.
