Trying to determine if my site was de-indexed...
-
I ran a search using the allinsite:floridainboundmarketing.com command and found that virtually all of my pages are not being returned in the results.
I'm one of those who (foolishly) used ALN blog network for a few months, got the unnatural links notice in WMT and on advice of other SEOs (including some here) I ignored it based on the idea that if my SERPS dropped due to alog update that a request for reconsideration was of no value.
As I watched my SERPs dropping I was confident that it was simply because those links were no longer being counted and overall link profile was poor, so the results started dropping.
I've not read where G has gone back and started de-indexing pages for such sites but it may be happening as (unless I'm wrong) my site is gone...
Anyone got any ideas? Am I searching correctly?

Doesn't look like your pages were deindexed.
Try site:floridainboundmarketing.com and you'll see them there.
intitle/allintitle is usually to find which pages are trying to rank for a keyword, since good SEO practices use putting the KW in the title. site:site.com shows the pages indexed for that site

Thanks - that helps. Thought I might be approaching it incorrectly and you've confirmed I was...

Glad to help
