Help with google - re: SEO stuff

[UKbob]

Are there any SEO guru's here?

We're pretty good (got over 100 number 1 rankings for our own domain) and I have a few mates who are also good in their own right (dedicated optimisation companies)

I have a problem. My site (email me if you might be able to help) just doesnt exist in the google directory. Its gone. And we havnt been banned. No black hat stuff etc

Instead, in google's cache, there is a link saying the site has moved, and through the cache it links to some spammers site. Very scary stuff(!) ive never seen anything like it, and dont know what to make of it.

Many thanks in advance, if anyone can spare 5 mins of their time to have a look, jId be very grateful. Just drop me a mail.

Isn't that Silver Cerbs line of work?

Its his line of work, and also mine

He's sure its the 'jagger' update (google has a shakeup - changes things around from time to time) and results drop off the first few pages, but settle down eventually.

Im not so sure. My site cant be found at all! allinurl:www. site:www. ... its just isnt there(!) What concerns me is that its not actually ON the google database, anywhere

What is there though, is this cached link to a another site, saying my URL has moved. Ive never seen anything like it before

It's a well-known Google hack I'm afraid... someone has effectively "hijacked" your site's ranking on google by using a 302 redirect.

Zak, can you drop me an email mate, through my profile. I'm not so sure. This is what we initially suspected, but its hard to say. A reinclusion request has been made to google - hopefully things will sort themselves out in time, but Im not expecting a speedy response with jagger still happening.
