Ways to check if Google has blacklisted a page?

Google the entire URL of the site/page. If it doesn't show up in your google-search it's most likely blacklisted.

Hi

Thanks for that - I was perhaps a little misleading in my question - the pages do appear against my main keywords in the Google index, just not in the top 100, some not even in the top 500!! Seeing they were all in the top 20 it's a huge loss!

I could be wrong, but it looks like you may have been hit by Penguin. You have tons of exact match keyword phrases in your anchor text throughout your site. When did your drop in rankings happen? It wasn't as far back as April was it?

Here is some reading you can do to find out more.

Hi

I'm not so sure it's Penguin because as a whole the site hasn't been hit, in fact organic traffic to the site has grown. The problem stems around a small hub of parcel related pages. The drop first happened when we changed these to affiliate pages; we then removed the affiliate links as detailed in my original question and tried various other ploys all to no avail. When you say we have a load of exact match keyword phrases in our on site anchor text you're not implying that this is somehow a bad thing?? Surely Google can't penalise for giving good on-site navigation??
