Site Removed from Google

Imagine one day you wake up and your site has been removed from Google.  You sit there wondering why while looking at your site.  Although you know that Google knows everything, you’re still upset that your site is gone and you have no clue why.

Well I did a little research on the subject of why sites may get removed from Google and came across quite a bit of information.  Some places said not to panic and your site would reappear, others gave reasons why your site was gone.  Although it would be nice if your site was under the “don’t worry it will reappear” category, it may not be.  Below is a short list I gathered of why your site would disappear from Google.

Browser Issues Got Me Down

I have not posted in awhile, part of the reason was that I was tending to some family things, but for the most part, it was technology that got in the way.  It is hard enough to work online and of course it makes it extremely difficult/impossible to continue to work online when getting online isn’t in the cards.

My main issue, which was a big one, was not being able to connect to the internet, not due to my ISP but due to my browser.  I use Mozilla Firefox and it was not opening even though it was still running in the background.  When I finally was able to connect, I downloaded the Safari and Opera browsers but neither of those seemed to work either.

Setting up SEO Quake Correctly

SEO Quake is a plugin for Firefox and comes in very handy when doing market analysis for whatever niche you are in.  SEO Quake pulls back data from competing websites in your niche letting you know how strong your competition is.

As I found out the hard way, there is a right and a wrong way to set up SEO Quake.  If you are in the default settings it may cause some trouble for you with Google.  What do I mean by trouble?  Basically, you would be pulling too much data, too often, and Google would then ban your IP address.  Although, this ban is not permanent, lastly 15 minutes to a couple hours, you still can’t search and that is a problem.

ECONNREFUSED – Connection refused by server Error

While attempting to upload to a file using FileZilla the other day I ran into this error message “ECONNREFUSED – Connection refused by server”.  It never seems to fail that, when I am moving right along, up pops an issue I need to figure out or am unfamiliar with.

After going through the motions of changing my passwords, as well as some other steps, I finally gave up, left the computer and began to stew about it.  I tried to figure out what had recently changed on my system that would cause this to happen, since it was not occurring before.
