How do I check if my IP is blocked?

[FortressLearning]

We changed servers and where our sites once ranked very highly (page 1 for all sites), they now are nowhere to be seen.

Someone suggested that our IP might be blocked.

Someone else suggested SEOMoz was the place to go to get it checked.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

With thanks.

IP based bans are really rare within google. If you can link to your site that'd be great. Im wondering if there might not be a robots.txt problem or something else that may have arrived from the move as apposed to an IP based block.

Thanks Kris.

One of the sites is e-village.com.au

Used to be all over the front page using "Charters Towers" as the search term.

Your help is appreciated greatly.

well the first thing Im seeing right off the bat is google seems to prefer the address you just gave me however that redirects to a subdomain reflecting your desired keyword. When did you do this? I would

A) make sure that you are redirecting properly

B) if its only been a short while give google time to figure out whats going on here

C) make sure that any links that previously pointed to the root domain be switched to your preferred address.

Edit: Take a look at this...

Well, I am flatterred by the generosity of your responses, Kris.

The change to server was made last November.

How would I know if I am redirecting properly? Is that a question for the server-guy?

Cheers

Hey - I am not sure if this is relevant:

I just checked the Track Rankings for the other site (fortresslearning.com.au) and it came back with:

We’re unable to retrieve your ranking.

Is that somehow meaningful?
